1. Prayer Guide for August 16-22 with Prayer Prompts from Brenda Heinsoo
Adoration: Praise for Who God Is by focusing on one of the names or descriptions of God in the Bible. Matt. 6:9
The God who calms the sea. “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him”.
Luke 8:25
I praise you, Father, for your mighty power and the peace you bring, even during the “storms” of my life.
Confession: Recognizing our continuing need to repent for sin and seek God’s forgiveness and cleansing. 1 John 1:9
Father, forgive us when we, like your disciples in the boat, lose faith and fear the storms that seem to overcome us.
Forgive us for forgetting that you are in control, and that you won’t let us drown in the circumstances of this life.
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
Thank you, Father, for the peace that only you can bring. Thank you that as soon as we acknowledge you and your
place of power in our lives, we are immersed in your “peace which transcends all understanding.”
Express your thanks to the Lord…
Supplication: Bringing personal requests and intercession for others before God’s mighty throne. Heb. 4:14-16
Father, be with our church as we go out and show your love to the community with our actions on Sunday. Protect our
workers at the various worksites, and let your love and grace be evident as we reach out in practical ways to those
around us. May you be glorified through your church, Father, not just during Love in Action Sunday, but every day!
Enter the throne room of God and bring your requests before Him with a heart of trust and dependency…
