5 Prayers for When Everything Is Going… Right

But even as we enjoy these blessings, I don’t want to stagnate here God. I pray that you would use this season to still challenge my faith, to see you in new ways, and to deepen my relationship with you as both my Father and my Lord. God, I ask that you would grow my faith in this time. Protect my heart from the temptation to lean on my own power, or forget that all of these blessings came from your hand.

God, as happy and content as I am right now, please remind me that I am to hold onto all earthly things with an open hand. All good gifts come from you, and you will use them as you will. Help me not to hoard my possessions, my time, or my talents, but to always be willing to use them to grow and benefit your Kingdom on earth. Open my eyes to these opportunities, God, and help me to see you.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Dear God,

As sunny as things are in my life right now, please don’t allow me to be blinded by that light. I know that there are so many people around me who are struggling in different ways. I pray that you would be with my friends and family members who I know need some extra support right now. Please cover them with your wings, God. Help them to feel comforted and loved during their difficult time.

God, help me not to be too wrapped up in my happiness, but humble me when someone around me is going through a dark time. I want to walk with my friend through this, and not try to force them to feel an artificial joy that they aren’t ready for yet. Help me to love them well, and support them in whatever way they need.

As friends share prayer requests with me, please keep those on my heart and mind. I want to continue to lift up those needs, and not forget about others in my time of happiness and ease. Please be with my friends, and bring them to a season of joy, as you have done for me. May their tears only last for the night, and may they experience your supernatural joy as the morning comes.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

Dear Lord,

I thank you and praise you for this easy, fun season you’ve blessed me with! It’s nice to have nothing to worry about or to cause stress. And even while I enjoy this season, I am aware that the world around me is still plagued by sin. Hard times will come again. God, I know that these hard times are not a punishment from you, or a reaction to anything I’ve done. It’s just the unfortunate truth of living in a sinful world.

Because of that, I pray for strength as this season fades, Lord. I don’t want my faith to be conditional, changing with the seasons. I want to maintain my joy and dependence on you no matter the circumstances. God, please strengthen and empower me to do this. Help me to cling to your Word in the good times and the bad. Let praise be always on my lips, even when it’s hard. I know that you never change, even as the world around me seems tossed between seasons of joy and seasons of chaos so quickly that it makes my head spin.

But you are unchanging God. You are loving, and you are good. Help me to keep my eyes firmly fixed on you through everything.

I ask this in Jesus’ name,

Amen.
