Recently, Brand posted a daily morning prayer on his X account that has been viewed by over 300,000 accounts, and the number is still growing. Commentators can be seen thanking Brand for his words, with some saying his faith has directed them to their own relationship with God.
Here is Brand’s daily prayer from Friday, Sept. 20:
Heavenly Father, we trust in Your promises, even when the wait feels long and the road seems uncertain. Lord, You are the God of victories, and we believe that our season of victory is drawing near. God, we lift up every problem and challenge that Your people are facing right now. We know that You see every struggle, every hardship and every tear. We ask for Your divine intervention in each of these situations, Lord. Please move powerfully in our lives and show us that even when we cannot see it, You are working behind the scenes to bring about change. We pray for restoration in every area of our lives, relationships, finances, health and spirit. Where there has been brokenness, bring healing. Where there has been loss, bring restoration. Where there has been pain, bring peace and renewal. Father, we trust that You are the restorer of what has been lost, and the healer of all wounds. Let Your restorative power touch every part of our lives, making us whole again. Lord, we also bring our financial needs before You. We know that You are our provider, and we ask for Your provision in our finances. Open doors of opportunity bless the work of our hands, and give us wisdom to manage the resources You have entrusted to us. Help us overcome any financial challenges and see Your miraculous provision in our lives. We also cry out for Your healing over our bodies and minds, whether it is physical pain, emotional distress or mental suffering. We believe that You are the great physician. We place our trust in Your healing power. Please restore our health, comfort us in our moments of pain and give us strength and hope as we wait for complete healing. Finally, we seek Your protection over us and our loved ones. Guard us from all harm and danger, Lord, and shield us from every attack of the enemy. Surround us with Your angels, and may Your hand of protection be upon us at all times. Father, we recognize that Your timing is perfect, and that Your ways are higher than ours. Even in the waiting, help us trust completely in You. Grant us the patience to persevere, the faith to keep believing and the courage to keep moving forward. We declare with confidence that our victory is on the way, and that You are working all things together for our good. Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers, and for all the work You are doing in our lives, even when we can’t see it. To You we give all the glory, honor and praise for the miracles that are on the way. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
Let us join Brand in prayer before the Lord Most High, not only for ourselves, but for our families, communities and nation. We can take comfort that our prayers will not fall on deaf ears, for Jesus tells us in Mark 11:24:
Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you will receive them, and you will have them.
