LET US PRAY...
And he took the calf the people had made and burned it in the
fire; then he ground it to powder, scattered it on the water and
made the Israelites drink it. Exodus 32:20 NCT PRAYER
TO GOD: “I am the Lord; that is my name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols” (Isaiah 42:8). We praise you, our ‘Great I Am’ – there is none like you, incomparable, unchangeable, indescribable...
FOR THE CHURCH: Father, reveal where we have built religious idols that furnish pride, arrogance, achievement, exclusivity and judgementalism. May they be destroyed in the light of your glory (1 Samuel 5:1-3).
FOR THE WORLD: Father, may we see the world as you see it, without prejudice or favour. Fill us with the Holy Spirit so that we might love with the love of Christ.
FOR OUR NATION: Father, we see the pagan gods of mammon and hedonism, material wealth and pleasure-seeking, all around us. Lord, we long for revival.
FOR OUR FRIENDS: Father, for those drinking ‘bitter water’ we pray they will come to the One who offers living water, so satisfying that they will never thirst again (John 4:13-14).
FOR MYSELF: Father, my desire is to honour you, so ‘Lord I give you my heart, I give you my soul, I live for you alone; every breath that I take, every moment I'm awake, Lord have your way in me.’ Amen.
Oh Lord, how amazing it is to know you love you us! Help us to know this afresh this
week.
AMEN.

PRAYER FOR PERSONAL COMMITMENT
A PROMISE FROM GOD TO CLAIM:
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” The Lord Jesus stands outside our lives longing to be invited into them, and to make his eternal life real for us. What do we have to do? Pray the following prayer as your personal response to God!
A PRAYER TO OFFER TO GOD:
‘Lord Jesus Christ, I am sorry for the things I have done wrong in my life. I ask for your forgiveness and turn from everything that I know is wrong. Thank you for dying on the Cross for me to set me free from my sins. Please come into my life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and be with me forever. Thank you Lord Jesus. Amen.’
A PATHWAY TO WALK WITH GOD:
Jesus calls you to be his friend and share your life with Him. He will guide and strengthen you. He will not fail you or abandon you (Deut 31:6). He wants you to trust Him and obey what He says. It is the start of an exciting new life.
