1. Prayer Guide for June 14-20 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
Jesus is the Bread of Life. “Then Jesus declared, “I am the Bread of life. He who comes to
me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.” (John 6:35).
Jesus, we praise you for sustaining us. You tell us we should not work for the food that
spoils, but that you will provide for us the food that endures to eternal life. (John 6:27).
Confession: Recognizing our continuing need to repent for sin and seek God’s forgiveness and cleansing. 1 John 1:9
Forgive us for trying to fill our lives with things, activities, and people that will never satisfy
us. We seek out new possessions, experiences, or relationships to fill the emptiness in our
lives, when we should be turning to you, being filled with you and your word.
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, Jesus, for sacrificing your body and blood so that we might have life. Thank you
for providing for our needs. Thank you for summertime, when we are blessed with sunny
days, strawberries, and more time to enjoy family and friends.
Express your thanks to the Lord…
Supplication: Bringing personal requests and intercession for others before God’s mighty throne. Heb. 4:14-16
Jesus, help us to turn to you first to satiate us. Help us block out the distractions of the
world, and experience the fullness of a close relationship with you. Protect our children, as
they take a break from school, and use VBS and Summer Blast Camps to reach them for your
Kingdom. Provide teachers to give our Sunday school teachers a much needed break.
Enter the throne room of God and bring your requests before Him with a heart of trust and
dependency…
