PRAYERS FOR FRESH OIL IN PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION

Romans 8:26 – “Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”
1. Pray that the Lord will ignite in us a fresh fire for prayer, stirring a deep hunger to seek His face (Psalm 69:9). Ask that the Holy Spirit will remove every form of lukewarmness and spiritual laziness. Pray that we will prioritise the place of prayer above all else, longing for God’s presence more than anything.

2. Ask the Lord to give us the discipline and commitment to maintain a strong prayer life, just as Daniel prayed consistently despite opposition (Daniel 6:10-12). Pray that we will develop the habit of seeking God daily, making prayer a priority and not an afterthought. Ask for the grace to be persistent in prayer, never giving up but pressing in until we see results (Luke 18:1). 

3. Pray that the Holy Spirit will teach us to pray effectively, just as Jesus taught His disciples in Matthew 6:9-13. Ask for wisdom and understanding, so that we do not pray amiss (James 4:3). Pray for sensitivity to the leading of the Spirit in prayer, that we may pray in alignment with God’s will. Pray that our words will not be empty repetitions but will be filled with power and revelation.

4. Ask the Lord to give us a burden to intercede for others, standing in the gap for families, the church, and the nation (Ezekiel 22:30). Pray that we will not focus only on our personal needs but will pray for revival, justice, and transformation in our families, communities, and nation. We will be moved by compassion to pray for the needs of others and intercede against oppression, wickedness, and ungodliness, asking for righteousness to prevail.

5. Pray for unshakable faith that believes God for the miraculous, just as Elijah prayed and the heavens responded (James 5:17). Ask for boldness to trust in God’s power, declaring that nothing is impossible with Him. Pray that our faith will not be weakened by delays but will grow stronger through persistence in prayer.

6. Pray for a fresh release of power in the place of prayer, that our prayers will be fervent and life-changing (James 5:16). Just as Jesus prayed earnestly until His sweat became like drops of blood (Luke 22:44), ask for grace to travail in prayer.

7. Ask for grace to overcome distractions that pull us away from prayer. Pray that we will not be consumed by the cares of life but will separate ourselves to seek God, just as Hannah withdrew to pray (1 Samuel 1:9-28). Ask for a focused and undistracted heart, fully committed to a life of prayer.
