He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
A Prayer For People Of Praise
Father, each generation has a chosen people, a royal priesthood who declares Your praises to a lost and dying world filled with darkness. We’re a peculiar people in that we praise You in the good times and we praise You in the bad times; that’s how we show forth our praises of You who has called us out of darkness into Your marvelous eternal light. It is through Jesus, therefore, that we continually offer to You, our Father, a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of our lips that confess Christ’s name and the fruit of our lives that prove our words to be genuine. It is in our Savior’s name that we pray. Amen.
Psalm 71:18
Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your might to all who are to come.
A Prayer Of Thanks For Warnings
Father, thank You for Your repeated warnings in Scripture that informs, instructs and protects us from the evil one. Help us not to ignore Your warnings or procrastinate in our obedience to Your commands. Embolden our spiritual leaders to be fearless watchmen who speak out Your truths, even when they’re not popular or politically expedient. May we be receptive to Your Word and obedient in our response. In the name of Jesus we pray, amen.
Jeremiah 10:24
Correct me, LORD, but only with justice — not in your anger, lest you reduce me to nothing.
A Prayer For Contentedness
Father, help us to prayerfully apply Your Scriptures so that we can learn to be content in any and every situation. A godly contentment will fill our hearts with peace in place of an anxious heart that keeps us in angst as we struggle to obtain the newest or latest gadget or comfort. Help us to fix our eyes on You, not others as we pursue holiness. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
Proverbs 11:2
When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.
A Prayer For Those Passing The Faith On
Father, from the time of creation generation after generation have proclaimed the truths passed down to them from the prophets to their own people. It is our turn, in the 21st century, to boldly proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world, to give them hope beyond their present circumstances and eternal hope beyond the grave. We want to be a solid link in the transmission of truth and salvation to all who will receive through Jesus Christ in whose Name we pray. Amen.
Joshua 24:15
But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.
A Prayer For Truth In The Inner Parts
Father, Your Word I have hidden in my heart that I might not sin against You, for it teaches me to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly before You. Even when it brings about hurtful circumstances help me to do the right thing in maintaining and maturing my spiritual nature as I walk in Your truth and speak the truth. May I not be found lacking in integrity but rather be characterized by my integrity as it honors my Father in heaven. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
