PRAYERS FOR THE WEEK
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” Hebrews 10:24
TO GOD: Father, thank you that you have given us the ministry to spur one another on toward love.
FOR THE CHURCH: Heavenly Father, thank you that we can find refuge under your wings; your faithfulness will be our shield and rampart (Psalm 91:4).
FOR THE WORLD: Father, we pray for vulnerable people throughout the world. May they neither be used or abused but receive help in their time of need. May our eyes be open to see those we can help today.
FOR OUR NATION: Worry and anxiety plague our nation. May those struggling, especially our children, receive effective help and find peace of mind in you.
FOR OUR FRIENDS: Father, may we be ‘living epistles’
(2 Corinthians 3:2) use our minds, mouths, hands, and feet for your glory.
FOR MYSELF: Father, forgive me when I refuse your yoke and decline the rest you offer. Today, I gladly choose once more to make you my source of peace and strength.
PRAYER
Father God, please draw near as we delve into your Word, using Living Light. 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.
