Prayer of Praise and Thanksgiving
Spend the first few moments praising God and giving thanks. Let’s not rush into asking for anything until we have recognized God’s goodness, faithfulness and favor in our lives.
Matthew 7:7-8 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Pray for our family
- Children
- Spouses
Parents
Siblings
Grandparents
Uncles, aunts, cousins and in-laws
- Church family
- Reconciliation, forgiveness, grace and growth
John 15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit--fruit that will last--and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.

(Pray through the rows of chairs) that God would fill the empty chairs in our church with new people who are seeking to know him as Savior and Lord

For the Holy Spirit to move powerfully in us

For our worship to be authentic and glorifying to God
