Our Father in heaven,
We come before you today in prayer, thanking you for the gift of another day, and for the privilege of coming before you in worship. Today, being a Sunday, we recognize the importance and significance of setting this day apart for you, and for the edification of our souls.
Lord, we thank you for the gift of salvation through your son Jesus Christ, and for the hope of eternal life in him. We ask that today, as we gather to worship you, we will experience a fresh outpouring of your Holy Spirit, and that your presence will be felt among us.
We pray for our church leaders, pastors, elders, and all who facilitate worship today, that you will endow them with your wisdom, strength, and guidance to lead us in an attitude of reverence and thanksgiving.
We pray for our families, friends, and loved ones, that you will bless them with good health, prosperity, and long life. We also ask that you draw them closer to you, and that they too may experience the fullness of your love and grace.
Lord, we ask that you heal those who are sick and in pain, and comfort those who are grieving. Bring hope to those who feel hopeless, and guide those who are lost.
Finally, we pray for our nation and leaders, that you grant them wisdom, discernment, and humility. We ask that your will be done in our lives, in our communities, and in our nation, and that we may experience the fullness of your blessings.
We pray all these things in the name of your son Jesus Christ, Amen.
