Prayer 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 over empty chairs / empty parking lot and sanctuary
(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
(Pray through the parking lot) that God would fill the parking lot of our church with new families
 Pray for revival in our church
For the Holy Spirit to move powerfully in us
For the Church to recognize the presence of God in this place
For our worship to be authentic and glorifying to God
For the sermon to be heard, understood and transforming
For the salvation of souls
For growth of the body
For the maturity of our spirits


Psalm 145:18
 
 The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
