Morning time :

“Lord, thank you for being my first thought today. Lord, I’d like to start this day with a few moments alone in quiet in your presence. Lord, You alone are awesome, perfect, worthy of worship, and I yield my heart to You today. Thank you for the breath of life and for Your gracious willingness to have me as one of Your children. Lord, I surrender this new day to You – all of its possibilities, and all of its trials. I desire intensely to abide in you today Lord, and I pray for Your Spirit to fill me for that purpose, that You would be glorified by my thoughts and actions.

Lord, I pray that Your Spirit would guide every decision, every thought, and that my pride and ego would be disarmed today. I pray that the Evil one would be bound in my life today, in the name of Jesus. I pray that no sin would deftly entangle, but that it would be revealed by Your Spirit. I pray that my busyness would be denied today and that I would be available to You Lord, for whatever interruption or assignment You have for me. As I study your Word Lord, let the Spirit be my teacher, and protect me from all false teachers.

Let my maturity be based on obedience of the heart for Your two great commandments. Let me dwell in You today, not in my strength, and let me be for You and from You. Fill my thoughts today with Your awesome presence Lord, and bring to my mind every minute the gratitude and the wonder of living life in communion with You. Let my day be a constant conversation with You Lord. You are the object of my desire. I pray these things in hunger and expectation, in Jesus name. Amen”.

Evening time :

"Lord, thank you for this day and the way You moved in it. I am so thankful for Your constant presence and for Your unending patience, love, kindness, faithfulness, and provision. Even though my emotions or circumstances may have suggested otherwise, I know that You were in control of every detail, and that every detail was designed or allowed by You for my good. So I rejoice in You regardless of what happened today.

I worship You in Spirit and in truth. Lord, I have sinned today, and I seek Your forgiveness and cleansing. I take the blame for my errors and omissions, and give You the glory for all the good in today. I pray that as I sleep, Your Spirit would teach me and change my heart. I pray that Your presence would fill my dreams, and that you would protect me and my family. I praise You for being all sufficient and for being a Holy Father whom I can call Daddy. I love You, in Jesus name.”

How to Pray in Faith to be Filled with the Holy Spirit

We are filled with the Holy Spirit by faith alone. However, true prayer is one way of expressing your faith. The following is a suggested prayer:

"Dear Father, I need You. I acknowledge that I have been directing my own life and that, as a result, I have sinned against You. I thank You that You have forgiven my sins through Christ's death on the cross for me. I now invite Christ to again take His place on the throne of my life. Fill me with the Holy Spirit as You commanded me to be filled, and as You promised in Your Word that You would do if I asked in faith. I now thank You for directing my life and for filling me with the Holy Spirit."

Does this prayer express the desire of your heart? If so, bow in prayer and trust God to fill you with the Holy Spirit right now.
