Lord, we need You. This world needs You.
We pray that You would strengthen and fortify
all who are suffering for Your name's sake.
There is not peace on this earth, but we pray
that we may find peace in Your presence.
Equip us to share Your love with the lost.
We're thankful that You meet us where
we are, in our brokenness, and lead us
to salvation through Your holy Son,
our Savior Jesus, in whose name we pray.
Amen.

Holy Father,
The bible repeatedly says, "Do not be afraid. God is with you."
Yet we find ourselves fearful of our circumstances,
of the future, and sometimes of others.
We pray that we would feel Your presence in our lives,
and through our reliance on You, we would overcome our fears.
You, Lord, are all-powerful, all-knowing, and perfect
and You love us completely.
We put all our concerns into Your capable hands.
We love You and we thank You for caring for us.
We pray to You in Jesus' holy name.
Amen.

Holy Father,
The evil one lies to us,
and sin itself is deceitful.
Your law is perfect.
Your word shows us Your very character
and how You intend for us to live.
Help us to see through the lies of sin
that only bring us short-term gratification.
Isaiah 40:8 says,
"The grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of our God endures forever."
Give us strength and discernment so that
through Your word and by Your Spirit
we will be led to make decisions that honor You.
We ask this in Jesus' name.
Amen.

Lord God,
We praise You and we thank You for
the blessings You've bestowed upon us.
While we were still sinners, You brought salvation
to this earth through Your perfect son, Jesus.
The world sees our sin, but You see us
cleansed by the blood of the Lamb.
With Jesus as Lord of our lives, we are changed.
We are so thankful for Your grace
and mercy that make us new.
Amen.
