Prayer Guide for Nov.9-15, 2008 with Prayer Prompts from Pastor Andrew
Adoration: Praise for Who God Is by focusing on one of the names or descriptions of God in the Bible. Matt. 6:9
JEHOVAH-ROPHE: quot;The Lord Who Healsquot; Ex. 15:22-26. From quot;rophequot; (quot;to healquot;); implies spiritual, emotional
as well as physical healing. (Jer. 30:17, 3:22; Isa. 61:1) God heals body, soul and spirit; all levels of man's
being. Heavenly Father, thank you for being the “Great Physician” – for caring intimately about my deepest wounds
whether they be spiritual, emotional, or physical. I praise Your name for the healing that I have and am experiencing
both in and through You! Thank You for your healing hand in my life.
Confession: Recognizing our continuing need to repent for sin and seek God’s forgiveness and cleansing. 1 John 1:9
Lord, You know my heart. I pray as David prayed, that you would Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and
know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. You know
my desire is to do Your will; to live for and serve you in all my ways. God, I pray that you would forgive me for my
offenses and restore me. Thank You for Your grace and Your mercy!
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
God, I thank You for the opportunities I have to serve you in my community. I praise you for the privilege of sharing
my faith and my family with Jimmy, and for his story of Your grace, redemption and salvation as well. I’m so excited
about the ways in which You’re at work and am grateful for the opportunity to serve You in ministry.
Express your thanks to the Lord…
Supplication: Bringing personal requests and intercession for others before God’s mighty throne. Heb. 4:14-16
Father, I ask You to guide, lead and direct our church as we seek to serve and honor You as a body here in our
church, in our community, in our nation and in our world. I pray for Your guidance as a nation, that we, as a country,
will turn our hearts back to You. I ask for Your favor as I seek to honor and glorify You in my thoughts, my words and
my actions.
Amen
Enter the throne room of God and bring your requests before Him with a heart of trust and
dependency…
