Savior of all who call upon your name . . .
King of kings and
Lord of lords.
We ask Lord that you would continue to fill us with your Spirit so that we can boldly proclaim your gospel as
Peter does in his sermon in Acts.
Give us wisdom and understanding so that we can share the hope we have
with those who are lost.
Spirit we ask that you would move us to repentance in the areas that we may have neglected to turn from in our
lives.
Expose areas of sin and remove them by your sanctifying power.
Lord, we ask that you would continue calling your people in our towns and cities, neighborhoods and houses.
Place us in the path of non-believers so that we can proclaim your excellencies.
Lord, continue to transform our lives so that we look more and more like you.
In Jesus name, Amen.
