At the beginning of every month, it’s important to begin with God in order to get things right. Life is
full of unknowns, but when you devote your life to God, you can rest assured that no matter what
happens, everything will be fine.
In our busy lives, we often forget to pause and connect with our Creator. We get caught up in our daily
responsibilities and deadlines, rushing from one task to another without taking a moment to seek
guidance and strength from above. However, starting each month with God can help us prioritize our
spiritual well-being and set the tone for the upcoming days.
When you commit the month to God, you can be fearless, knowing that he who goes before you and
after you will keep you safe and deliver you from every evil. The uncertainties and challenges that lie
ahead may seem daunting, but leaning on God’s strength and wisdom can give us the confidence to
navigate through them with grace.
5 prayer points for the month
For your relationship with God
In the midst of life’s challenges and uncertainties, it is comforting to know that we have a divine
relationship waiting for us. Our relationship with God is not merely an abstract concept or a distant
connection; it is a vital part of our lives that can guide us, empower us, and bring us closer to true
success.
When we consciously and sincerely seek a closer relationship with God, we invite His presence into our
lives. The Bible teaches us in John chapter 15 that Jesus is the true vine, and we are the branches. Just
as branches derive sustenance, nourishment, and strength from the vine, so too can we find fulfillment,
direction, and peace in our relationship with God.
As we draw closer to Him through prayer, worship, and devotional activities, God reciprocates by
drawing closer to us. When He is at the center of our lives, we allow Him to mold and shape us,
guiding our decisions and providing divine wisdom to navigate life’s challenges. This intimate
connection manifests through a sense of peace, assurance, and a deep understanding of our purpose.
Prayer for your relationship with God
Everlasting Father, Thank you for the blessings and mercies you have bestowed upon me. Thank you
for your protection and guidance. As we begin a new month, I pray that you, Lord, will assist me in
focusing my thoughts on you and remaining in you. Guide me in letting go of any distractions that
may be interfering with my connection with you. Teach me to love you and guide me in focusing my
attention on you.
Cleanse me of my sins and assist me in letting go of anything that does not reflect well on your Holy
Name. Help me in living a Christ-centered life. Allow your Holy Spirit to lead me in whatever I do. Let
it serve as a constant reminder to always put you first no matter what. Help me to study your word
more thoroughly and to gain the wisdom and understanding necessary to apply it in my life.
When things don’t go as planned, please remind me that your plan for me is better than what I believe
I desire. As each day passes, please strengthen my faith in you, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Pray for God’s grace
Grace can be defined as the unmerited favor of God, freely given to us despite our shortcomings and
mistakes. It is a divine enablement that allows us to experience the fullness of God’s love, mercy, and
blessings. Although we cannot earn grace, through faith, we can unlock its transformative power in
our lives.
When we have the grace of God upon us, we find ourselves walking in alignment with His plans and
purposes. Doors of opportunities begin to open, and we discover paths that were previously unknown
to us. Suddenly, what may have seemed impossible becomes achievable through the favor that the essence of God’s grace. Our salvation, the ultimate act of God’s grace, is a testament to the
generosity and boundless love of our Creator. However, grace does not end with our salvation; it
extends to every facet of our lives if we embrace it fully.
To experience the fullness of God’s grace, we must first acknowledge our need for it. Recognizing that
we are imperfect and inadequate without His intervention is the first step towards receiving His grace.
Through prayer, worship, and studying His Word, we open ourselves up to the transformative power of
grace.
