I pray you accept those who’ve done you wrong and love them unconditionally.

I pray you change. Change more into the person you were created to be and allow God to mold you. Embrace the hard time and trials and allow them to shape you. 

I pray you let the fire inside of you take over and ignite everything else that is surrounding you.

I pray you seek your worth from Abba.

I pray you constantly extend grace and love, and let them flow without boarders.

I pray you use and take advantage of every single opportunity you have.

I pray you allow yourself to just be completely immersed in His word.

I pray you hold your tongue when something doesn’t need to be said, but I pray you also say the tough things that need to be said.

I pray you check yourself constantly and make sure what you’re doing is life giving and moving you closer to your Father.

I pray you give up control and fully trust in God.

I pray you have the courage to see people as who God created them to be.

I pray you call out those who have more potential and can do better.

I pray you humble yourself and give credit where credit is due.

I pray you are always willing to change and that you allow it to happen.

I pray you become more Christ-like and find joy in the hard times.

I pray you never stop questioning things or ever become comfortable. 

And lastly, I pray that you grow in the word and strive to keep going deeper in your intimacy with the Lord.
