Prayer for 2010

Papa,

Thank you for this new day and the beginning of a new year. Thank you for all you’ve brought me through in the last year and all the changes you’ve made in my life. Thank you for all the healing you’ve done in me and for never giving up on me as I struggled to live and to press through. Thank you for your guidance and closeness in the last year and for the hope of new life, with a child. Thank you for all your provisions and for your continued grace to me. I bless you for your faithfulness and loving kindness. You’ve been so good to me. I’m grateful for the way that you’ve saved me and given me the perspective on how you want me to live life. I’m so grateful for your favor and for your timing in the things you’ve allowed to happen this year. Thank you for all that you have done.

Thank you so much for who you are and for your awesome power and might. I look forward to getting to know you even better in this new year and to learning how to function well as your daughter on this earth. Thank you for your word and the power in it. Thank you for the truth of your word and for revelation, that has the ability to completely change lives.

Lord, I ask that in the coming year, your people would learn what it means to be yours and that they would come to you desiring desperately to know you intimately. I ask that there would be a tremendous shift in the priorities of your people, where they’re no longer caught up by the problems they face, but they learn to keep their eyes on you and to depend wholly on you, no matter what. I ask that your people would begin to leave old things behind in this new year and get with you to break the strongholds in their lives and heal all their wounds. I ask that your people would finally get to the place where they desire to know who they are in you and begin to learn about how valuable they are to you and the purpose you created them for. I ask that your people would begin to be about doing your will in the earth and be wholly committed to you. Let there be a longing to know you deeply and a desire to be faithful, to be transformed, to love and live completely for you. I ask that these changes would take place this year in your people and that the whole world would begin to see that you are God Alone, ruler of all, maker of all and you love them and have a gift of life to offer them.

This is my desire for 2010 and I ask that your kingdom, your rule and your way of doing things would come to our world and be done on earth in the same way that your angels go about carrying out your will in Heaven. May this be a year where you are glorified and your people finally get straight with you, and begin to live radical lives with boldness and an evident commitment to you, that leaves judgment and religiosity aside. Let love, compassion, mercy and forgiveness drive your people this year and let it create a change that this world has never seen before. Give them strength to stand during the attacks they will face as they pursue you and begin to advance. Have your way Lord and may you receive all the glory.

In Jesus’ Name, AMEN


My Daughter,

It pleases me that you would desire to ask for these things. I desire to see these changes take place in the world, and the time is coming where those who are truly my people will rise up and begin to do as you have asked. You’ve seen what it takes for drastic changes like that to occur, because of what you’ve endured in your own life in this last year. There will be pain, suffering and intense challenge to draw out this type of true commitment to me, because people don’t really experience a desire to change until they see the real emptiness in their own lives. Sometimes, seeing that emptiness requires significant, life-changing things to happen. You’ve experienced those things this year and I’ve taught you how to overcome and press through to really get to know me intimately. You see that it’s not an impossible feat and it is what I have desired from the beginning - to have intimate relationships with my creation and to lavish love and goodness on them and give them responsibility.

The world needs to know and my people need to remember that I am not about condemnation and that I am offering life to all who desire it and choose to believe in the provision I’ve made through Jesus Christ. I know that in this year you will remain committed to sharing what I’ve taught you with the world, so they can begin to know the power of an intimate relationship with me. This is my desire for you and it pleases me that you desire to do the same. Know that I will always be with you and I will continue to guide your steps and reveal more of my truths to you.

Love Always, Your Father God
