1. Prayer Guide for March 8-14 with Prayer Prompts from Pastor Andrew
Adoration: Praise for Who God Is by focusing on one of the names or descriptions of God in the Bible. Matt. 6:9
God, I thank you for being “I am” (Exodus 3:14). Thank you for always nurturing, sustaining and
keeping me. I am so grateful for the ways in which you have ordered my steps and have kept me,
even in what I considered to be my darkest hours. Thank you for being all that I need!
Confession: Recognizing our continuing need to repent for sin and seek God’s forgiveness and cleansing. 1 John 1:9
God, I confess that all too often I am tempted to remove you from your rightful place of Lord in my
life as I try to solve, resolve and direct my own paths. I ask you to forgive me for my inadequate
responsiveness in surrendering my whole life to you. It is clear that apart from you I am nothing,
and yet I seem to wrestle with letting go. I pray that you will forgive my prideful spirit and my
seeming need to be in control.
Offer your confession to the Lord…
Thanksgiving: Thank God for all He has done, direct praise to Him and recognize answered prayer! 1 Thes.5:16-18
God, thank you for restoring me, my life, my family and my future. Thank you for loving me as I
am and leading me to grow beyond myself. Thank you for my wife, my kids, my family and my
baby-to-be. Thank you for providing immeasurably more than I could have hoped or asked for.
Thank you for the privilege that I have to love you, serve you and live out my faith. Thank you for
bringing me into a life and relationship with you. Thank you!
Express your thanks to the Lord…
Supplication: Bringing personal requests and intercession for others before God’s mighty throne. Heb. 4:14-16
Enter the throne room of God and bring your requests before Him with a heart of trust and
dependency… God, I pray for your hand to continually guide, lead and direct me. I ask that you
would be with my wife, Stacy as she is getting ready to give birth to our new baby. I pray for
patience. I pray for your wisdom. I pray for your strength. God, I thank you for the work that you
have begun and continue to do here at OCEC, and I pray that as we remain faithful to you, that
you would bless our ministry and bring us favor within the hearts and lives of our community and
those who have yet to know you as their Lord and Savior. Amen.
Pray for these OCEC families: (Praying for 20 households/week = praying through the church directory every 9 months!)
