PRAYER FOR YOUR CHURCH

Help for the Hurting

 

Lord, I lift up those who are hurting right now. May they come to know You as El Roi, the God who sees them. For every situation of rejection, help them feel sonship. Bind up the brokenhearted! In every area of bondage, set the captives free; in every case of mourning, replace it with Your oil of gladness. Comfort them so that they will have a ministry of comfort to others. (Gen. 16:13; Ro. 8:15; Isa. 61:1-3; 2 Cor. 1:3-4)

Uncommon Prayer Meetings

Turning Prayer Meetings into Adventures

Focus: Praying for the Next Generation

Foundation: 1 Samuel 3:1-21; 1 Samuel 16:1-13; Acts 13:1-13, 15:36-41; 2 Timothy 4:11

Too many of our children and youth walk away from both the Church and Christ as they move into a secular adult world. Invest an evening in their spiritual future. Invite parents and grandparents. Ask the kids and young people for prayer requests; as specific and honest as they dare to be!


Format:

Facilitator explains the focus and guidelines (launch your prayer from a scripture in the identified section)

Praise: sing 1 or 2 song-prayers; songs with lyrics that speak to God, extolling His greatness, grandeur and glory.

Scripture Foundation:  1 Samuel 3:1-21

Facilitator skims the passage to briefly explain the situation

Emphasize: “I did not call you” indicates the slowness of  older generation to consider the next generation as colleagues

“Let’s ask God to forgive us for not discipling, mentoring, training our young people; for not having a vision for their future in ministry.”

Sing a song with the theme of looking at the heart

Scripture Foundation:  1 Samuel 16:1-13

Facilitator skims the passage to briefly explain the situation

Emphasize: “The Lord looks on the heart” indicates that when we look for leaders we often use a secular or corporate standard

“Let’s pray from this passage, asking the Lord to help us discern David’s (male and female) currently hidden from our eyes.”

Scripture Foundation:  Acts 13:1-13 + 15: 36-41 + 2 Timothy 4:11

Facilitator skims the passage to briefly explain the situation

Emphasize: “John Mark was with Paul and Barnabas (13:4) but left them (13) (due to spiritual conflict in Paphos?), leading to a parting of the ways (37-39) . . . But, Barnabas sacrificed the “limelight” and mentored John Mark, eventually resulting in Paul’s request for his help (2 Timothy 4:11).

“Let’s pray for those who have failed, drawn back, even deserted; for their restoration, for a mentor, for renewed opportunity.”
