Prayer for the Single Christian
Heavenly Father, in the Name of Jesus, I come boldly before Your throne of grace confessing Your Word over my life as a single Christian. I pray that You will help me to live a godly life as I struggle in the world being single. Help me Lord to live a life that is holy, sanctified and set aside for Your purpose, prepared to do Your good work. I confess Your word, that as a single Christian; my life is crucified with You Lord, nevertheless I live; yet it’s not I that live but it’s You Lord that lives through me; and the life I now live in the flesh as a single Christian. I declare that I will live by faith, power and the strength of Your Son, Jesus Christ that died for all my sins (Galatians 2:20). Father, You said that You would never leave me alone and I trust in Your promise that You will fellowship with me every day through the Comforter, the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:20). I pray Lord, when I get lonely may You, through the Holy Spirit be the One who consoles me (Hebrews 13:5). May You be my closest friend. Help me Lord to come to You first when I need someone to talk to. As I talk to You I ask that You will speak back to my heart. I pray Lord for godly friends and acquaintances that will be an encouragement to me to continue to love and serve You. Keep me away from those who would draw me away from You Lord. You know my heart and as a single Christian I ask that you help me to not be drawn into any sexual temptation, fornication, adultery, immorality or perversion (1 Corinthians 10:13). Father, help me to rebuke the devil if he tries to mislead my mind into thinking that the single Christian life is boring, incomplete or unfulfilling. I pray to You, Heavenly Father that through all the days of my being single that You will help me to see my life as joyous, exciting and fully complete in You Lord. I will trust in You to decide if I am to remain a single Christian as I keep my eyes on You and trust in Your will for my life. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen
Prayer for the Single Parent
Heavenly Father, I thank You for my child (children). I know that children are a gift from You (Psalms 127:3-5), that you have placed them in my care. Lord You know the challenges I face each day as a single parent. Children can seem to consume all of my time, energy, and patience. It can be trying for two parents to raise them, and as a single parent the daily tasks can seem overwhelming at times. Father, I am trusting You to supply all our needs: spiritual, financial, physical. I want to enjoy my child (children), and I want their time with me to be a blessing. Children learn more from what they see than from what they hear. Therefore, I ask you to strengthen me daily to respond and react to each challenge as You would have me to. Let me be as patient and gentle with them as You are with me. 1 Corinthians 10:13 says that You will not put on me more than I can bear. This is Your promise to always provide what I need to accomplish Your will in the midst of trials. Young people can face such temptation, abuse, rejection, pressure to conform. The list seems unending. Let our home be a place of peace, comfort and refuge from the evil in the outside world. Lord, let them see that it is faith in You and obedience to You that brings peace and wholeness. May they know by the way I treat them that they truly are a gift and a blessing to me. May they understand Your love and faithfulness to them because of what they see in me. Give me strength, give me grace. In Jesus name, amen.
