An accident? Never. God created you “for such a time as this.”
Lord, before You formed us in our mothers’ wombs, You knew us. You knew the gifts and talents You gave us for what You called us to. Nothing about our makeup is accidental. You recorded all of our days in your book, knowing exactly how we’d fit into your grand plan. You’ve given each of us a purpose, a destiny to fulfill, because we are your people.
You spoke your plans over our lives, expecting to see your words come to pass. Thank You, you’re not careless with your words; throwing them around to see what sticks. No, You chose your words carefully, watching and working to see them come to pass. You didn’t just make us; You called us to fulfill a unique assignment in the earth. And you’ve been working in us ever since, preparing us for a purpose.
Lord, open our eyes and ears to what You’ve put in us and said about us.
And when we do, we will agree with You by faith, giving weight to your words over the limitations of our mind, will, and emotions. Lord, touch our mouths and put your words in them. Give us the courage to speak them, because those are the words You watch to fulfill in our lives.
You’ve positioned us to produce what You said.
And You equipped us for what You created us for. So, open our eyes to see the clues along the way, how our passions line up with your purpose for our lives. And as fears arise, remind us not to fear because You are with us and will rescue us. You didn’t give us a spirit of fear; yours is a spirit of power, of love and of a sound mind.
So as we go into this week, we’re readying ourselves to do and say whatever You tell us, sovereign Lord.
It’s in Jesus’ name, we pray and give You praise. Amen.
Prayer inspired by Jeremiah 1:4-19
“I have no words right now.”
We’ve all been there. Life hands you a problem you can’t even put into words, much less solve. And whether you’re a longtime believer who’s discouraged, you’re new to faith in Christ or you’re wondering what this “Jesus stuff” is all about, talking with God about what you’re facing feels so far out of reach.
What if there were a way to making talking to God easier?
You may not know what to say or you may not want to pray. But if you’re overwhelmed, speechless, and confused about what to do next, Jesus wants to help you.

These prayers are both powerful and practical. They connect your needs with God’s heart by echoing what God has already promised you. Because, unlike people, God always stands behind His word.

Christian prayer is not about religion. It’s a relationship with the living God. And when you have no words for what you’re facing, Jesus has plenty. So, you got a minute to pray?
