Divine speed is a necessity for life and if you can say these prayer points on divine speed with Bible verses you can get it.
It is not wrong to pray for speed.
Sometimes, you may have been delayed either by the devil’s agenda or even by your mistake.
If you can pray for it, God will do it for you.
This is why I have compiled a list of 10 powerful prayers for divine speed. Each of them are based on scriptures so that we are not praying amiss and I also want you to trust the Spirit of God to inspire you to pray right.
Prayer Points on Divine Speed with Bible Verses
I once taught about divine speed some 5 years ago and I still believe that one of the best Bible verses on divine speed has to be 1 Kings 18:46 which says “The power of the Lord came on Elijah and, tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab…”
The fact that Elijah just finished praying made me believe that prayers for divine speed are incredibly accurate.
Let us go over these prayers.
Father, please lay Your hands upon me like you did to Prophet Elijah. I ask that You cause me to outrun every setback and limitation that the enemy has placed on my life.
“The power of the Lord came on Elijah… and he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.” – 1 Kings 18:46
Like I said, this is one of the clearest examples of Bible verses on divine speed.
We see what can happen to a man when God’s hands rest on him. Elijah was made to outrun the chariots.
No chariot could go faster than that of Ahab – this was the presidential chariot of Israel and yet a man on foot ran ahead of it.
That is divine speed.
Lord, break every chain holding me back and deliver me from whatever is keeping me backwards in the name of Jesus
“Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.” – Psalm 124:7
Sometimes, you do not need speed.
You need to escape from what is holding you back.
Until that thing is broken, then you will not move. You can picture how it feels when a goat is tied to a pillar. They can be making motion but not progress and this is what happens when you have a snare around you.
So pray to break them.
Father, I ask that you help me recover all that I have lost and cause me to experience full restoration
“And David recovered all… and there was nothing lacking to them.” – 1 Samuel 30:18-19
One of the reasons why you should say these prayers for divine speed is not because you want to move forward in life but also for recovery and restoration.
When you have wasted time in the fulfilment of life and destiny, you need speed not because you want to go forward only but also because you want to compress time and make up for what’s lost.
That is what divine speed does for you – help you recover lost time by compressing the future for you.
Lord, give me the patience that I need to move out in speed. May I not be in an unnecessary haste
“Though it tarry… it will surely come, it will not tarry.” – Habakkuk 2:3
Sometimes, praying for divine speed begins with knowing that you are not anxious.
You see, God will not answer a prayer that comes from fleshy motivation.
If you begin to pray, God begins to speak to the heart and sometimes He could be saying just be patient. What I have for you may tarry that could be what God is saying to you.
At that point, you should not be saying prayers for divine speed but anchoring your faith in God and trusting Him for patience.
Make haste, O God. Come quickly and help me. I am tired of waiting, Lord
“Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Lord.” – Psalm 70:1
You can see that this is a prayer from the book of Psalm. God is not moved by emotionalism but from scriptures we see that a lot of people cried to God in their desperation and God came to their aid.
This is one of such cries.
I know of people and cases that have suffered retrogression for years. They are not where their energy should have taken them, they are not even where God wants them to be.
If you sense that, pray this prayer for divine speed like David did.
Father, make my feet like that of a deer. Lord, equip me to with what I need to engage speed and move forward
“He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; He causes me to stand on the heights.” – Psalm 18:33
From this Bible verse, we can see that the reason the deer can run even through terrible grounds is because of the design of its feet.
The feet of the deer makes it stand firm and to make progress.
For you, there are things that God may need to do in you, teach you, reveal to you that will equip you for speed.
It could be deliverance from a mentality that is keeping you caged, it could be teaching you to stop comparing yourself to others, ridding you from appetites that will crush you when you come to the place of your destiny, and so on.
That is why this prayer is special.
Lord, restore the years I lost. Let divine speed compress every wasted season into this new one
“I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten…” – Joel 2:25
This gets me so emotional everytime.
It is a blessing to have such a level of restoration and I do not fail to tell people to say this prayer.
God can restore years.
If it was supposed to take you the last 10 years of your life and you lost it – either from your own doing or from the devil’s onslaught – God can compress those 10 years into the next 10 months and place you right on track.
Isn’t that beautiful?
It is for me one of the best prayer points for divine speed with Bible verses.
