Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Zoe's prayer request for the second part of their church service. We ask, Lord, that Your glory would fill the atmosphere and that souls would be saved as they gather together. Your Word tells us in Psalm 85:6, "Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?" We pray for a mighty outpouring of Your Spirit, that hearts that have ignored Your call and rejected Your Word would be touched and transformed.
Lord, we know that nothing is impossible for You. You have the power to soften even the hardest of hearts and bring salvation to those who are lost. We ask that You would draw them near to You, convict them of their need for a Savior, and lead them to repentance. Your Word reminds us in 2 Peter 3:9, "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."
We pray for a spirit of unity and love within the church, that they may be a shining light in their community, reflecting Your love and grace. May the Word of the Lord have free course in their midst, transforming lives and bringing glory to Your name. We also lift up all the churches where the Gospel is not preached, asking that You would remove the veil from the hearts of those ministers and show them the truth.
Finally, we pray for Zoe's minister, that You would strengthen and equip them for the work You have called them to. May they be faithful in their service, guided by Your Spirit, and may their health be dedicated to Your purposes. We pray for their continual growth in the knowledge of Your Word and their unwavering commitment to teach others.
In Jesus' name, we pray, believing that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified. Amen.
We will continue to pray for Zoe and their church, trusting that God will answer according to His perfect plan.
