Pray
Heavenly Father, I come to You now to renew my place in
You. I acknowledge that You are the Creator of all things and the Provider of all I
need. You are the Great I AM. The First and the Last, the King of kings and
Lord of lords. You alone are life. No one comes before You, and today, I will
pursue life in You as my greatest passion.
Father, thank You for ransoming me with the life of Your
Son. Jesus, thank You for being my substitute and paying for all of my sins. I
believe in Your resurrection, and it is through my faith in You that I can now
approach my Heavenly Father with freedom and confidence. I claim the power of
Your resurrection in my life and I now bring every aspect of my life, including
my family [name your spouse and/or children] and my work under Your authority
and Your Kingdom.
In You, Jesus, I have received a new life and have been
raised to walk in the newness of that life. I ask that Your Holy Spirit search
me, know me and reveal to me any aspect of my life that is not pleasing to You.
Show me the things in my life that prevent me from knowing Your will, and give
me the strength to repent. Holy Spirit, I also ask you to awaken my heart to
everything You want to do through me and the steps You want me to take for You.
Jesus, I believe You have new things to declare for my life and I ask in Your
name that You make them known to me.
Jesus, I
also ask You to reveal to me in every way possible those in my current
relationships for whom I should intercede in prayer and reach out to in Your
name. I pray today for opportunities to be Your light in their life so they
will grow in the knowledge of You.
Father,
I pray for all of the leaders at Stonecreek Church who join with me for this
time of prayer. Search us, break us and unify us as men and women of the one
true living God so new things can be accomplished for Your Kingdom in our
homes, our community and around the world.
Holy
Spirit, fill Your church with the strength and endurance to bring spiritual
revolution in these times. Stir our hearts to pray as never before and to have
discernment and a boldness to share the life we have in Jesus.
Now,
Father, I pray for 10/10/10 and every new thing You will bring about in me, my
community and our church. You are able to do immeasurably more than all I
can ever ask or imagine. To You be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus
throughout all generations, forever and ever!
Amen.
Reflect And Respond | Half-Way There
Today we begin the second half of our 40-day Prayer Journey to 10/10/10. For this Reflect and Respond time we want to hear from you.
First, take time
to reflect on any notes you have made or experiences you have had throughout the first half of this journey.
Then, use our online form to share a few sentences with us around what God is doing in or through your life as a result of your prayer time. Do not worry about grammar, punctuation or making what you share perfect. Just share your thoughts. Here are a few areas to help get the thoughts flowing:
- What former
things have you felt led to leave in the past and not dwell on anymore (Isaiah
43:18-19)? Have you layed these down and how has it gone?
- What new
things or next steps do you feel God is asking you to declare for yourself on 10/10/10?
- Who is God
guiding you to reach out to and help take a next step? Have you already reached out?
- Where have
you felt led to pray for Stonecreek and the new things God has for us as a
church family?
Don't wait! Respond with your thoughts as soon as possible via the online form.
You can also e-mail your thoughts anytime to updates@stonecreekchurch.org.
