SATURDAY PRAYER (15FEB20)

 

SATURDAY PRAYER (15FEB20) – Dear Heavenly and Most Gracious Father, we thank you this day for all your many blessings, countless mercies, and abundant love that you have shown us. We are grateful to you, for you are the One who has given us love beyond measure, and even when we were and still are undeserving of it, you saturate us in it, and for that we say Thank You. Lord, we ask for your forgiveness of our sins, and we pray that you will wash us so that our stains will not be seen. We thank you, Jesus, for shedding your blood on the cross so that we may have eternal life.

Lord, we have a few requests that we desire of you, and we thank you in advanced for answering our prayers. Your Word says that the prayers of the righteous avails much, and we are to present to you all kinds of prayers and petitions. Therefore, we have come to make our requests known before You for you are the only One who has the power to do far more than we could ever imagine or do ourselves.

Today, we pray for the family of the deceased 6-year-old Faye whose life was taken by a wicked individual. We ask that you will comfort them in their hour of need. We pray for all the children to be under your protective hands, and those who would seek to do them harm be stopped in their tracks and be brought to justice. We pray for all the children rather inside and outside of the womb because they all need your protection where they are defenseless and unable to look out themselves.

We pray for those who are sick, Lord. We ask that you will be with the sick children and adults who need you to show up as Jehovah Rophe (Lord our Healer) in their lives. Lord, please visit every child that is at St. Judes Hospital to heal and comfort both the children and parents. Please be will all the sick who are in hospital beds, long-term facilities, rehab facilities, mental institutions, and other areas where they need your touch. We ask that you will be with the people in China who are suffering from the Cornavirus. We ask that you will make it cease and desist. Lord, we pray for those who are moments from death and have not made things right with you to be receptive to your salvation.

Lord, we pray for those who are incarcerated. We ask that you will help the prisoners who do not know you to accept you into their hearts because you love them no less than those who are free. Please help them to know that it is in you where there is true liberty despite their physical residence. We also pray for the children who are in juvenile facilities that they will turn from their destructive paths, if they are guilty of such, and to know that you have a better plan for their lives.

Lord we pray for your persecuted children all across the world. We ask that you will allow them to endure to the end despite those who would wish to prevent your gospel from being spread. We know that the enemy seeks to stop them, but your Word will go forth as it did in the book of Acts. Please give all of us the boldness that it will take to stand for you despite the threat of imprisonment and/or death.

We pray for those who have unspoken prayers before you. You know their needs and you are there to meet everyone of them. We ask that you will reach down and provide for them in the areas of their lives where they need you the most. We ask that you will help them to see you despite the storms that they may be traveling through because you are the captain of their ship and will lead them to your expected end.

We pray for those who are depressed, lonely, downcast, worried, and in despair. Please help them to know your joy, love, and peace that surpasses all human understanding. Let them know that in you, they can find relief and that you did not give them the spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind. Your Word says that perfect love casts out ALL fear.

Finally, we pray for our service men and women, peace officers, government officials, President and Vice, along with their families. We ask that you will give protection to them until their work is done, and we ask that they will have the wisdom, knowledge, and humility to do the work of service for people everywhere. Please give them strength, restoration, and rest so they may not burnout but be able to do all that you have called them to do. This also includes those who are in ministry and are ministering to your people. Please help them to continue the race and not give up on you and others. We thank you Lord for what you are going to do, and we pray for all of these things in your Son’s name, Jesus, Yeshua Hamashiach. Amen.
