Karen 'Girl' Friday15 Prayers to Transform My Heart and Life

15 Prayers to Transform My Heart and Life

My daughter and I used to enjoy watching shows with the purpose to transform someone’s appearance—hair, makeup, and wardrobe.

Likewise, prayer has the power to transform us from the inside out.

So I gathered prayers I prayed and jotted down in my prayer journal or shared here on my blog.

And prayers I posted on social media to encourage other believers.

Transform My Heart

(1.) Lord, empower me to live godly in an ungodly culture. And strengthen me to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6:8 (ESV)

Transform My Life

(6.) Heavenly Father, thank you for sending your Son to die for me. I never want to get over your saving grace and the redeeming blood of Jesus. Forgive me of my sins. Sometimes I say, think, or do things unpleasing to You. Help me repent often and quickly. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
