Prayer Prompts – Week 1: Praying for the Church
Mon: 11/10 - Adoration (Praise): Adoration centers our hearts on the character of God before we talk about our circumstances. It’s worship through words. “Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness” Psalms 29:2
Tue: 11/11- Confession: Confession is more than admitting sin; it’s agreeing with God that His way is better and asking Him to realign your heart. “Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord” Acts 3:19
Pray for repentance and refreshing in the church.
Wed: 11/12 - Thanksgiving: It’s not just saying thank you for what God’s done—it’s recognizing His steady faithfulness along the way. “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Thur: 11/13 - Supplication (Petition): But it’s deeper than a wish list; it’s an honest, faith-filled conversation with the One who can actually do something about it. “Therefore let’s approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need.” Hebrews 4:16
Fri: 11/14 - Intercession: This is prayer that turns the spotlight off yourself and lifts up someone else —it’s love in prayer form. “With every prayer and request, pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be alert with all perseverance and every request for all the saints” Ephesians 6:18
Sat: 11/15 – Surrender/Consecration: This prayer is the exhale—the moment you stop fighting for control and simply hand God the keys. “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.” Galatians 2:20
Sun: 11/16 – Sabbath Rest: Rest is required to stay spiritually alert and spiritually effective. “So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His. Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through following the same example of disobedience.” Hebrew 4:9-11
