Gracious heavenly Father, You have done great things for us
and holy is Your name. For the sake of
Your Son Jesus, hear our prayers:
Because You love justice and hate wrong-doing send Your
blessing upon all those who serve our nation.
Make our court system a place where wisdom and justice prevails. Empower law enforcement officers to act with
wisdom and compassion. Watch over our
military men and women and protect them from danger. Renew in all our fellow citizens a commitment
to good citizenship.
Heavenly Father, You anointed Your Son Jesus Christ to bring
good news to all those in need.
According to Your promise bind up the brokenhearted and comfort those
who mourn and grant liberty to those imprisoned in addictions. Heal those who are ill and meet the needs of
those who do not possess the necessities of life.
We thank You that in the everlasting covenant You have made
with us in the blood of Your Son Jesus Christ You have clothed us with the
garments of salvation and covered us with the robe of His righteousness. Grant that that this would also be true of
our offspring and of the generations who follow us. Especially do we pray for Paeton as he
celebrates a birthday, that You would grant him every blessing of body and
soul.
Fill us with Your Holy Spirit so that we would rejoice
always and pray without ceasing and be thankful in every circumstance for we
know that this is Your will for us. Make
us discerning in what we see and hear and read so that we would hold to what is
good and reject what is evil.
Empower the witness of Your church on earth so that we would
always be witnesses to Your Son Jesus Christ, that others might believe through
us. Support missionaries throughout the
world and grant them success in their labors.
Encourage all those who are persecuted for their faith and turn the
hearts of their enemies.
And now O Lord we pray that You would sanctify us completely
so that our whole spirit and soul and body would be kept blameless at the
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in whose faithful name we pray. Amen.
