I made a commitment to the Lord to pray instant prayers through out the day and in doing so, my mind is stayed on Him. Let my prayer life Lord, continually be in my mouth and flowing from within, as your spirit worketh within me as a fountain of living water. May short prayers add up and not be long prayers without meaning as the scribes and Pharisees prayed while they walked around in their long robes and clothing, dishonoring you. Let them be power packed by your anointing in my life. Let each prayer be straight to the point and to the heart of my God. May each prayer produce fruit.

I wash my daily dishes with a song and a prayer within my heart as the Lord’s spirit moves upon me. I pray and thank God for all the good food and abundance of many good things within my cupboards that He has provided. All these dirty dishes, pots and pans, held wonderful food on them only moments before, now being a nourishment to our bodies. Thank you God for the utensils to eat with and cut things into bite size pieces. I thank you for giving me hands to place the food within my mouth and prepare the food. I thank you for allowing me to fold my hands in instant prayer for all you have provided. Thank You as you gave me the knowledge to prepare the food. You gave me the stove to cook the food. You gave me the water to wash these dishes that are getting old from the use of serving many mouths over the years, but more precious to my children as they come home and eat from them. Once more a meal of abundance you have provided for us, restoring happy memories of their childhood. I tell you God, I am so blessed as I serve my husband and family. Thank you for the all that you have provided within my little kitchen. Love of You is within every nook and cranny, as your spirit permeates this room you have provided for gatherings and hospitality.

Laundry is next on my agenda. Thank you God for clothing us so generously. Thank you for the soap and the water to make things clean and fresh for my family. Thank you for the electric dryer and the sunshine when I hang clothes on the line. Thank you for my iron and ironing board that makes things look new and without wrinkle. God you clothe me well and I thank you for every garment and how you keep me comfortable from day to day with warmth.

Cleaning my house has become a joy, an instant prayer, I thank you for all things that you have provided out of your rich treasures for me from day to day. I am learning to count my blessings with every job, every duty, every opportunity that I can praise you. Praise will continually be in my mouth. Praise shall come forth as if a water fall is gushing up from within me, flowing over to those around me.

When I sing, it will be from my heart and not mere words floating through space to be heard by those around me, but with praise will I sing. With joy I will sing unto the Lord for a new day is before me to honor you Father. Yesterday is completed and today is revered to you in all I say, think, and do. Be continually at my side, be within my spirit, move my feet to the position that pleases you. Let my mouth speak only your thoughts, let my prayers come up before you as a memorial of how much I love you God. I will

pray instant prayers throughout the day for the anointing of the Lord to cover me, asking His spirit to flow as a well without a bottom. Oh God, let it bubble up and cause a river of life to set my feet a dancing.

Lord let me not take any prayer requests lightly that my fellow man brings to me. I will instantly seek, knock, and find You as my door, as you open to honor my requests. May I feel your acceptance as I boldly come before your throne in instant prayers that will continually feel my mouth. May I believe and always help my unbelief that may enter in, into your presence. I would be literally heart broken to hear your Holy Spirit speak to me and say away with your prayers, away with your songs if my heart was not right in your sight.

A powerful tool, instant prayers, blocking the enemy from getting a foot hold over every situation that comes at me from moment to moment. Let my heart fill with joy when it is sad, as prayer brings the victory. I know that my father and mother are no longer with me here on earth. I can not talk to them and converse with them, everything on my mind or what my heart feels when it is full of joy or saddened. But instantly, I will tell you all my concerns and doubts. Instantly your presence is felt. Instantly you are with me. Instantly you give me peace and joy. Instantly we are one as your spirit is bound with mine. Instantly I am caught up in your spirit. Instantly all is well. Instantly trust comes, when God is in control. Let me be on my guard when the enemy comes to take all things that he can from me. I will fight back with your word as my weapon against the darts that he throws at me.

When I am called on to pray, I find it an honor to honor you. It is all about you, and not what I can do in prayer. When I pray I will be sincere and with much faith. I will immediately be caught up in your spirit to free my spirit from the heavy burden that has been placed on me in a requested prayer. I must pray, I must step back and watch what you will do and praise you for your good judgment in all situations, even before you answer. I will not try to manipulate you into doing it my way. It must always be your way for all those whom love you. I ask, I wait, I thank you that my answer is on the way. I praise you for the way you answer, even though I do not understand at the moment. You show me years, days, months later, or even in eternity why and how you were at work for good in those whom you love and the reason for how my prayer was answered. May I realize how powerful and what authority that you possess over every situation. You only desire my faith and trust in you over every thing that concerns me or those you send to me asking for prayer. It was no accident that someone asks me for prayer. It will be an accident if I pray cowardly, untrusting, or lightly of the situation that was presented to me, causing many blessings to be stilled over my behavior or carelessness. Instant prayer sets in motion the blessings that flow from your throne room. I see you with my spiritual eyes stand up and take notice as you present it to God on my behalf. Father is one of ours, you speak so sweetly. I then hear you with my spiritual ears as you sit down and say, “May it be unto you, according to your faith.” I go away in complete assurance as I instantly praise and thank you for the answer that is on the way. You heard me before I even asked, my dear heavenly father. You answered me while the request was still within my mouth. I will continue from moment to moment, day to day, and year to year in instant little prayers that glorify you and please you. I am coming to you, one on one, God.

Let me pray short prayers as I study your word, as I listen to your word on a bible tape. When I am unable to utter a word, and my spirit is groaning within me, you know exactly what I seek, need, and will provide, according to my faith in you. May I never forget where you sit, and where I sit, I feel that it is within your presence, Father. I can be all things in you. I wait for you to work your power and spirit within me for your glory.

Thank you God for your spirit, your anointing, your presence, your love and most of all for praying all night for me before you went to the cross and died for my many sins. I know you tell me to take heed when I think every thing is all right within me. You are continuously working a work within me, to your perfection. Let me know where I am lacking. I know that instantaneously prayers were on your lips as you sweat drops of blood within the garden for me. All for me and the whole world. Instant prayer I will pray to you My Father, many may be agonizing, praising, or interceding on some else’s behalf to you. All prayers will come directly from my mouth, that comes from within my being, you knowing what the state of my soul is at the time. Let all be well, I pray instantly as I seek your face. Let my mouth speak, Come Lord Jesus, come quickly. Short prayers that glorify your name, Jesus. Help me, I pray. Save me. Dwell within me. Love me. Bless me. Honor me with your glory. I wait. I will listen. Fill me with your spirit. Power packed instant prayers to God.
