Prayers For Faith

We have collected some of the best prayers for faith to use in request to God. May these prayers for safety bring you comfort and peace of mind. May these prayers for strength encourage your spirit and strengthen your faith.

Faith, is confidence or trust in a person, thing, or concept. In the context of religion, one can define faith as confidence or trust in a particular system of religious belief. Religious people often think of faith as confidence based on a perceived degree of warrant, while others who are more skeptical of religion tend to think of faith as simply belief without evidence.

There are two sides to the love of truth; one is constituted by knowledge while the other is constituted by faith. Indeed, while on one side of the relationship is the discovery and determination of the truth, i.e., what creates the link between human knowledge and consciousness, on the other side is the attitude adopted in relation to the truth.

Through the light of belief, man rises to the highest of the high and acquires a value worthy of Paradise. … O man who does not place his trust in God! You too come to your senses like that man and place your trust in Him, so that you may be delivered from begging before all the universe, trembling before every event, from pride, making a fool of yourself, misery in the hereafter, and the prison of the pressures of this world…

Prayer for Faith #1

Lord, I believe: I wish to believe in You.

Lord, let my faith be full and unreserved, and let it penetrate my thought, my way of judging Divine things and human things.

Lord, let my faith be joyful and give peace and gladness to my spirit, and dispose it for prayer with God and conversation with men, so that the inner bliss of its fortunate possession may shine forth in sacred and secular conversation.

Lord, let my faith be humble and not presume to be based on the experience of my thought and of my feeling. Amen.

Prayer for Faith #2

Lord God, You are merciful. Lord God, You are kind. Lord God, you are filled with compassion. Only You can bring true peace; only You can bring true joy.

We ask that you mold us and make us in Your image, in your pattern of holiness. Make us instruments of Your peace to comfort, strengthen, help, and bless those who are hurting, those who are hurting, those who are wounded, those who are dying. Let us show them your mercy, your loving kindness, and your compassion. Let us strengthen and uphold them with Your loving hands and show them the way to heaven.

May we be faithful in that which you have called us to do. Let us serve you in all humility, doing nothing to bring honor to ourselves, but only to point others the way to You. Help us to be faithful in that which you have called us to do. Amen.

Elijah’s Prayer of Faith

LORD, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your word. Hear me, LORD, hear me, that this people may know that you, LORD, are God, and that you have turned their heart back again.” Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. – 1 Kings 18:36-38

Prayer for Strength and Faith

In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Dear Lord, see me through these hard times. In these troubling times, I am filled with unspeakable fears. I reach out my hand to you now, And ask you to walk besides me. I cannot carry all my burdens, But I know you can, and will. Please walk beside me. Please guide me. Please help me hold on strong, Through the trials and storms. Help me hold on to my faith, In even the darkest hour. Stay with me Lord, And show me Your way. In your love and Holy Spirit I abide. Amen.

Speak to me in the way You know I will hear you best. I also pray for Your Will, Lord. I give You the praise and the glory in my circumstances because I know that I am exactly where You want me. I know this is to teach me something or to help me to grow. No matter what, I trust you and ask You to show what is best in this situation. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.

In Jesus Christ Name I pray, Amen.

Trust In God’s Faithfulness

Father God, I have never seen a more critical time in my business career than I have witnessed over the past few months. There seem to be more and more people facing financial hardship and little businesses are finding themselves in a position that the door on an established family businesses – that has been seen many generations come and go – are increasingly having to close the doors on business. Lord though sadness fills my heart when I witness so many people in this devastating position – whatever the reason for this economic failure – I am trusting in You and You alone…

Words fail me Father – but as I whisper this prayer to You – and I ask that You would hear my prayer… as I speak pray through a prayer that Habakkuk the prophet brought before You Lord, so many centuries ago – and yet it seem to be so relevant to the difficulties that so many are facing today…..

My heart is pounding and my lips quiver – decay creeps into my bones, and my legs trembled – at what is happening. Yet I will wait patiently for Lord. Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, YET I WILL REJOICE IN THE LORD, I WILL BE JOYFUL IN GOD MY SAVIOUR – The Sovereign Lord is my strength.

Praise Your holy name – Amen
