Prayer

 

Lord,

Thank you for promising us a sound mind.  I lay claim to that promise for (name).  I pray that his/her mind be clear, alert, bright, intelligent, stable, peaceful, and uncluttered.  I pray there will be no confusion, no dullness, and no unbalanced, scattered, unorganized or negative thinking. I pray that (name’s) mind will not be filled with complex or confusing thoughts. Rather, give (name) clarity of mind so that he/she is able to think straight at all times. 

Give (name) the ability to make clear decisions, to understand all he/she needs to know, and to be able to focus on what he/she needs to do. Where there is now any mental instability, impairment or dysfunction, I speak healing in Jesus’ name.  May (name) be renewed in the spirit of his/her mind (Eph 4:23) and have the mind of Christ (1 Cor 2:16). I pray that (name) will so love the Lord with all his/her heart, soul and mind that there will be no room in him/her for the lies of the enemy or the clamoring of the world. 

May the Word of God take root in (name’s) heart and fill his/her mind with things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous, and praiseworthy (Phil 4:8). Give (name) understanding that what goes into his/her mind becomes part of him/her, so that he/she will weigh carefully what he/she sees and hears. You have said, You will keep him/her in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he/she trusts in You (Is 26:3). I pray that (name’s) faith in You and Your Word will grow daily so that he/she will live forever in peace and soundness of mind.

Colossians 1:9-14

For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, ¹⁰ so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; ¹¹ strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously ¹² giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light. ¹³ For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, ¹⁴ in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
