DAILY PRAYERS FOR GUYS

To Live in the Confidence of the Resurrection

Victorious Savior,
By your resurrection, you solidified and secured all that was necessary for our salvation. We are free from Satan’s slavery, from sin’s condemnation, and from death’s eternal claim on us. You are victorious, and through faith in you, that victory is also ours. 

We are not longer among the spiritually walking dead, but having been raised with you, are victorious and alive. Let your resurrection give us a spiritual swagger that allows us to live boldly in confidence. Steer us away from claims or feelings of victimhood or pity when we forget who we are in you. Instead, make us eager to be the salt and light you have made us to be in this world. Let us not shy away from conversations or behavior that would celebrate you, but embrace all such opportunities to exude the confidence we have as victors through the Resurrection.  

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. 

PRAYERS FOR GUYS

To Overcome My Victim Mentality

Lord God,
It is so easy for me to play the role of victim. I relish any opportunity to throw myself a pity party and dwell on how unfair my life is. It’s so clear to me how much better off everyone else is. Whenever I see disparity, I am always on the side that is lacking or losing. My misery thrives when others validate how often I draw the short straw in life.  

Like the apostle Paul, what a wretched man I am! Shame on me! Forgive me for thinking so little of your promise that all who are in you overcome the world. There is no place for victims in the kingdom of the Victor. Free me from foolish thoughts of victimhood, surround me with others who care enough to call me out on it whenever I slip back into it, and restore to me the joy of my salvation.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
