Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up the prayer request of GreeterBaldwyn. We ask that You pour out Your glory upon our Midweek Prayer Service and Bible study. May Your presence be tangible, filling the hearts of all who attend. We pray that lost souls will be drawn to this gathering and encounter Jesus as their personal Savior and Lord. Open their hearts to receive Your love and forgiveness.
We also lift up our choir to You, Lord. As they rehearse and prepare to sing praises to You, we ask for an anointing upon their voices. May their worship be a sweet offering to You, bringing honor and glory to Your name. Help them to lead the congregation in heartfelt worship, declaring the majesty and authority of Your kingdom.
We declare the words of Psalm 100:4, "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise." We thank You, Lord, for the privilege of prayer and worship. We thank You for the opportunity to seek Your kingdom first, knowing that as we do, all other things will be added unto us .
We also pray for our congregation, that Your word may have free course in our midst. Strengthen the faith of the believers and draw them closer to You. We pray for the household of unbelief, that they may be touched by Your love and truth. Let Your light shine brightly in our community through the testimony of our church.
Lastly, we lift up our minister to You, Lord. Grant them strength and wisdom as they labor for the good of the congregation. May their sicknesses be sanctified and their health be dedicated to You. Fill them with Your Spirit, that they may teach and lead others effectively. Keep them faithful unto death, ready to depart when called.
We join together in prayer, interceding for one another. We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for the blessings that will flow as a result. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
May God's grace and peace be with you all.
