Devotions: A prayer for the grace of God

There are so many times when we are facing trials and tribulations that we know we have to turn to God, but we wonder if it will provide us with the grace we desire so much. Prayers for God's grace are what you want. When we pray for grace, we go to him with our problems. We trust in Him and are honest about what we are going through, about the mistakes we are making and more.

When we pray for the grace of others, we also rely on God to protect the people we love. It helps us grow in our relationship with him.

Prayers for grace
Here are two prayers for grace, one for you and one for the others.

A prayer for you

Lord, I know you are merciful. I have been taught that you offer grace and mercy despite my behavior and despite my sins. You are a good God who comes to those who need you, no matter what happens. And Lord, I need you now in my life more than ever. I know I'm not perfect. I know that my sins are not hidden from you. I know that sometimes it's a pity it's a pity. I am human, Lord, and although it is not an excuse, I know that you love me despite my human nature.

Lord, today I need you to take care of me. I need your grace in my life to provide strength because I am weak. I have to face temptations every day and I wish I could say that I always go away. I can no longer do it alone. I just can't. I need you to give me strength and guide me to overcome these desires to sin. I need you to give me direction in the darkest moments when I wonder if I can even face the next day. You can move the mountains that block my life. You can give me what I need in my life.

Please, Lord, I ask you to come into my life and offer your grace. I am open and ready to accept it. Allow my heart to always be focused on you and express the desire to live for you. Lord, from the scriptures I know your grace is bestowed anyway, so today I'm just asking for it. I may not always be perfect, but I strive to be better. Sir, help me get better. Help me to see the clear and narrow path in front of me so that you can walk in your ways and in your glory. On your behalf,

A prayer for someone else

Sir, thank you for everything you do in my life. I know, Lord, that we are imperfect people who live in imperfect times, but Lord, some of us need your grace in a powerful way. Sir, please protect this person from the things that keep them away from you. Let that person live in you as you wish. Give them strength during this tough period of their life. Let your desires be their desires.

Lord, please provide your grace through protection from harm that appears to come from them physically, emotionally and spiritually. Please give them the strength to overcome every day, because you are there to provide for them. Lord, I ask you to cover them gracefully for healing and direction.

Please, Lord, give me the strength to be honest with them so that I can be an instrument of grace. Let me be more like you by providing them with unconditional love - something they so need in their lives. Give them a path and show them clearly what needs to be done. I ask you, Lord, to provide as you always do - to move the mountains of doubt and pain that fill their lives. In your holy name, Amen.
