PRAYER SUGGESTIONS – JULY AND AUGUST 2021

Our Father in Heaven: Approach God with joy (Psalm 100 v 2) – he’s your Father – and with reverence (Psalm 100 v 3) – he’s in Heaven. Marvel that Jesus, God’s Son, includes us in his family with the words “our Father” (Matthew 6 v 9).

Hallowed be your name: Meditate on God’s holiness and the supremacy of his name: Philippians 2 v 9 & 10, Isaiah 9 v 6, Psalm 75 v 1, Zechariah 14 v 9, Nehemiah 9 v 5, Proverbs 18 v 10.

Your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven: Pray your concerns about God’s church locally and globally, our country, the turmoil in the world, political upheaval, the pandemic, injustice and strife.

Give us today our daily bread: Pray for all your needs, that your Father will clothe you (Colossians 3 v 12 & 13), feed you physically and spiritually, guide you, bless you and enable you to bless others.

Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors: Clear your conscience before God often. Confess sin and receive complete forgiveness; his perfect love covers all wrongs (Proverbs 10 v 12). Take seriously your part in forgiving (Matthew 6 v 14 & 15, Matthew 18 v 21 – 35). Remember what forgiveness cost God (2 Corinthians 5 v 21 and 8 v 9).

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: Ask for God’s protection over you and the people you love and pray for (Psalm 3, Psalm 5 v 8, 2 Timothy 4 v 18).

For yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory for ever: Spend time praising, blessing, worshipping, thanking and glorifying God (Psalm 34 v 1 – 3, Revelation 7 v 12, Romans 11 v 33 – 36, Psalm 150 v 1 & 2).
