LET US COME BEFORE HIM
WITH PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING!
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name,
shall humble themselves, and pray,
and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways;
then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.
Psalm 100:1-5
1 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
2 Serve the LORD with gladness:
come before his presence with singing.
3 Know ye that the LORD he is God:
it is he that hath made us,
and not we ourselves;
we are his people,
and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
and into his courts with praise:
be thankful unto him,
and bless his name.
5 For the LORD is good;
his mercy is everlasting;
and his truth endureth to all generations.
Deuteronomy 4:7
What other nation is so great
as to have their gods near them
the way the LORD our God is near us
whenever we pray to him?
Psalm 63:8
Trust in him at all times,
O people; pour out your hearts to him,
God is our refuge.
PRAY FOR THE WORLD
Timothy 2:1-2 :
1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all,
supplications, prayers, intercessions,
and giving of thanks,
be made for all men;
2 For kings, and for all that are in authority;
that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life
in all godliness and honesty.

And the prayer of faith shall save the sick,
and the Lord shall raise him up;
and if he have committed sins,
they shall be forgiven him.

1 Peter 3:12
For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous,
his ears are open unto their prayers:
but the face of the Lord
is against them that do evil.
Harken unto the voice of my cry,
my King, and my God:
for unto thee will I pray.
Psalm 141:2
Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense;
and the lifting up of my hands
as the evening sacrifice.

Now, my God, let, I beseech thee,
thine eyes be open,
and let thine ears be attent
unto the prayer that is made in this place.
Revelation 8:4
And the smoke of the incense,
which came with the prayers of the saints,
ascended up before God
out of the angel's hand.
Father, I ask you to bless my friends reading this
right now. I am asking You to minister to their
spirit at this very moment.
Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy.
Where there is self doubting, release a renewed
confidence in Your ability to work through them.
Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I ask You
to give them understanding, guidance, and strength
as they learn submission to Your leading.
Where there is spiritual stagnation, I ask You to
renew them by revealing Your nearness, and by
drawing them into greater intimacy with You.
Where there is fear, reveal Your love,
and release to them Your courage.
Where there is a sin blocking them,
reveal it, and break its hold over my friend's life.
Bless their finances, give them greater vision,
and raise up leaders and friends to support and
encourage them. Give each of them discernment to
recognize the evil forces around them, and reveal
to them the power they have in You to defeat it. I
ask You to do these things in Jesus' name.
