SATURDAY PRAYER (01FEB20)

SATURDAY PRAYER (01FEB20) – Our Creator, Redeemer, Savior, Lord, God Most High, we come to you on this Saturday to give you thanks, praise, and to make our requests known to you. We want to acknowledge your greatness for you are above all other gods and there are none like you. We thank you for parting our Red Seas in times when we could see no way through; we thank you for giving us Manna when we were in desert areas in our lives, and we thank you for giving us your Living Water when our lives were running dry. You are our Strength, Hope, Deliverer, and Restorer of our Soul. Lord, we ask that you will forgive us from all of our trespasses and that you will make us more like you in every area of our lives. We ask that you will help us to lose the taste of sin that may linger around and give us more of an appetite for the spiritual food of your Word so we will be filled to capacity with your Spirit. 

We ask that you will send your power down from Heaven so that we can touch the lives of those around us. We ask that the shadow of your anointing follow us so that others my see you in us and that even when we are gone from their presence, your residue is left behind for them to feel you. We pray that we can have an impact on those who are lost so that they may find their way to you.

Lord, we pray for those who are sick physically, mentally, and spiritually. We know that you are the Great Physician who caused the blind to see, the deaf to talk, the lame to walk, and the dead to rise. There is no area where your healing touch cannot reach. We pray for those who have dementia, Alzheimer’s, cancer, depression, suicidal thoughts, and spiritual stagnation. We ask that you will meet them wherever they are and give them peace in the midst of their situation. We pray for those who are nurses, doctors, caregivers, therapists, and those who work in ministry. You said that as we do unto the least of them, we have done so unto you. So we ask that you will prevent burnout but revitalize their health, mind, and spirit.

We pray for those who are in areas of heavy persecution. We pray that you will be with those Christians who are standing up for you despite the danger of losing their earthly lives. We ask that you will be with them and to also help their persecutors to turn their hearts to you. We pray for the families of those who lost their loved ones in acts of violence and help them to know that their lost is indeed your gain.

Lord, we pray for the church. We ask that the hearts of many who claim to be a part of your body will wake up and understand the hour in which we live so that we not only be prepared ourselves, but to help others get ready for your soon return. No one knows the day nor the hour of your return, but we do know that it is sooner than we may think. 

Lord, please cover our President and Vice-President. We pray against any harm that would come their way. And whenever their time is complete on earth and/or in office, we pray for their soul salvation and that they may enter into your kingdom. We ask that you will cover their families and allow no harm nor danger to come to them. We once again pray against this Coronavirus. We ask that you will send it back to the pits for which it came. We know that nothing can take place without your permission, but we ask for your grace and mercy to be displayed. We pray that the Chinese people who do not worship you will bow down and honor you as their Lord and Savior. We also pray for their government because your Word says that every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. We pray for your protection over the Chinese Christians who are being persecuted by their government and are locked up in prisons and/or abandoned by their friends and loved ones for your Name's sake.

We ask for your grace, mercy, and care over not only the lives of your people but for those who have not come into the full acceptance of who you are. Please keep tugging at their hearts to submit to you before their time on earth is done. Please give us peace in chaos, faith during storms, and comfort during difficulty. We pray for your soon return and that we will hear you say “Well done” once our time on earth is finished. We ask for all of these things in your Son’s mighty Name that is above all other names – Jesus, Yeshua Hamashiach. Amen.
