1. Prayer Guide for August 23-29 with Prayer Prompts from Sandy Richter
Adoration: Praise for Who God Is by focusing on one of the names or descriptions of God in the Bible. Matt. 6:9
Oh Lord, You are the great Creator, You bring the changes in the seasons. You also desire to bring changes within
me. You know me so intimately and know my areas of needed growth. Yet, Your ways of teaching and leading me is
personal and loving. For You are my loving Father.
Confession: Recognizing our continuing need to repent for sin and seek God’s forgiveness and cleansing. 1 John 1:9
Lord I confess so often I do not stop and acknowledge Your work in Your great creation or even allow You the
authority in my life to change me. I do not allow your refreshment to fill me through the Holy Spirit, therefore denying
me the ability to glorify You by encouraging others.
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 that even in the midst of my failures, You will take my life and still nudge me into submission. Where
I find the peace and joy, comfort and growth that only can bring in a willing heart. Thank you for never giving up on
me, thank you for loving me in the midst of my growth process. Thank you for the presence of the Holy Spirit that
reveals Your Truths in my life and empowers me to grow and bring honor and glory to Your name.
Express your thanks to the Lord…
Supplication: Bringing personal requests and intercession for others before God’s mighty throne. Heb. 4:14-16
Heavenly Father, I ask for you to grow me to be your humble, submissive servant. To seek Your face and follow
Your leading and encourage others in the truth of Your Word. To bring comfort and joy to others in need and to
therefore glorify You.
Enter the throne room of God and bring your requests before Him with a heart of trust and dependency…
