Prayer For The House of Faith Christian Church
“When you pray, say: Father, may your name be honored; may your kingdom come. May your will be done on earth as in Heaven” — Luke 11:2
“But above all pursue his kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” — Matt. 6:33
BEFORE WE PRAY we must be certain that our perspective is oriented in Truth. So here is a critical focus of orientation if prayer is to be answered: GOD is not an elected official whose job it is to make life safe. He doesn’t hear or answer any prayers for protection, deliverance or healing just because it makes life better for us. He’s not our elected Governor, tasked with maintaining our infrastructure or protecting us.
Jesus has His Kingdom and when His agenda is honored and sought by us, above all, THEN comes favor and blessings that overflow our circumstances, because as His Ambassadors, we have made them His. That is the only foundation of expectation in faith and prayer. Since GOD has invested ALL His love, mercy, and grace in Jesus and His Gospel “In Christ” is the only place to expect to find GOD listening and answering with love…
“For all the promises of God find their Yes joyously (italics mine) in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory.” — 2Cor. 1:20
With that proper focus in place, let’s come together in prayer…
Protection from Coronavirus...
Lord Jesus, in your name we ask that you cover our homes and families with the Living Blood of Jesus—the Life that killed death—that every coronavirus will die trying to penetrate the seal of your Blood over us.
“If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.” — Rom. 8:11
And as we go out into the marketplace and work, we go as your Ambassadors, representing your Kingdom, and asking you to cover us with your power and protection from disease, as we seek opportunity to make you known.
“And the disciples went everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked through them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs.” — Mark 16:20
Revival of Our Church...
Lord Jesus, we have been scattered by this pandemic shutdown, and need a freshening of our vision and resurgence of your Spirit, as we prepare to come together again. Holy Spirit, help us stir our hearts and focus our affections upon Jesus. May the zeal of the LORD ignite our hearts and fill our minds with visions of your kingdom moving among us. Lead us forward, O Great Shepherd of Souls!
“We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves. We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. “ — 2Cor. 4:7-9
The Restoration of Our Economy...
Lord Jesus, as your salt & light in the economy of our nation, we seize upon this opportunity to pray for boldness to lift your Gospel as our nation’s only true hope. And that doing so, you will restore our jobs and the greater economy they are part of. As we act as your agents, proclaiming faith in your love and mercy, in the face of fear, let your hand of favor bring healing to our economy.
“The LORD will guarantee a blessing on everything you do and will fill your storehouses with grain. The LORD your God will bless you in the land he is giving you. If you obey the commands of the LORD your God and walk in his ways, the LORD will establish you as his holy people as he swore he would do.” — Deut. 28:8-9
LORD as we thank You, we pray that you will make us a living thanksgiving to You for all to see.
Amen.
