Prayer For Change of Attitude
Dear God, I pray for a change in attitude. I want to be more tolerant and understanding of other people, and I want to find peace in the fact that I have a lot to learn.

I know that I have been unyielding in my opinions and have refused to listen to others. I ask you now to help me see beyond myself and place my trust in Your wisdom. Please help me understand that the opinions of others may be just as valid as my own. Help me, too, to see that the things I have been fighting for may not be worth fighting for at all. Remind me that You are the only thing that truly matters, and that all others are just passing through this life with me on their way somewhere else. I want them to go away happy and satisfied with what they have accomplished here on earth.

Prayer For Christ-like Attitude
Lord, I thank you for the way you have blessed me. I am grateful for your love, mercy and grace. Today, I ask that you give me a godly attitude. I pray that my heart will be filled with gratitude and joy, knowing that all good things come from you. Grant me the wisdom to see where you are working in my life and help me to be appreciative of the many blessings that I have received. I pray that my heart will be filled with love for others and a desire to serve them, even those who are not so kind or considerate towards me.
Lord, help me to be positive about myself and others around me, because it is much easier for people to be negative towards someone else than it is for them to do something nice for them. Help me to look at everyone with understanding in order to gain their trust, because once they trust us, we can guide them in their life’s journey as they look to us as an example of how they should live their lives according to your word (1 Tim 4:12). Thank you, Lord! In Jesus’ name! Amen

