This prayer guide provides prompts for different types of prayers over a week-long period, including adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication. For adoration, it focuses on two Bible verses where John the Baptist describes Jesus as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. For confession, it acknowledges wasting time that could be spent serving God. For thanksgiving, it expresses gratitude for blessings on family, job, and opportunities to serve. For supplication, it requests prayers for a boys ranch ministry and includes a list of church families to pray for over the week.

1. Prayer Guide for April 19 - 25 with Prayer Prompts from Don Wallace
Adoration: Praise for Who God Is by focusing on one of the names or descriptions of God in the Bible. Matt. 6:9
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, quot;Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!quot; John
1:29 …and looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, quot;Behold the Lamb of God!quot; John 1:36
In these two short verses, as in many short verses, John has both said who Jesus is and His mission in coming to earth. When we
speak to others about the how Jesus has affected our lives we really don't have to make it much more complicated then this; He
washes away the mistakes I make, because He is God.
Confession: Recognizing our continuing need to repent for sin and seek God’s forgiveness and cleansing. 1 John 1:9
My biggest regret is the time that I waste that I could be giving Him. I know that no one can give as much time as they would like
with our busy schedules, but there are times that I sit and veg, instead of doing something constructive.
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
I would like to thank Him for continually blessing my family. These are especially hard economical times for many and I want to
thank Him for my job and how He has blessed through my wife’s business. I would also like to thank the Lord for the opportunity to
serve Him along with Bill Clark and Marlon Grogan at the Parrot Creek Boys Ranch.
Express your thanks to the Lord…
Supplication: Bringing personal requests and intercession for others before God’s mighty throne. Heb. 4:14-16
I ask for your prayers for our ministry at the Parrot Creek Boy Ranch. We have a couple of boys that come regularly, but would like
more of the boys to come.
Enter the throne room of God and bring your requests before Him with a heart of trust and
dependency…
