Personal Prayer
In your heart sing to the Lord, your strength and song; praise the one who has become your salvation. Give thanks that with joy you can draw water from the wells of salvation (Isa. 12:2-3). Confess that your worship is sometimes lacking because you don’t always remember the greatness of your salvation. Commit yourself to worshiping and singing with your whole heart; ask God to make you awake and alive to the power of his Word and the joy of music.
For Your Family and Friends
Ask God to minister to hurting family members or friends through the Word and through the supportive, caring comments of other church members.
For the Church
Pray for families with young children and teenagers, that the children may feel a sense of participation in worship this week and of belonging to the body of Christ.
For the Kingdom
Pray that worship may unite a “great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language” in praise of the God of our salvation and the Lamb who sits upon the throne (Rev. 7:9-10).
For People to Know Jesus
Ask the Spirit to draw the unsaved on your street to a church where they can find hope and healing in the preaching of God’s Word.
