P-R-E-S-E-N-C-E—O-F—G-O-D

(This is a Prayer List that I love to use to draw me closer to God. I provide resources like these and more almost every month to Paid Subscribers to encourage their heart to be awakened and fully alive. I am providing the abbreviated version here. At the end, you will see a sample of the fuller version.)

I love talking to God! One thing that has helped me grow in prayer is using different prayer lists—not just personal lists of names and needs, but scriptural prayer prompts that guide me into deeper conversation with Jesus.

That’s what I’m sharing with you here. Using the phrase “PRESENCE OF GOD” as an acrostic, each letter provides a scriptural prayer prompt to help align your prayers with God’s will (1 John 5:14-15). Pray through this list for yourself, your family, and your church. Don’t just read it—pause, reflect, and let it lead you into real connection with Him.

PRESENCE OF GOD – A PRAYER GUIDE

  • P - Presence of God – Lord, I long for Your presence above all else. Fill me, surround me, and teach me to walk closely with You every day. (Psalm 16:11, Exodus 33:14)

  • R - Revelation – Open my eyes to see the beauty of Jesus and give me wisdom and understanding of Your Word. (Ephesians 1:17-18, Jeremiah 33:3)

  • N - Never-Ending Joy and Peace – Fill me with unshakable joy and deep peace beyond my circumstances. (Romans 15:13, Philippians 4:7)

  • C - Consecrated Life – Set me apart for Your glory. I surrender my life fully to You. (Romans 12:1, 2 Timothy 2:21)

  • E - Endurance – Strengthen me to remain faithful and steadfast in my walk with You. (Colossians 1:11, Hebrews 12:1)

  • O - One Thing – Keep my heart fixed on You as my highest pursuit and greatest treasure. (Psalm 27:4, Luke 10:42)

  • F - Fear of the Lord – Fill me with holy reverence for You and free me from lesser fears. (Proverbs 9:10, Psalm 86:11)

  • G - Goodness of God – Let me trust in Your goodness and walk in the blessings You provide. (Psalm 23:6, James 1:17)

  • O - Open Doors – Lead me to divine opportunities to serve You and fulfill Your purpose. (Revelation 3:8, Colossians 4:3)

  • D - Deliverance from Evil – Protect me from the enemy and surround me with Your angels. (Psalm 91:9-11, Matthew 6:13)

Pay attention to the Holy Spirit as He highlights specific requests, taking it as a signal to lean in more deeply to that request. Above all, immerse yourself in His Presence. This first page is an abbreviated prayer list. The following pages provide longer prayer prompts with scripture.

PRESENCE OF GOD PRAYER LIST VERSION 2

This is a little bit of an elongated version of the prayer list with more detailed prayer request as well as the scriptures typed out for you to refer to in your prayer. Enjoy!

P - Presence of God

Prayer: Lord, I long for Your presence more than anything else. Holy Spirit, draw me closer to Jesus so that I may know Him and experience the fullness of His presence. Fill every part of my life, surround me with Your glory, and cover me with Your Spirit. Teach me to walk in constant awareness of Your presence, abiding in You every moment. Let my heart burn with desire for You above all else.
Scriptures:

· Psalm 16:11 – You make known to me the path of life; in Your presence there is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

· Exodus 33:14 – And He said, "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."


R - Revelation

Prayer: Father, I hunger to know You more. Grant me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Open my eyes to behold His beauty, His glory, and the wonders of Your Kingdom. Holy Spirit, reveal Jesus to me in greater measure and illuminate the truth of Your Word in my heart. May I see with spiritual eyes and walk in divine understanding.
Scriptures:

· Ephesians 1:17-18 – That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened.

· John 16:13 – But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth.
