PRAYER FOR YOUR CHURCH

Lord, I lift up my elders (church board) to You. Help us respect and honor them as they direct the affairs of our church. May they wholeheartedly give their attention to prayer and ministry of the Word. Keep them above reproach, devoted to their families, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable and able to teach. May they be gentle and honest as they deal with people. (1Tim. 5:17; Acts 6:4; 1 Tim. 3:1-2; Titus 1:7)

Introduction

Introduction

A friend recently stopped by. He was a prayer leader from a church I have spoken at several times in the last five years. I have watched his church and senior pastor grow in their hunger for God through prayer over the past five years. We had a wonderful time of encouraging each other.

Praying Through Your Building

A Sample Chapter from A Year of Prayer Events for Your Church

Create an atmosphere of blessing by praying

through your church building.

“. . . May there be no enemy breaking through our walls, no

going into captivity” (Ps. 144:14, NLT)

The concept behind praying through your church building is similar to the idea behind prayerwalking. You are preparing the way for the presence of the Lord through blessing and intercession. Many churches have teams that pray through their building on a regular basis throughout the year. Some even do it weekly as a way of preparing for the services on Sunday.
