Life’s challenges and distractions often cause us to lose sight of the dreams and visions God has placed in our hearts. These forgotten dreams may have been buried under disappointment, fear, or the busyness of life. Yet, God is a restorer of dreams and a giver of new beginnings.
Joel 2:25-26 (NIV) reassures us, “I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten… You will have plenty to eat, until you are full, and you will praise the name of the Lord your God.”
God has not forgotten the desires He planted in you. He is faithful to reignite those dreams and bring them to fruition in His perfect time. Praying for forgotten dreams is an act of faith, trusting God to breathe life into those dormant hopes and rekindle your passion and purpose.
Join this heartfelt prayer to rediscover and revive the God-given dreams that have been forgotten, trusting in His power to fulfill them.

“I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten” (Joel 2:25, NIV).
Father, I pray for the courage to dream again. Breathe new life into the hopes and visions that have been buried by fear, doubt, or disappointment. Remove every barrier that has hindered me from pursuing the plans You have for me.
Lord, ignite a fresh fire within me to pursue the dreams You’ve ordained for my life. Grant me clarity and wisdom to take the necessary steps forward. Open doors of opportunity, align me with the right people, and provide the resources I need to fulfill Your purpose.
Thank You for being a God of restoration and second chances. I trust in Your timing and sovereignty, believing that what You have started in me, You will bring to completion. Let my life be a testimony of Your faithfulness and goodness.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
