Prayer Guide 12/17/23

“My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations...”

Heavenly Father, we give you thanks for this day to come into your presence, to lift our songs of praise to you, to hear your word spoken over us, and to bring to you both our gifts and our burdens.

Lord, we have strayed from you this past week. We have sinned in thought, word, and deed. We have not love you with our whole heart, and we have not loved our neighbor as our self. We repent, O Lord, of all our sins. We especially repent of the sins that you are bringing to our mind right now: _________________. As your word declares, 1 Peter 2:24 “He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.” We receive your forgiveness. Lord, hear our prayer.

Yes, Lord, amen.

Father, pray this morning for all those who are separated from you. Those who have listened to the lies of the enemy. Lord, we lift the names of those we love who need your mercy: ___________. Lord, hear our prayer.

Yes, Lord, amen.

And we pray, Lord, that you would make us your faithful witnesses of your power to transform lives. Give us boldness, Father, to share our testimony with others, to take risks to pray for healing, to be active participants in your coming kingdom. Spirit, we pray for revival to come to our church, our city, and our land. Lord, hear our prayer.

Yes, Lord, amen.

We prayer for those in our church and family who are suffering trials and tribulations, sickness, and injury. Lord, bring deliverance by your mighty hand. We pray this morning especially for those we carry in our hearts: _________________. Lord, hear our prayer.

Yes, Lord, amen.

Ephesians 3:20–21 “Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”