Please help me to be open to the changes that are coming into my life now and in the future. Let me see them as opportunities for growth instead of things that cause stress and anxiety. Help me accept these changes as blessings rather than curses, and let me learn from them what it means to be a better person than I am today.
Amen
Dear God,
Thank you for this new day. Please help me to see it in a good light and make the most of what I can, instead of dwelling on the things that are not working out as I would like them to.
I am grateful for my family, my friends, and all the gifts you’ve given me.
Thank you for taking care of me every day, whether I know it or not!
Asking For Prayers And Positive Thoughts
“Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy.” James 1:2 (NLT)
James wrote today’s key verse during a time when the Christians had allowed the frustrations and annoyances of life to steal their optimism and joy. But in their defense, these believers had a lot of serious and justifiable reasons to have a bad attitude.
They faced great persecution, unrelenting trials and sufferings—from murder to imprisonment—at the hands of Saul, who was zealous in his efforts to destroy the church and anyone associated with Jesus. As a result, these Christians were juggling an array of emotions, including fear, mourning, confusion, loneliness and even hopelessness.
Some fled their homes in fear for their lives. They lived in poverty, forced to scrounge for food to survive. Some were sick, and everyone was exhausted. They had every right to be negative and pessimistic. I can only imagine, as they sank under the weight of seemingly insurmountable problems and fears, that their faith might have been sinking too.
James acknowledged their suffering but also wanted to give them hope and encouragement. He told them inner joy could still be theirs if they deliberately chose to take control of their thinking and change their attitude. He encouraged them to pause and refocus on their faith.
When life gets hard, it’s difficult to avoid letting a bad attitude take over our minds and rule our lives. We might not experience religious persecution as those first believers did, but let’s face it: people hurt us, the past haunts us, coworkers mistreat us, parents don’t love us, friends don’t consider us, spouses don’t honor us, children don’t appreciate or respect us, finances don’t support us, and our health doesn’t sustain us. James’ instructions to the believers of his time can help us, too.
I closed my Bible, realizing my attitude was my choice and knowing whatever circumstances I faced didn’t have the power to dictate that attitude unless I let them.
Although enduring problems with a smile and pure joy in our hearts can be difficult, doing so not only helps us become stronger believers, it opens the door for an attitude transformation.
Our attitudes are an outward display of what’s taking place in our hearts. When our hearts focus in the right place, our attitudes will, too. The only thing we have to lose by choosing a positive attitude is a negative one.
Lord, free me from the shackles of a bad attitude. Work in my heart and mind to transform my thinking from negative to positive, despite the struggles I face. Fill me with a joy that can only come from You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Four Powerful Attitudes in Prayer that Yield Results
Do you struggle in your prayer life? Not just in making time for prayer or trying to avoid distractions in prayer, but do you struggle with how to pray? I believe that the Psalmist King David demonstrates four powerful attitudes in prayer that yield results.
First Powerful Attitude in Prayer – Boldness
Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace,
that we may receive mercy,
and may find grace to help us in time of need.
Hebrews 4:16
When you pray to the Lord, do you tend to pray with words like “please,” “could you,” or “if it’s your will”? I do, and I’m guessing I’m not alone in this. To give ourselves Grace, we are praying to God Almighty, maker of heaven and Earth after all!
Yet words like “please, “could you” or anything prefaced with “if” do not sound like bold, believing prayer, but doubting prayer.
To clarify, as Believers, we certainly should be praying for God’s will in a situation, but I believe we can pray for God’s will boldly, just as David did in the following verses from Psalm 55:.
Give ear to my prayer, O God,
and hide not yourself from my pleas for mercy!
Attend to me, and answer me;
Psalm 55 1-2a
David is boldly calling God into action by using action words! He is not praying demandingly or selfishly, but praying according to the promises of God’s Word which could not be more in God’s will!
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer,
1 Peter 3:12a
O Lord, you have searched me and known me!
2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
3 You search out my path and my lying down
and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.
Psalm 139:1-4
“Before they call I will answer;
while they are still speaking I will hear.”
Isaiah 65:24
When we pray boldly to the Lord, those prayers will indeed yield results.
Second Powerful Attitude in Prayer – Honesty
Do you feel intimidated to really tell God how you feel; to allow whatever frustrations, resentments, concerns, worries, selfishness or whatever you’re feeling in the matter of prayer to be detailed to the Lord in all honesty?
If you’re like me, you might be ashamed about how you are feeling and not want to articulate that to the Lord.
But can I tell you, He can take it! He wants our prayers to be honest so that He can address them lovingly.
David demonstrates this as we continue in Psalm 55…
My heart is in anguish within me;
the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
Fear and trembling come upon me,
and horror overwhelms me.
And I say, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest;
yes, I would wander far away;
I would lodge in the wilderness;
I would hurry to find a shelter
from t he raging wind and tempest”
Psalm 55:4-8
Here we see David praying honestly about his feelings. Telling the Lord that he is afraid and not only that, he wants to run away from his troubles! I think David and I would get along! 😉
I sought the LORD, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.
Psalm 34:4
When we adopt an attitude of honesty in prayer it will yield wonderful results.
Third Powerful Attitude in Prayer – Authority
You might be thinking, whoa Karen, I think you’ve gone a little too far with this attitude.
Here’s the thing, there are many matters of prayer that we CAN pray with authority. Such as praying to the Lord that a sinful bent or desire be destroyed in yourself and/or in someone else; that a lie you are believing that is contrary to Scripture be eradicated from your mind; that Truth be proclaimed to all those that do not know Christ, just to name a few…
David demonstrates praying with authority in the following verses…
Destroy, O Lord, divide their tongues;
for I see violence and strife in the city.
Day and night they go around it
on its walls,
and iniquity and trouble are within it;
ruin is in the midsts;
oppression and fraud
do not depart from its marketplace.
Psalm 55:9-11
When we pray with authority over that which is contrary to God, it will yield results.
Fourth Powerful Attitude in Prayer – Expectant
Going back to my “if” statements earlier in the post, I’m speaking for myself here, but too often I pray boldly and expectantly for others, but for myself, not so much…
Think back to when you were a child, when you needed something for comfort, for sustenance, for direction, you would ask your mother or father, and you expected that they would provide for what you needed, never doubting. Those things that were not frivolous or materialistic or selfish, but those things that would be of benefit to you and indeed were gladly given to you by your parents.
In the same attitude, we can come to our Heavenly Father in prayer, expecting that He will answer. He will not withhold any good thing from His children.
For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
The LORD gives grace and glory;
No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.
Psalm 84:11
David demonstrates this expectant attitude in prayer in the following verses…
But I call to God,
and the Lord will save me.
Evening and morning and at noon
I utter my complaint and moan,
and he hears my voice.
He redeems my soul in safety
from the battle that I wage,
for many are arrayed against me.
God will give ear and humble them,
he who is enthroned from of old, Selah
because they do not change
and do not fear God.
Psalm 55:16-19
Here we see the culmination of David’s prayer in Psalm 55 – the expectant attitude that ALL that He boldly, honestly, authoritatively and expectantly prays for WILL be answered.
