Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of your Son Jesus, filled with gratitude and thanksgiving. We thank you for the answered prayers that have been brought forth through the fellowship of our brothers and sisters online. We acknowledge that it is through their prayers and intercession that we have experienced your mighty hand at work in our lives.
Lord, we are humbled by your faithfulness and goodness. You have heard our cries and have responded with love and compassion. We thank you for your Son Jesus, who intercedes on our behalf as our High Priest before you. We are grateful for the privilege of being like Jesus, bearing the names of your people in our prayers.
We also recognize the importance of thankfulness in our prayers. We understand that true prayer is not complete without a heart of gratitude. We echo the words of the Apostle Paul, "By prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let our requests be made known unto you" . Help us to always approach you with a heart filled with thanksgiving, acknowledging your goodness and mercy.
Lord, we ask for your continued guidance and strength as we strive to be true helpers to ministers and ambassadors of your gospel. May our prayers be a source of encouragement and support to those who lead and serve in your name. Grant us the wisdom to discern your will and the courage to act upon it.
Finally, we pray for watchfulness over our prayers. Help us to be vigilant and intentional in our communication with you. May we be mindful of the power and privilege we have in prayer and approach it with reverence and sincerity.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
