Devotional Prayers for September 2025

  Praying the Promise: 

      Truly, truly I say to you, he who believes has eternal life—John 6:47 (NIV)

Jesus, You’re a Man of Your Word! You are the living Word! What You say carries weight. Whatever you declare will come to be. In fact, before you speak it, it is already in the works.  

Jesus, from beginning to end, Genesis to Revelation the Bible contains numerous verses that use the phrase “truly, truly, or surely, surely” to emphasize the truth and certainty of God’s promises and declarations. 

Whenever I come across the words “surely, surely” or, “truly, truly” in the Scriptures I know what You have stated is a sound promise or declaration. It is not like shifting shadows or sand. Your Word is like concrete and harder than that. Like flint and harder than that. It is based upon eternity and even greater than that!  

Thank You, Lord, for being a Man of Your Word; for being the Living Word that we can rely upon. It’s greater than money in the bank!  Thank all the riches I the world multiplied.

With my heart of faith, I trust Your promises without hesitation or second thought, but with my flesh, I doubt I struggle, I want proof, I don’t trust You completely, I want You to back up what You say and declare. But You are a Man of Your Word! You are not given to lying like humans and You do not take the promises You make to humans or speak into the universe, lightly.

The promises of the Bible bless me, Lord. Your Word blesses me, Lord! It fills me with new hope and encourages my heart! 

Like the leaves that fall from the trees during the Fall months, may all my doubts, apprehensions, and fears fall away from me. Let them evaporate with the steady fall rains or blow away with the fall breezes.  Refresh and renew me, O Jesus. Grant me a fresh faith in Your Word, firm it up so I do not doubt or disbelieve. Whatever You have promised in Your Word may I believe it, always remembering You are a Man of Your Word; you are the Living Word! Amen                  

  Praying the Promise: 

He who was seated on the throne said, ‘I am making everything new!’ Then he said, ‘Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.’”—Revelation 21:5

Dear God, September is a month of transition and a month for reflection. Just as the leaves are changing colors and nature takes on a new vibrancy, distinct from every other season, our prayers can do the same. 

During September we may be looking forward to new beginnings but also spiritual renewal. September is a perfect month for spiritual renewal and reaffirming our personal commitment to serve you and those around us. 

As I pray during September help me focus on those places in my life that need renewal. May I always remember that You are always guiding and strengthening me. As I have changes in my life, help me to navigate those changes as part of life and not see change as an enemy. Even the Scriptures teach us everything must change; nothing stays the same: the young become the old, people change, mysteries unfold, even the skies above us change. Help us except change as a natural, needful part of life.  

I will use September as a natural time to remind myself that You love me, that you are with me through every change and every season: both good and bad, the bitter and the sweet, and that You have promised to hear me when I pray. Even when my answers or solutions have not arrived, may I always be mindful and trusting, that my prayers are not falling on deaf ears; You are always listening. 

Jesus, I want to live with power and faith. May my faith be renewed and strengthened during September, and may I have a fresh outpouring of power from heaven to execute those things I’ve been afraid to address or felt too weak to do.  I sense this is going to be a great month for praying and being productive in my life. Amen         

  Praying the Promise: 

  Those who work their land have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies have no sense—Proverbs 12:11 (NIV) 

Heavenly Father, we come before You in humble reverence, acknowledging Your sovereignty and wisdom over all aspects of our lives. We pray for the spirit of diligence to fill our hearts and minds, teaching us the importance of work and responsibility. Help us to remember that work is not merely a means of survival but an opportunity to glorify You through our efforts. May we strive to do our best so every task we undertake, whether it is our jobs, serving others, or simply managing our households honor and glorify You and may we resist chasing fantasies which have no firm foundation or sense. 

May we continually seek Your guidance and wisdom in all that we do. Help us to understand the meaning and importance of honest work in Your eyes. Because no job is too little, or too insignificant to perform, may we always approach the work we do-wherever it is—with integrity. And may we always work as if performing our job for You.

On this Labor Day when many use the day for relaxing, gathering together, or getting work done around their own home, may we remember those who have fought to make sure there are fair labor laws, workers’ rights, fair wages, paid vacations and sick time. May we support their efforts and continue to fight for the rights of those who labor, so the work they have done will not be in vain.

 Thank You for work, Lord. Through our labor we can provide for our life’s needs, serve others, and glorify You. Keep me from chasing fantasies which will always deplete my resources and drain my pockets and help me to always be clear about the work I am meant to perform, perform it with integrity, and experience provision and prosperity. Amen         

Fall can be a great month for praying. The changing of seasons from summer to fall can be like a breath of fresh air for our prayer life. The cooler temps can be great for adding "Prayer walks" into our daily routine and prayer practices. Those who are naturally inspired by nature may love incorporating the various colored leaves or fall flower such as hardy Mums into their prayer environment. September is a great time to do more praying for children as they return to school and their studies. We might decide to add teachers of all ages and grades to our prayer list. Praying through the month of September can be spiritually invigorating. It's a great time to gather others who love to pray!
