Alpha and Omega Prayers

There’s basically 2 ways you can pray. You can just pray, or you can pray strategically. Here’s a prayer strategy that you can add to your prayer approach to make you more multifaceted and strategic in prayer. I’m calling it Alpha and Omega Prayers. Alpha is simply a Greek word for “the beginning,” and omega is a Greek word for “the ending.”

• Alpha prayers are designed to initiate something new in your life. “New” could be representative of a new season, a new mindset, a new focus, or a new impetus that God is leading you toward.
• Omega prayers are prayers that bring an end to something in your life. It could be the end of a season. There are some seasons that are unproductive and draining that you want to see come to an end. It could be a season of barrenness and unproductivity, or a season of stagnation. Omega prayers could be designed to bring an end to a belief system or a mindset. They can be targeted towards ending counterproductive lifestyle activities, and/or oppressive influences in your life.

Here’s some Alpha and Omega prayers to help launch you in adding this strategy to your prayer approach:

Alpha Prayer
Father, I pray for a new season in my life. A new season, where everything works in my favor. A new season of invincibility—where even my mistakes turn out to be successes. I pray for a new mindset, where I rid myself of procrastination and hesitation. I pray for a new focus that causes me to look at what You’re looking at, care about what You care about, love what You love, and hate what you hate. I pray for a new season, where my life is perfectly aligned with Your life. I pray for a new season of progress and success; of going forward and not going backwards. I declare that old things have passed away, and all things are made new.

Omega Prayer
Now Father, I pray some Omega prayers. I pray for an ending to this season of stagnation and barrenness. I pray for an end of this season of questions with no answers, problems with no solutions, and vision with no provision. I pray for an end to all of my counterproductive thoughts and actions. I pray for an end to every oppressive and opposing influence.

YOU ARE MY ALPHA AND OMEGA. I ASK YOU TO BE MY NEW BEGINNING, AND THE POWER BEHIND MY NECESSARY ENDINGS!

You Won’t Find “Change” If You’re Ok With “Staying The Same”

When you make consistent advancements in the way you think, live, and act, the next level will start to recognize you. The next level will not only recognize you, but it will begin speaking to you. Even more, it will make an invitation for you to come and live on it. The next level will start showing you that it has a place for you—it will show you that you are welcome in its world.

When you’re ready to see something different; something better; something higher—you will be able to see it even through the dark. When you are really ready to change, then change will pack its bags and start walking towards you. Change will begin to embrace you and encourage you to live in its world.

You see, when you are NOT ready to live on a certain level, nothing related to that level will even be on your radar. You won’t hear it when it talks of possibilities, nor see it when it makes a presentation of what could be.

When you ARE ready to move to a higher level, the higher level will ready itself for your entry. You will start to hear its voice and recognize its ways. It will show you pictures of yourself somewhere in your future doing something greater than you’re currently doing, or being someone greater than you’re currently being. It will give you a preview of the future movie of your life.

What you embrace “today” is what will show up in your “tomorrow.” Have you embraced that vision (that you have) of a greater you? Are you ready to walk out that picture that you have on the inside of a more focused you; an excuseless you; a consistent you; a creative you; a disciplined you; a responsible you? If you can see a picture of it “inside” of you, you can live it on the “outside.”

If you’re not looking to travel to a higher level, the airfare and plane tickets to the next level will never appear. When you decide that you’re not “staying,” then “going” will start to appear. “Going” will start to present to you your travel gear. “Going” will start to mentor you on what you need to do to get from your present into your destiny—from stagnation into momentum.

It’s not likely that you will “find” something that you haven’t decided to “seek.” You can’t be “sold” when you’re not looking to “buy.” You won’t find “change” if you’re ok with “staying the same.” If you are ready to refuse to stay the same a whole new world will open up to you.
