A PRAYER FOR DEEPER ENCOUNTERS WITH GOD

Feb 19, 2026

Romans 9:16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.

Father, we honour You and appreciate You for drawing us into Your presence once again. As we come to seek Your face, continue to reveal Yourself to us in ways and dimensions we have never experienced before.

Daddy, it is not about exertion or human ability; it is by the election of grace. And now that we have found grace before You, please unveil Yourself to us. We know that the depth of Your revelation determines our level of communion and fellowship with You.

Lord, open our eyes that we may love more deeply, walk more closely with You, and fully experience the riches of that which You paid for at such a great price. King of Glory, we will not rest until we walk fully in the reality of all that Jesus paid for.

Acts 17:28 for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, “For we are also His offspring.’

Daddy, there are depths in You that we desire to enter. Your Word clearly states that our strength depends on our knowledge of You. How shall we do exploits in this age unless we truly know You, not a knowledge by the letter, but one born from encounter and experience? (Daniel 11:32)

Therefore, take us to that place where our lives are transformed through an inward knowing. Let revelation settle in our spirits, flow outward, and manifest in a way that changes how we live. May there be a visible witness in our transformed character, where the fruit of the Spirit is evident in us.

As Your Word says; No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him at the last day. John 6:44

Lord, here we are. We pray for a divine drawing unto Yourself by Your Spirit. Let there be a mingling of our spirit with Yours. As John the Baptist declared, let it become our daily experience — that we decrease and You increase.

Like it was written of Enoch, that he walked with God until he was no more, may we be so wrapped up and consumed in You that men no longer see us, but You. Lord, we desire to awaken in Your likeness and reveal You in every aspect of our lives, displaying the fullness of the fruit of the Spirit to Your body.

Matthew 21:42… “The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone…

Father, You are the Builder; we yield to Your bidding, Your cleansing, Your transforming grace, and Your surgical work in our spirit, soul, and body. No matter how unpleasant it may be, chisel us so that we may see correctly in this spiritual construction taking place in our lives.

Father, continue to shape us in Your image and likeness. Let it be seen and witnessed in our character and functionality, so that our lives become a testimony to the world — even to those who question the validity and authenticity of Your Word.

You are the Potter, and we are the clay. Make us, O Lord, until the Master is revealed through us. We refuse to settle for the status quo, and we respond to the call of Your Spirit into deeper dimensions in You. Amen.

STAY BLESSED AND HIGHLY FAVORED, WE LOVE YOU.
