Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Francess' prayer request for their church. We ask that You fill their church with Your divine presence, that Your Spirit may dwell among them and guide them in all they do. Lord, we pray for lost souls to be drawn to the church, that they may encounter Jesus as their Savior and Lord. We ask for a mighty outpouring of Your grace and mercy upon those who come seeking You, that they may experience Your forgiveness, healing, and help.
We thank You, Lord, for the assurance that when we come to You, You are faithful to bless and receive us. We join Francess in praising Your holy name and declaring Your goodness. May Your name be exalted in their church and in the lives of all who gather there.
We pray according to Your Word in Philippians 2:15, that the members of this church may shine as lights in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, reflecting Your love and truth. Grant them an abundance of grace, wisdom, and discernment, that they may approve and pursue what is excellent and pleasing to You.
Father, we also lift up churches where the Gospel is not preached and ministers who do not know or preach the truth. We ask that You would remove the veil from their hearts, revealing to them the more excellent way found in Jesus Christ. May the darkness be dispelled, and the light of Your truth shine brightly in those places.
We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus, knowing that You are able to do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine. May Your will be done, and may Your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
