Prayer Prompts From The Congregation

 

Following is the congregational prayer offering from Russ & Mary Nieman from Sunday morning, July 10. May it encourage your prayer time this week.

Heavenly Father, we thank You for your many precious promises and for the positional truths we have in Christ:

1. We thank You that Christ’s person and work fulfilled the Law and the Prophets. Help us live in the Spirit of the Law.

2. We thank You that You dwell with the contrite and lowly of spirit in order to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite. Break us, oh Lord!

3. We thank You that the dominion of sin has been broken, and thank You that You are more willing to give us victory than we are to seek You for it. Increase & satisfy our desire!

4. We thank You that in Christ the Holy Spirit defeats the law of sin and death. We thank You that You are more willing to fill us than we are to persistently seek, knock, and ask. Immerse us in your fire and Holy Spirit and lead us into the land of wholehearted devotion.

5. We thank You that You cause all things to work together for our good. Open our hearts to receive the full revelation of this truth, that in all things we would have the joy of the Lord.

6. We thank You that you desire more to have us know “the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge that we may be filled up to all the fullness of God”. Open us to this truth that we may be full.

7. We thank You that you are a God of reconciliation and that you desire your church to be reconciled to God in all things. Bring this needed healing, oh Lord!

8. We thank You that in Christ is perfect peace and perfect justice. But our world does not have this hope. Let us as image bearers be the sweet aroma of Christ in this country. Lord, use us to spread the gospel of hope to a culture succumbing to hate. May Your message of mercy be proclaimed loudly in our country, and may Your name be hallowed through us vessels.

9. We thank You that You are I AM, a God who desires to be known. May we be faithful workers of the harvest, sharing and living the gospel to an unbelieving world. Help us to encourage one another, as iron sharpens iron.

10. We thank You that Christ is a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief, rejection, and suffering. Lord, draw near to the broken in spirit, body, and relationships. May we be acutely aware of Your comforting presence, and may your nearness be sweeter than healing, for Your glory.

11. We thank You that You are a God who desires to give Your children every good gift. Lord, grant wisdom and direction as we seek Your will in our lives. Give us our daily bread, enough to meet our needs, but not too much that we forget You. Shepherd tenderly the widows and orphans in our congregation. Guide and instruct the parents here, as your Word says you gently lead those with young.

12. Lord, our greatest need is our most over-looked one. Lord, we are blind to our spiritual needs, often looking to the world to fill us. Lord, we believe Your promises, but help our unbelief. Quicken our hearts to repentance; increase our hunger for Your Word, and our thirst for Your rivers of living water.

13. Lord, we respond to Your knock on our door and we don’t just merely invite, but rather plead for You to come in and set up Your lampstand among us.
