THE FEAST OF INGATHERING (part 2)
*Deuteronomy 16:13-15*
Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:
– And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.
– Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.

I DECREE and DECLARE
My Dear Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart humbled by Your love and filled with gratitude for Your faithfulness. Thank You for being my guide, my provider, and my refuge through every season of life. As I lift these prayers to You, I ask that Your Spirit fill me with wisdom, peace, and a deeper understanding of Your Will. Open my heart to receive Your guidance and empower me to trust in Your promises, even in the midst of uncertainty. May these moments of communion with You bring renewal to my spirit, strength to my soul, and clarity to my path. Lord, I dedicate this time to You, trusting that You hear me and will answer according to Your perfect plan.
In the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
1) Prayer for Joyful Celebration of God’s Blessings
Heavenly Father, I lift my heart to You in joyful praise and thanksgiving for the countless blessings You have poured into my life. You are my provider and sustainer, the One who brings me through every season. Even in times of difficulty and uncertainty, You remain faithful and good. Teach me, Lord, to rejoice not only in the visible blessings but also in the unseen ways You work in my life. Let my joy overflow as a witness to Your greatness, showing others the peace and contentment found in You. Father, fill my heart with gratitude that turns into songs of praise and a spirit of celebration that reflects Your abundant love. May my life radiate the joy of Your presence and inspire those around me to seek and celebrate You as well.
In the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
2) Prayer for Spiritual Growth and Fruitfulness
Gracious Lord, I come before You with a desire to grow in Your likeness and to bear spiritual fruit that glorifies You. Just as the Feast of Ingathering celebrated a bountiful harvest, I ask that You cultivate within me a harvest of righteousness. Plant the seeds of Your Spirit deep within my heart and nurture them with Your Word and presence. Grow in me love that reflects Your grace, joy that sustains me through trials, and peace that surpasses all understanding. Lord, teach me patience and kindness in my relationships, faithfulness in my walk with You, and self-control in all I do. May my life be a fruitful vine, blessing others with Your goodness and pointing them to Your Kingdom. Let every word, thought, and action I produce honour You and serve as a light in this world. I surrender myself to Your hands, trusting that You, the Master Gardener, will make me fruitful for Your glory.
In the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
3) Prayer for God’s Guidance Through Wilderness Seasons
Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart seeking Your guidance and strength. Just as You led the Israelites through the wilderness with a pillar of cloud by day and fire by night, I ask You to guide me through the challenging and uncertain seasons of my life. When the path before me seems unclear or overwhelming, remind me that You are always near, leading me with Your loving hand.
Lord, help me to trust in Your timing and provision, even when I feel lost or weary. Just as You provided manna for the Israelites each day, I know You will provide exactly what I need at the right time. Teach me to rely on You fully, laying aside my fears and doubts, and to walk in faith, knowing that You are my shepherd and protector.
Strengthen me, Father, to persevere through every trial and to remain steadfast in my trust. Let me draw courage from the knowledge that You never leave or forsake me. May Your Word be a lamp to my feet and a light to my path, giving me direction when the way seems dark.
Through every wilderness season, refine my heart, deepen my faith, and draw me closer to You. Let my journey become a testimony of Your faithfulness and a beacon of hope to others who may be walking a similar path. I place my life in Your hands, trusting that You will lead me safely to the promises You have prepared for me.
In the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
In Closing
Heavenly Father, I thank You for this precious time spent in Your presence, lifting my heart and prayers to You. Thank You for hearing me and for the assurance that You are working in my life, even beyond what I can see or understand. As I close these prayers, I ask for Your continued guidance, strength, and peace to fill my days.
Help me to walk in faith, trusting in Your provision, rejoicing in Your blessings, and relying on Your Spirit to sustain me through every challenge. Let Your Word remain a lamp to my feet and a light to my path, and may Your love be evident in all I do.
Lord, as I rise from this place of prayer, I carry the confidence that You are with me, leading me forward into Your promises. May my life reflect Your glory and bring hope and encouragement to others. Thank You for Your unchanging faithfulness and for the joy of being in Your presence. I pray all this in the name of Jesus Christ, my Saviour and King. Amen.
I cover all my prayers and my declarations and my decrees and my commands and my supplications and my petitions and my confessions and my thanksgiving by the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ for absolute performance.
TODAY’S PROPHECY
Thus Saith the Lord,
1) “My child, why do you hold onto regret? Don’t you see that it only weighs you down and keeps you from embracing the life I have planned for you? Regret is nothing but wasted thought, a distraction from the hope and future I have promised you. I am not dwelling on your past mistakes, and neither should you.
Instead, bring your regrets to Me. Let Me turn them into lessons and stepping stones for your growth. Trust that I can use even your failures for good. Focus on today, for it is a gift I have given you to live fully and walk in My purpose. You cannot change what is behind you, but together, we can shape what is ahead. Release your burdens and rest in My love. I am always with you, ready to guide you into a brighter future. Trust Me, and let go.”
