3 Prayers for RenewalSample

Prayer 2: A New Song In Your Mouth

Friend, do you need a refreshing in your spirit? Do you want the Lord to restore the song of your heart?

If so, after you read today's key Scripture passage, pray this:

• Tell the Lord that you claim the words of Psalm 40:1-3 for yourself.
• Thank our Heavenly Father for hearing the cry of your heart. Thank Him for helping you wait on Him and trust in Him.
• Thank Him for bringing you up out of the horrible pit and out of the miry clay. (Yes, go ahead and thank Him for these things, even if you’re still in the process of coming up out of the pit. Thank Him in advance, and thank Him for how far He has brought you already!)
• Thank the Lord for setting your feet upon a rock and transforming your life. Thank Him for establishing your steps, even if they don't feel completely established yet!
• Ask Him to fully heal and restore your heart from all the trouble you have been through.
• Ask Him to give you rest for your soul, and to renew and restore you inside and out as you wait on Him.
• Ask the Father to give you a new song today; to restore the joy of your salvation; and to put a new song—a hymn of praise—into your mouth.

Then, ask Him to download new songs into you by day and by night.

• Ask Him to restore and refresh your spirit, soul, and body so much that you sing to Him even when no one is listening or asking you to.
• Ask Him to fill you with the melodies of Heaven—songs that have never been heard on the earth.

Friend, pray over the song of your heart daily, and watch how the Lord works on your behalf. The more you continue to seek Him, the more He will reveal new melodies of Heaven to you.
