PRAYER OF THE AFFLICTED

Exodus 2:23

Psalm 18:6, (102:1)

"Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee". (Psalm 102:1 KJV)

 

 


The prayer of the afflicted is synonymous with a cry before the Lord. To cry is to yell, shed tears, scream, and shout. Beloved, the situations everywhere in the world, could even make a genuine child of God, to go the extra mile with madness in the spirit. To call God in groaning for divine intervention, vengeance, destruction and so on, over the works of darkness.


These situations have been of old even in the land of Egypt, where the Israelites were being oppressed by their task masters until they cried to God for deliverance. The psalmist knows this, even in Psalm 56:9 "When I cry unto thee, then shall my enemies turn back: this I know, for God is for me."  Our cry could be for self, intercessory for nations, and peace in the world. The effectiveness of our cry for victory over afflictions is built on our relationship with our God.


Therefore, we need to ask God to clean our hearts and create a right Spirit within us always, so as to be delivered, blessed, promoted, even make eternity in heaven.

To surrender your life to Christ, say this prayer aloud: “Father, I acknowledge my sin against You. I repent and ask for forgiveness, in the name of Jesus. I surrender to the Lordship of Jesus. By the power of Your Holy Spirit, take control of my heart and lead me in Your path of righteousness. Thank you, Lord.”

If you said the prayer, Congratulations! Prayerfully look for a living church and meet the resident reverend, pastor or priest.


 

Prayer:

  1. Power of affliction in my life die in the name of Jesus.

  2. Seed of affection in my life catch fire in the name of Jesus.

  3. O God my father, deliver me from the enemies that are stronger than me in the name of Jesus.

  4.  Any sin, that is opening my life to attack, Oh God arise and deliver me now in the name of Jesus.

  5. Power of fresh revival fall upon me now in the name of Jesus.
