Prayer for the Body of Christ
Father
may the world know that we belong to You by the way that we love one another.
May the unity of the Spirit and the bond of peace increase in all our churches.
Help us to be completely humble and gentle with one another and to bear with
one another in love (Ephesians 4:2-3).
Father You have promised to
bestow on Your people the oil of gladness in place of the ‘ash piles’ of our
lives (Isaiah 61:3). Many of us struggle under the memories of past hurt, abuse
and loss. Heal our damaged emotions Father, restore joy and gladness to us we pray!
Lord Jesus You said that
Your house was to be a “house of prayer for all nations”. And so we ask that
our community of faith learn the discipline of prayer. May we determine to
increasingly become those who “cast every care” onto You, to “watch on the
wall” for Your church and who “always pray and never give up” until we see
lives transformed, revival fall and the last great harvest come in! (Mark
11:17; 1 Peter 5:7; Isaiah 62:6-7; Luke 18:1-8)
Father
we ask that You breathe new Spirit-life into our community of faith. May
revival visitations of the Holy Spirit fall on us, change us, renew us, we
pray! (Ezekiel 37:5). May we not resist the Holy Spirit in any way. In Jesus Name we pray. [Pray the Word]
