Praying Risky Prayers

Praying Risky Prayers

Can prayer be risky? Most of the time we pray safe prayers. God bless me, help me, protect me, and heal me. Risky prayers are not easy, but they are life changing. They are the result of a spirit of brokenness and are filled with bold faith. I want to encourage you to spend three times this week Reading the three scriptures below and praying the Holy Spirit would speak to you about what he wants you give over to Him. My prayer is that you will be transformed because you have met with God personally.

Lord, Search Me Jeremiah 17:9-10
“The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is? 10 But I, the Lord, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve.”

Lord, Break Me Psalm 27
The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God.

Lord, Send Me Isaiah 6:1-8
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3 And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” 4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. 5 “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.” 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.” 8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
