Prayer for God's Presence | This Prayer Changed the Atmosphere | Shaniqua Smith

Have you ever walked into a room and felt the weight of fear, anxiety, discouragement, or spiritual heaviness?

Sometimes what changes the atmosphere isn't louder music, more words, or another message. It's the presence of God.

This prayer is for anyone longing to experience God's presence in a deeper way. Whether you're seeking peace in your home, strength in a difficult season, healing for your heart, clarity for your mind, or simply a quiet place to meet with the Lord, this time of prayer is an invitation to slow down and welcome Him into every part of your life.

As we pray together, we'll invite the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts, renew our minds, calm our fears, and remind us that God is near to those who call on Him.

You don't have to strive for His presence.

You don't have to perform for His presence.

Simply come with an open heart.

Let's pray together and make room for God to move.

Hallelujah. Let's worship the Lord together. Um, this isn't perfect worship, but it is the time to be before the presence of the Lord. We're thankful and grateful to be here. I'm thankful to be amongst you. And I pray that this moment brings you a little closer to the Lord. I pray that this moment in prayer opens up something inside of you. Maybe you felt like you didn't know how to pray or that the Lord was not hearing your prayer. But I'm here to tell you that He does. God loves you, God sees you, and it doesn't matter how your worship is, like it doesn't matter if you're by yourself or you're amongst other people, whether you have music or just in the stillness and quiet of your home, God definitely sees you. So, Father God, we thank you. We thank you for your covering. We thank you for your love. We thank you for so being so good and so wonderful to us. The moments we feel like we want to give up and we don't know what to do next. Lord, for the one who is battling so much right now, and you have some tough decisions to make. God is right there through every doctor's visit. God is right there through every moment, every news you've gotten, God is there. So I just want you to take this moment to be with God, to close your eyes and to just bask in his presence. Tell God how grateful you are. No matter if you're not going through any sickness in your body, but it's so many different things that we battle and we face each day. So many things that we have to be grateful for, so many issues that come about. A lot of it was unexpected. Maybe you lost your house, lost your job. Maybe you're in the search for a new place to live, and maybe someone passed away in your life. But no matter what it is, I want you to know that God is right there with you. Because do you know that we we serve an all-knowing God? He knew these moments would come before they came. But it's up to us to entrust our life to him. So, Father God, we we give you our all. We give you the burdens, the trials, the test. We give each and everything over to you, God, asking for you to carry it, God. We know through the scripts of Jesus that we are healed. Everything that Jesus suffered on the cross was for us to have a better life, was for us to have a chance at a new life whenever we're no longer here on this earth. So, Father God, we pray that everything we're going through, we give it over to you so that we can walk in love and in light, that we don't stress the things that's going on in our life because we know that you are a help, a very present help in our time of trouble. May you remember those words. God is right there, just waiting for you to reach out, waiting for you to say, Father God, I have tried, and I just cannot do it. I can't do it without your help, and he'll come. Victory is yours. There is hope in tomorrow. Better is coming, better is on the horizon. Can you feel it? Better is coming, better is here. So I say, what do you hear? Do you feel the voice of triumph? Do you feel the angels of the Lord surrounding you, covering you? They're worshiping our God, hallelujah, to the highest praise. Just see the angels of the Lord surrounding you wherever you are right now. So lift up your voice. Hallelujah. Hallelujah, God, hallelujah. Yes, glory, glory, glory. What do you want to say to God? What do you tell God all about everything going on in your life? Say God, I've been struggling. God, I've been dealing with this. God, I cannot let this go. God, this has hurt me. God, this has gotten me. God, I just want to be free. Freedom is yours, says the Lord. Freedom is yours. Do you want to be free? Freedom comes with letting things go. Freedom comes with giving things over to God. Freedom comes when you release the captivity of your mind. You say, God, I want to be free. Take these thoughts. Take this pain. Take it from me, God. And He'll do it just for you. Glory to the Lamb. Do you know the things that you're battling isn't too hard for God? Just think about everything that you laid on your heart. Everything someone's done to you, someone said about you. Every pain that came with age. Different seasons of your life has different heartache. But do you know in a moment's time God can take it? And that is why we're here. We're here all on one accord, believing and trusting that whatever you're dealing with, what you're dealing with may not be the next, but I'm here to speak to you. And I want you to believe during this moment of prayer, during this moment of stillness with God, that through your supplication, through your worship and your time with God, God is taking it off. Yes, he's taking it off. You gotta believe it. You gotta believe that each thing, each layer is coming off, is pulling out of you, is coming out. Hallelujah. No longer will you be able to carry these things. You will have no choice but to release them to God. Hey, hallelujah. Be free, be free, be free, be free, be free, be free. In the name of Jesus, be free, be free, be free, be free, be free. In the name of Jesus. Yes, what do you hear? Hallelujah. As we rendered.

I surrender to you. Oh God surrender to you.

SPEAKER_01 11:38

Yes, surrender all to God, surrender everything. Cause what will it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul? You can have everything in this life, but if the life that matters isn't your top priority, a life to be with God in heaven forever, what would we have lived for? So, God, may we be pleasing in your sight, Lord. May you find us worthy. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. We have to seek the kingdom of God first. Lay aside every weight and believe and trust. Trust and trust that God knows. Believe in Him. Believe that God is going to do exactly what He said He would do. Remember that God is not man, that He shall lie. Whatever God says He's going to do for you, He's going to do it. So let's believe and trust God together. Let's love Him even more and know that everything is going to be okay. Everything is going to work out. We shall not worry. We shall not stress. Because God is living, God. Yes, He is. Yes, He is. Yes, He is. So thank you, God. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord, for this moment. Thank you, Lord, for us being together. And thank you, Lord, for just sitting in His presence. Thank you.
