Prayer Guide for February 1-7 with Prayer Prompts from Pastor Dave
Adoration: Praise for Who God Is by focusing on one of the names or descriptions of God in the Bible. Matt. 6:9
Yahweh Nissi – The LORD Our Banner. After the Israelites defeated the Amalekites while
Moses’ hands were lifted over the battle, Moses built an altar and called it “the LORD is my
Banner.” (Ex. 17:15) God Stretches His protective arms over us, enabling victory in our battles.
He is OUR banner and His is a banner of love (Song of Songs 2:4).
Confession: Recognizing our continuing need to repent for sin and seek God’s forgiveness and cleansing. 1 John 1:9
Father, forgive us for behaving as if our battles are solely up to us to fight, so that we try to win
them with our own ingenuity. Teach us to rely less on self and more on YOU!
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, Lord, that You are my banner—a banner of love. Thank you for expressing love in
Your daily provisions, Your grace and mercy to forgive, and Your overcoming power that gives us
victory. Thank you specifically for Your recent provision of a new Superintendent for the Pacific
Conference.
Express your thanks to the Lord…
Supplication: Bringing personal requests and intercession for others before God’s mighty throne. Heb. 4:14-16
Some prayer foci: Gaza & Israel, President Obama & cabinet, national economy & the
unemployed, marriages & children, Pacific Conf. churches & Supt.-elect Chris Neilson.
Enter the throne room of God and bring your requests before Him with a heart of trust and
dependency…
