Prayer Day - Week of November 9

PLEASE PARTNER WITH US IN PRAYER THIS WEEK FOR: 

Hope | Father, by your Spirit, disconnect our hearts, minds and lives from counterfeit hopes that were never intended to deliver that which only the Gospel of Jesus Christ can provide us. Strip the hope we place in the things of this world so that our hope may become eternally secure in the promises You have made to us.

"Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming." -1 Peter 1:13

"I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people." -Ephesians 1:18

"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful." -Hebrews 10:23

Healing | We don't have to look far to see people who are hurting, angry, and/or without hope. We don't even need to look further than ourselves if we're honest. 2020 has been hard. Lord, start with me. I open myself, my hurts, anger, confusion, misplaced hope, lack of hope, etc. to You. Hurt people hurt others. Heal my hurts, wounds and confusion so that I can better love my neighbor and share your healing hope with the world around me.

"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." -Psalms 147:3

"LORD my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me." -Psalms 30:2

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." -John 14:27

"Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." -James 5:6

Unity | The Gospel reveals that we are all created equal, sinful, and equally in need of the saving work of Christ. The shed blood of Jesus reconciles God to humanity and humanity to each other. Holy Spirit, change hearts throughout our land, temper divisiveness, build unity, allow true justice to prevail, and motivate heartfelt compassion in each of us. Help us as your followers to love others well, showing respect by managing our demeanor, avoiding fruitless arguments, and empathizing with others to see life from their lens. Whether the issue is petty or prominent, Holy Spirit, help us love people first (over our opinions) by representing Jesus well through our love, respect and empathy--all covered with equal parts truth and grace.

"There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." -Galatians 3:28

"...then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves..." -Philippians 2:2-3
