Evangelical Prayers — Walking Daily with Jesus
Evangelical Christianity emphasizes a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the authority of the Bible, and the call to share the Gospel with the world. These prayers will help you grow closer to the Lord.
The Evangelical Heart for Prayer
For evangelicals, Christianity is not just a religion — it's a relationship. We talk to God like we talk to a friend, because through Jesus Christ, that's exactly what He is. Prayer is our lifeline, our daily conversation with the One who loves us most.
Evangelicals believe in the transforming power of being "born again" — a spiritual rebirth that changes everything. Our prayers reflect this personal, intimate walk with Christ and our passion to see others experience the same saving grace.
Prayer to Accept Jesus
Lord Jesus, I need You. I admit that I'm a sinner and I can't save myself. I believe You are the Son of God and that You died on the cross for my sins and rose again. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart to You. I receive You as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be. I love You, Jesus. In Your name I pray, Amen.
John 1:12 — "Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God."
Prayer for Quiet Time
Good morning, Lord. Before the busyness of this day takes over, I come to You. Speak to me through Your Word today. Open my eyes to see wonderful things. Quiet my mind so I can hear Your still, small voice. This is the most important appointment of my day — time alone with You. Fill me with Your presence. Transform me by the renewing of my mind. I give You this day. Use me for Your glory. I want to walk with You every step. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Psalm 5:3 — "In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly."
Prayer for Spiritual Growth
Father, I don't want to stay where I am spiritually. I want to grow deeper in my relationship with You. Increase my hunger for Your Word. Give me a stronger prayer life. Help me to produce the fruit of the Spirit — love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Prune away anything in my life that is keeping me from becoming more like Jesus. I want to be a mature believer who can help others grow in their faith too. In Jesus' name, Amen.
2 Peter 3:18 — "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."
Prayer for Boldness to Share the Gospel
Lord, You have commanded us to go and make disciples of all nations. Give me boldness to share my faith. Help me to see people the way You see them — as precious souls for whom Christ died. Put divine appointments in my path today. Give me the right words at the right time. Take away my fear of rejection. Let my life be a testimony that draws others to You. The harvest is plentiful, Lord. Make me a faithful laborer. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Acts 1:8 — "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
Prayer for Family Salvation
Father, I lift up my family members who don't yet know You. You know each one by name. Draw them to Yourself by Your Holy Spirit. Remove the spiritual blindness that keeps them from seeing the truth. Break down the walls of pride, hurt, and indifference. Send other believers to speak into their lives. Give me opportunities to share my testimony with grace and love. I claim Your promise that if I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, I will be saved — and my household. I pray in faith, trusting in Your timing and Your ways. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Acts 16:31 — "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved — you and your household."
Prayer of Surrender
Lord Jesus, I surrender all to You. My life is not my own — it was bought with a price. Take my hands and let them work for You. Take my feet and let them go where You lead. Take my voice and let it speak for You. Take my mind and let it think Your thoughts. Take my heart and let it love what You love. I lay down my plans, my dreams, and my will. Not my will, but Yours be done. I am Yours completely. Use me as You see fit. In Your precious name, Amen.
Romans 12:1 — "Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God — this is your true and proper worship."
