PRAYER FOR YOUR CHURCH
Spiritual Level
Lord, I lift up the spiritual temperature of my church. Revive us! Refine us so that we burn hot for You. Give us singleness of heart and action so that we always fear You and follow Your precepts. Pour out a spirit of Josiah on us so that we turn to You heart, soul and strength. Open our minds to understand Your Word so that our hearts burn within us. (Ps. 85:6; Rev. 3:14-18; Jer. 32:39; Ps. 111:10; 2 Ki. 23:25; Lk. 24:45, 32)
Is your congregation’s prayer list filled exclusively with names of saints who are sick or facing surgery? If so, this could be the main reason so many of your members have never learned how to pray in biblical proportion! Consider this simple change; it might turn a business-as-usual prayer meeting into a prayer adventure.
Do NOT remove the names of those who are ill . . . Simply add other
critical issues. A prayer list might look something like this:
*Sick & Suffering (ask the Lord to bring hope and healing to those who are diseased or distressed) *Seeking & Searching (pray for your neighbor and coworker) *Streets & Society (pray about social illnesses) *Strategic Servants (pray for leaders in civic and business realms) *Sent & Sacrificing (pray for those carrying the gospel around the world)
You may choose different
categories, of course. They key is to never print a prayer list that
ONLY asks the reader to pray for sick people!
