PRAYER FOR YOUR CHURCH

Prayer Focus 

 

Lord, I lift up the prayer focus in my church. Make us into a house of prayer. We desire to be clear-minded and self-controlled so that we can pray first, always, continually and thankfully. May everyone recognize that this is Your desire for all and not just a few. Use us to stand in the gap for others. Let there be prayer ministry among us that is powerful and effective. (Mk. 11:17; 1 Pet. 4:7; 1 Tim. 2:1; Eph. 6:18; 1 Thes. 5:17; Phil. 4:6; Ps. 32:6; Ezk. 22:30; Jas. 5:16)

Praying the Christmas Story

Focus: The Christmas Story using Christmas Hymns and Carols

Format: 

  1. Begin each segment with a scripture reading relevant to the theme of that segment.
  2. Sing at least one verse of a Christmas hymn or carol
  3. Facilitate prayers launched from the scripture or the story of the song

Segments: Scripture / Song / Emphasis

Luke 2:15
  "O Come All Ye Faithful"
   Express our desire to seek Him, praise Him…

Micah 5:2
  "O Little Town of Bethlehem"
   Welcome Jesus into our gathering, our lives . . .

Luke 2:8
  "Silent Night, Holy Night"
   Prayers declaring Christ as Savior, redeemer . . .

Psalm 98: 4, 9
  "Joy to the World"
   Intercede for empty hearts to make room for Jesus . . .

Luke 2:17
  "Go Tell it on the Mountain"
   Fill us, empower us, send us . . .

Note: We are sorry we didn't send this prayer meeting idea in November, so you could use it this Christmas season. Perhaps store it away for next year--or use it at your next prayer time as a way to relive and "re-pray" Christmas.
