Mayday is a distress radio signal that is repeated three times. From the research I could find, it came from the French word, m’aides, and means, “Help me!” When a close friend of ours requested prayer for yet another relative, I found myself composing a prayer that I want to share with you. Maybe you are not staring down the barrel of a crisis or treading water in a situation that seems to have no end, but you might know someone who is. If so, this could be the prayer for us to pray in the coming week.
LORD, this is the day that You have made, and we will rejoice and be glad in it. We joy today in Your salvation, the salvation of the whole man — body, soul, and spirit. Sickness, disease, poverty, discord — these things are not of You. We rebuke them in Jesus’ name.
Moreover, we rebuke the fear that holds us captive to the enemy’s wiles. We slam shut the door to it and declare today that by Your stripes we are healed, by Your stripes we were healed; we are the head and not the tail; the fruits of the Spirit grow in us. I speak a refreshing of hope and stability of faith and trust in You to move like a tidal wave into our homes. Let Your words, no doctor prognosis, no bank statements, no condemning words from others, be our guides. You are our saving strength.
We trust that as we humbly commit our affairs to You, that You are working Your best on our behalf. There is such a thing as being stolen from, though. Where the thief has come into play, we speak 7 times restitution and better than we could ever imagine answers to our prayers — gifts that fulfill the desires of our hearts.
Like Joseph, may the things that the devil means to harm, turn into good. May our tests become bondage breaking testimonies that bring life and salvation to all who hear it, especially to the unsaved, especially to our unsaved family. Set them free from the enemy’s grip. Loose them to find You and serve You and LIVE.
We no longer want to mourn and weep over what is happening, but we rather choose to sing and dance over what has already happened. You came to set the captive free. We are free. We fight from the place of victory. Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. Let our problems become the pulpits from which we preach the Gospel.
Hallelujah! God inhabits the praises of His people. We reflect Your glory now. We bring the sacrifice of praise and offer it to You in advance as we envision Your deliverance. We celebrate the victory provided for us through Christ alone. Praise the LORD!
I hope that you have joined me in this Mayday prayer and that you soon experience a refreshing and sweet fulfillment of the promises that you hold dear.
