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!
