Here is your daily Love2Pray prayer pattern. It is designed to help you to pray beyond just everyday needs.
Personal Prayer
Praise the wonderful God who causes mountains and hills to burst into song and all the trees of the fields to clap their hands (Isa. 55:12). Give thanks that the Lord “comforts his people and [has] compassion on his afflicted ones” (Isa. 49:13). Confess any lack of joy which you may have and admit to God your failures to receive his joy. Commit yourself to considering all of life as pure joy, whatever the circumstance, since Jesus Christ is alive and victorious over all. Ask the Lord to restore to you the joy of his salvation (Ps. 51:12), so that you may be a prime exhibit of Christ’s life-changing power.
For Your Family and Friends
Pray that your family and friends may have Christian joy. Ask God to help them to discipline themselves in the Christian faith and grow together in genuine love.
For the Church
When your church gathers to worship, ask that members will have a taste of the joyful assembly that is heaven.
For the Kingdom
Pray that relief agencies may operate efficiently and make a lasting difference in the lives of those who are assisted.
For People to Know Jesus
Ask the Spirit to cause non-Christians whom you know (be specific) to seek out real joy in Jesus.
