Prayer Focus For The Week of 8-25-13

O Lord God, great is Your faithfulness.  Even when things in the world don’t look or sound good, I can still find hope and expectation in Your Word.  I remember how merciful You have been to me in the past and I rejoice that Your mercy is renewed each morning.  Your faithfulness is truly great! 

 

My soul says, the Lord is my portion and I will hope in Him.  The Lord is good to those who wait for Him and seek Him.  I hope and quietly wait upon the salvation of the Lord. 

 

Lord, I wait for You.  My expectation and hope are in You.  As I obediently make the changes You show me, my strength and power are renewed.  I lift up my wings like an eagle and soar closer and closer to You.  When I walk or run, I don’t get weary or tired and faint. 

 

I only desire to seek after You and forever be in Your presence all the days of my life.  There I can look upon Your beauty and meditate and inquire in Your temple and You will always answer me.  

 

Thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness, for it is truly great!  In Jesus’ name, amen.

Prayer for the Week of August 4th

O Lord, I give You thanks and call upon Your name.  I will tell people who You are and share with them what You've done for me.  I sing praises to You and glorify Your holy name.

 

I seek Your strength and continually seek Your face Lord, and my heart rejoices.  I remember all the marvelous works and wonders You have done, and Your spoken judgments.  You are Lord our God, and Your judgments are in all the earth.  As an heir and chosen one, I will always be mindful of Your covenant, Your Word, which You commanded to a thousand generations. 

 

Father, those around me, believers and unbelievers, will hear and see that I love You - that You are a great God and greatly to be praised.  You, Lord, made the heavens and are to be reverently and worshipfully feared above all gods.  Glory and honor are in Your presence.  Strength and gladness are in Your place.  I give unto You, Lord, glory and strength. 

 

I offer myself as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to You, God, which is my reasonable service.  I am not conformed to this world, but am transformed by the renewing of my mind, that I may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 

 

I glorify and worship You, Lord in the beauty of holiness.  All the earth will reverently fear and worship You, and the world will be stable, it will be unmoved, unshakable!  Men of all nations will say, “The Lord reigns”!  All of heaven and earth will be glad, and shall worship and praise You.  Halleluiah! 

 

I give thanks to You, Lord, for You are good, and Your mercy endures forever.  In Jesus’ name, amen.
