21 Days Of Breakthrough PrayerSample

Day 1: Gates and Treasures

Welcome to 21 Days of Breakthrough Prayer! This simple series will provide you with Scriptures to pray into for 21 days as you ask the Lord for your breakthrough.

During this series, I won't be expounding on each Scripture very much except through a bullet-point list to share some prayer pointers. But, even though the plan for each day is short, each of these Scriptures is POWERFUL!

Without further ado, let's begin!

The first Scripture verse of the day is Isaiah 45:1–3, which says:

"Thus says the Lord to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held—to subdue nations before him and loose the armor of kings, to open before him the double doors, so that the gates will not be shut:

‘I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the Lord, who call you by your name, am the God of Israel" (Isaiah 45:1-3 NKJV).

Pray along these points:

• Ask the Lord to help you sense Him holding your hand.


• Ask Him to help you sense His presence and affection.


• Ask Him to subdue nations before you; to give you nations for Jesus' sake.


• Ask Him to subdue all the forces of wickedness before you.


• Ask Him to open before you the double doors—doors that you didn't expect; doors that are DOUBLE in payment for all the closed doors you have encountered before.


• Ask Him to open all the gates for you that need to be opened, and to close the ones that need to be closed.


• Ask Him to go before you in all things, and to help you SEE Him going before you.


• Ask Him to make the crooked places straight in your life.


• Ask Him to release every blessing to you that has previously been held back from you.


• Ask Him to give you His treasures that have been hidden in darkness.


• Ask Him to release His riches to you that have previously been kept only in secret places.


• Ask Him to help you know that He, the Lord, calls you by your name. He knows and loves you personally. YOU, yes YOU, matter to Him.


• Ask Him to help you know Him as the God of Israel.

That's our breakthrough prayer for day 1!

Remember to use the verse itself as your vocabulary for prayer. Doing so will not only help you pray the most effective prayers it's possible to pray, but it will also help you hide God's Word in your heart, that you might not sin against Him (Psalm 119:11).

Also, if you are asking God to bring you justice from an unjust situation:

The most popular post on my website is a Scriptural prayer that asks God to reverse unjust situations. You can find it here, in Pray This Prayer to Reverse Unjust Situations.  If justice is the breakthrough you're looking for, this prayer will help you present God's promises about this specific area back to Him in prayer!
