Great God Almighty, Please forgive me of my sins, for they stand multiplied before You.

Let me honor You with my life and please cover my dishonor through Christ’s blood. Hear my prayer and my heart’s cry, Oh Lord.

We Pray for the Unborn
Dear Father You are beautiful beyond description and the heavens declare Your glory. Though marred by our sin, I am still in awe of earth’s amazing beauty and fascinating creatures.

I see Your Life, Your Provisional, Your Powerful, and Your Relational “thumbprints” all around me. Thank You for making Yourself so well-known. I long for the Day when You will … [Read more...]
We Pray for Literal and Spiritual Water
O Lord, our creator and sustainer, we come to you this day mindful of how richly your Word uses the word “water.” It speaks of water in the literal sense as when, for instance, David, pursued by Saul, yearned for a taste of water from the well of his hometown of Bethlehem. But it also uses the physical need and desire for water to picture for us our need for You (“as the deer pants for the water brooks”), your provision for your people (“He leads me beside the still waters”), and even of the … [Read more...]

We Pray for a Return to the Genesis Mandate
Our Heavenly Father, We do recognize that in the world today, one of the primary reasons many people are destitute, is often because all too many people and their governments, worship or give too much deference to nature and the natural world that prevents them fulfilling their divinely ordained mandate to subdue and fill the earth as originally intended – emanating from the Garden of Eden as a model to follow. This same mandate was taken seriously by Joshua’s generation who subdued the … [Read more...]

Heavenly Father, You cause Your sun to shine and Your rain to fall on the just and the unjust. You show Yourself immensely loving to all Your creatures—people of every tribe and tongue and nation, animals and plants of all sorts, Earth and Sun and Moon and all planets and stars in the heavens. Indeed, You call every one of the hundreds of billions of stars by name! Your understanding is infinite, Your patience amazing, Your grace abounding, Your justice perfect. We praise and glorify You for all … [Read more...]
We Pray for a Broken and Needy World
O Lord Our God: We come to you in the only name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved—Jesus Christ. How we thank you that we are saved through his name, by his righteous life, his atoning death, and his powerful resurrection from the dead. Lord, we live in a broken and needy world—a place of great suffering. There are millions of people who were created by you and are loved by you, but find it difficult to maintain their own lives. They do not have the material resources to … [Read more...]
