Prayer- Let Him Be The Potter
Surrendering To The Divine Craftsman, The Potter
Heavenly Father, the Great Potter who shapes us with loving hands, I come before You in a posture of surrender and humility. In the knowledge of Your sovereignty and grace, I offer myself as clay in Your hands.
Mold me according to Your will, Lord. Let Your hands craft my being, my purpose, and my path according to Your divine design.
In this moment of submission, I acknowledge that You see beyond what I can see, understanding the masterpiece You intend me to become. Break me down and build me up according to Your perfect plan, removing the impurities that mar Your image within me.
Isaiah 64:8 But now, O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand.
Jeremiah 18:3-4 So I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was working at his wheel. And the vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter’s hand, and he reworked it into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to do.
Transformation And Renewal
As You shape me, O God, instill in me the virtues that reflect Your character—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Through the pressures and the molding, may I emerge stronger, more resilient, and more aligned with Your purposes. Transform my heart and renew my mind, that I may walk in obedience and faithfulness, displaying Your glory and love to the world.
In the spinning and shaping, help me to remain centered on You, trusting in Your craftsmanship, even when the process is uncomfortable or painful. Grant me the grace to endure, knowing that the outcome will be a vessel fit for Your use.
Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Prayer for Purpose and Service
Lord, as You mold me into Your image, reveal to me the purpose for which I was created. Illuminate the gifts and talents You have placed within me, and show me how to use them for Your kingdom.
May my life serve as a vessel for Your love and grace, bringing light to those in darkness, hope to the despairing, and comfort to the brokenhearted.
Equip me to serve You with humility and strength, always mindful that it is through Your power at work within me that I can accomplish anything of lasting value. Let my hands be Your hands, my feet Your feet, and my voice an echo of Your words of life and truth.
Almighty God, thank You for molding and shaping me into the person You created me to be. I continue to press forward and look to You for my direction as You are my God and in You, I trust. You, oh Lord, are glorified in everything I do. Cleanse my heart, Father, of everything that is not of You and use me for Your purpose.
Thank You also for the situations You have brought me out from; situations which have caused me pain and frustration but made me stronger in the end. Each day I live, Lord, I pray that Your Holy Spirit will guide my path. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
