Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, praising and exalting your holy name. We thank you, Most High God, for your abundant blessings and for the privilege of approaching your throne of grace with our prayers.
Lord, we humbly ask for your guidance and favor as we take each step in our journey of faith. We acknowledge that without you, we can do nothing, but with you, all things are possible. Please lead us and direct our paths according to your perfect will.
We also lift up our prayers to you, knowing that you are a God who hears and answers. We ask that you would pour out your blessings upon us and meet our needs according to your riches in glory. Help us to trust in your provision and to seek first your kingdom and your righteousness.
Father, we thank you for the privilege of prayer and for the opportunity to come before you with our requests. We pray that you would increase our faith and deepen our relationship with you. Teach us to pray according to your will, aligning our desires with yours.
We also pray for the benefit of the church, Lord. May our prayers be a source of strength and encouragement to your people. Help us to intercede on behalf of others, lifting up their needs and burdens before you. May our prayers be like incense, rising up to you and moving the wheels of your kingdom.
Lord, we thank you for the example of Jesus, who intercedes for us as our High Priest. Help us to be like him, bearing the names of others before you in prayer. Give us a heart of compassion and a desire to see your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Finally, we express our gratitude for the importance of thankfulness in prayer. We acknowledge that true prayer involves both asking and praising. Help us to cultivate a spirit of gratitude, offering our thanks to you in all circumstances.
In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.
