PRAYER FOR YOUR CHURCH

Our neighborhood

 

Lord, I lift up our community, especially the surrounding neighborhood. Let us love these people as we love ourselves. May our concern for their needs override other things that take our time and focus. Rebuild and restore areas that have been devastated. Renew our community—send Your peace and prosperity into this place where You’ve planted us. Bless each individual home and family. Build each house from the inside out; watch over our city. (Gal. 5:14; Prov. 3:28; Isa. 61:4; Jer. 29:7; Lk 10:5-6; Ps. 127:1)

Praying for Passion in Ministry

The following format is based on the chapters of Stephen Seamands’ book, A Conversation with Jesus (Victor Books). Each is based on Christ’s post-Resurrection, breakfast-on-the-shore conversation with Peter in John 21. “Jesus . . . remind[ed] Peter of the essentials of ministry-–truths he already knew but had forgotten. His five ‘words’ to Peter revolve around key elements of ministry.”

Focus: Renewing Our Passion For Ministry


Format:

  • Sing–-Choose a song that leads into the next theme
  • Scripture--Read and Expound on Scripture (2 minutes)
  • Silence-–Give everyone time to mediate on the scripture (2 minutes)
  • Supplication-–Explain how to pray (partners; groups, etc)
  • Song-–Transition to the next theme . . .

Scripture Themes:

  • “Do You Love Me?”
  • “Feed My Sheep”
  •  “Where You Do Not Want to Go”
  • “Follow Me”
  •  “What Is That to You? Follow Me”
  •  “Receive the Holy Spirit” (John 20:21-22)

Chapter Heading Quotes:

“Do You Love Me?”
 "Whatever happens to you, never give up praying. It would be
like giving up breathing. A man or woman who does not pray
is no longer a ministry."--Henri Nouwen

“Feed My Sheep”
 "Feed my sheep-–identify yourself with My interests in other
people, not identify Me with your interests in other people."--Oswald Chambers

“Where You Do Not Want to Go”
 "The work of God can only be built upon the ruins of ourselves."--Fenelon

“Follow Me”
 "The working minister is in a co-working ministry day after day
with Christ’s own ministry, supported and energized by the Holy
Spirit."--Thomas Oden

“What Is That to You? Follow Me”
 "Envy causes us to want to be what we were never created to be–-someone else."--Robert Schnase

“Receive the Holy Spirit” (John 20:21-22)
 "Unless the Holy Spirit fills, the human spirit fails.”--E. Stanley Jones
