DEEP POWERPUL PRAYER to transform our loses to precious gains

Prayer to restore our losses to precious gains

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You everything that we count as a loss in our lives today. 

The failed interview, the lost finances, our blocked education, the broken home, the lost relationship, the thwarted plans, the insulted friendship, the shattered dreams, the destroyed ministry and many more. 

Lord of restoration, when You breathe life into our losses, they become precious gains once again. May no child of Yours despair today over anything that he or she has lost. 

May we keep our eyes focused on what lies ahead - victory in Your name and by Your power. 

And may we have the humility and the grace to work in replacing and rebuilding whatever we have lost - for Your Kingdom first. 

Amen.

Prayer to pray over our losses

Today, we pray over our losses

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You everything that we count as loss in our lives today. 

The lack of relationship with You, the failed interview, poor education, the broken home, the lost relationship, the thwarted plans, the insulted friendship, the shattered dreams, the destroyed ministry and many more. 

Lord, when You breathe life into our losses, they become precious gains once again. 

Help us to experience that and more importantly, recognize and thank You sincerely for that. 

May no child of Yours despair today over anything that he or she has lost. May we keep our eyes focused on what lies ahead - victory in Your name and by Your power. 

And may we have the humility and the grace to work in replacing and rebuilding whatever we have lost for us or others, or for Your Kingdom, by our own folly. 

Amen.

Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Come, Holy Spirit, come in our cities, in our homes,
in our families, in our glances, in our hearts.
Without you, we read books and do not become wise.
Without you, we dialogue much and do not come closer to one another.
Without you, reality consists in dry events, facts and numbers.
Without you, our life falls apart into a succession of meaningless days.
Without you, there is no fidelity.
Without you, our thoughts become delirious.
Without you, technology destroys us.
Without you, churches become museums.
Without you, prayer is just babbling.
Without you, our smile becomes petrified.
Without you, our environment becomes a desert.
Come, Holy spirit, our emptiness cries after your fullness!
Come, Spirit Creator, make your dwelling in our world!
