Rosh Hashanah — Prayer of Awakening, Repentance, and Kingdom Expansion

1. Thanksgiving and Praise

Avinu Malkeinu, my Father and my King,

I lift my heart to You on this sacred day of Rosh Hashanah, the Feast of Trumpets. HaShem, You are my Creator, my Sustainer, and the One who holds all the heavens and the earth in Your hands. “The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad!” (Psalm 97:1). I praise You for Your steadfast love, Your faithfulness, and Your mercy that endures forever.

Father, I thank You for Yeshua, my Messiah, the Living Word, through whom all things were created and through whom my life is redeemed. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). I rejoice that He is my Redeemer, my Shepherd, and my Deliverer.

Abba, I thank You for the shofar, for its sound that awakens hearts, for its call to holiness, and for the reminder that You are sovereign over all time and seasons. Let my life echo the sound of the shofar, proclaiming Your glory and the coming of Your Kingdom.

2. Confession and Repentance

HaShem, I acknowledge my sins, my failures, and the times I have neglected Your Word and Your ways. “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10). I repent of pride, fear, laziness, and every thought or action that has dishonored You.

Father, cover me under the shield of Yeshua’s blood. “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29). Wash me, cleanse me, and protect me from accusation and condemnation. May His blood sanctify me, purify my spirit, and empower me to live fully for Your glory.

Ignite the fire of God within me, HaShem. Let Your refining flame burn away all impurity, selfish ambition, and anything that hinders me from walking in obedience. “For I, declares the LORD, will be a wall of fire around her, and I will be the glory within her” (Zechariah 2:5). Purge my heart and renew my devotion to You.

3. Kingdom Intercession

Abba, I pray for Your Kingdom to expand through Yeshua. “This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations, and then the end will come” (Matthew 24:14). Let Your Word go forth with power, bringing salvation, healing, and deliverance to those who seek You.

Father, I lift Israel to You. Open the eyes of Your people to recognize Yeshua as Messiah. “I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy” (Joel 2:28). Awaken the hearts of Your covenant people, that Your glory would dwell in Jerusalem and flow outward to all nations.

I also intercede for the nations. Let the light of Yeshua shine into the darkness of every land. “The LORD will be King over all the earth; on that day the LORD will be one and His Name one” (Zechariah 14:9). Let rivers of living water flow through Your people (John 7:37–38), bringing life, hope, and restoration to the world.

4. Personal Consecration for the Coming Year

Father, I consecrate this new year to You. Let it be a year of awakening, holiness, and fruitful labor for Your Kingdom. Let the fire of Your Spirit empower me to speak courageously, love faithfully, and act righteously.

HaShem, guide my steps, guard my heart, and strengthen my hands to serve You with joy. “Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will act” (Psalm 37:5). May every thought, word, and action in this year bring honor to Your Name.

I pray for spiritual vigilance, that I may remain alert and faithful, as Yeshua commanded: “Watch therefore, for you do not know the day nor the hour” (Matthew 25:13). Let my life proclaim Your glory and bear fruit for Your Kingdom.

5. Closing Declaration

Abba, I commit this year, my life, and my witness to You. May Your Name be glorified in Israel, in the nations, and in my life. Let the shield of Yeshua’s blood protect me, the fire of Your Spirit refine me, and Your glory shine through me at all times.

Father, awaken Your people, expand Your Kingdom, and let Your righteousness and mercy be established forever. I pray all of this in the powerful Name of Yeshua HaMashiach, my Lord and Messiah.

B’shem Yeshua HaMashiach — Amen.
