PRAYERS FOR THE WEEK
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves. Philippians 2:3
TO GOD: Loving heavenly Father, we acknowledge your lordship and sovereignty over our lives, and choose to humble ourselves under your mighty hand (1 Peter 5:6).
FOR THE CHURCH: Father, forgive us for every act of prejudice and pride in which we elevate ourselves in judgement over others.
FOR THE WORLD: In our war-torn world, which seems to pride itself in bringing others down and elevating self, please raise up peacemakers.
FOR OUR NATION: We pray for our leaders, especially those in government, to act justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly (Micah 6:8).
FOR OUR FRIENDS: Father, I bring before you those who once walked with you but have fallen away. Touch their hearts, Lord; may they recall your goodness and return to you (Luke 15:11 ff).
FOR MYSELF: Father, I want to take time to worship you for the wonder of Jesus, who ‘emptied himself by taking the nature of a servant’ (Philippians 2:6). Amen.
