4. A Prayer For Your Church

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for Your Church. It is such a comfort to know that You are building Your Church and that the gates of hell cannot prevail against it. Even in our failings, and our shortcomings as people, we cannot ultimately hinder the work that You set out to do.

I want to pray, especially for my church, and the body of believers who attend week in and week out. I pray that every person in our church would truly examine their walk with You, and turn their hearts to You completely.

May our church seek only to honor You, and avoid the influences of the world and its ways. Help our church to base all we do off of Your Word, and to do our best to remain faithful to Your Word. Help us bear with one another in love, and to have the things that matter most in common. In Jesus’ name, amen.

5. A Prayer For Your Community

Father in Heaven,

You have created us to be people who live in community with one another, and who are relational. I want to thank You for my community, and those who live all around me. Though I may not know everyone, You know each person by name and care for them.

My prayer is that Your love would be made known in this community, and that we would be a community who seek Your face, and depend on You. Help those in our community who are struggling with various issues and troubles in life. May they find peace and freedom in You.

I ask that You turn the hearts of our community from worldliness to Christ. May they come to see and know Christ as their treasure, and may our community be transformed in both our deeds and how we treat one another. In Jesus’ name, amen.

6. A Prayer For Our Country

Dear God,

My heart goes out to our country today. There is so much that happens each day, and even more that we have no idea about. It can be easy to get overwhelmed, discouraged or fearful when you watch the news or look around to see what is happening to our country.

Though we may feel powerless at times, I know that You do not lack any power and that all things are possible for You. There is not a single thing that happens that You are not aware of, or that is not within Your sovereign reign.

My prayer is that the hearts of this nation would turn to You. I pray for every leader, that You would grant them wisdom, and help them to lead with integrity. May our country find rest in turning to Christ, who alone can satisfy our hearts and heal our land. In Jesus’ name, amen.

7. A Prayer For Unbelievers

Lord,

Thank You for mercies that are new each day. As long as it is today, we have the opportunity to know You more or to turn to You for the first time. I think of all those who are lost today, just as I was once lost.

I ask that Your light of grace would shine upon their hearts and open their eyes to the glory of Christ. May they come to know the mercy of Christ and His love that He not only displayed for them on the cross, but that is available to them each day.

Please use me as an instrument to lead others to You, and to share the good news of the gospel with them. May Your Holy Spirit work in the hearts of unbelievers, and set them free from the bondage of sin, to the freedom we have in Christ. In Jesus’ name, amen.

8. A Prayer For Strong Marriages

Father,

I want to pray for all the marriages out there today. Marriage is such a beautiful and sacred gift, yet it can be tough in many ways as two people with different personalities, backgrounds, strengths, and weaknesses come together.

It is sad to see how many marriage vows have been broken, and my prayer is that You be the center of marriages all around. Help couples go into marriage with a biblical view of marriage that seeks to love and serve one another, rather than what they can gain from it.

I ask that You strengthen the marriages around us, and as a result that children and communities would be strengthened too. Help husbands to lead their families in a God-honoring way, and help wives to be the help-mates that You have called them to be. In Jesus’ name, amen.

9. A Prayer To Strengthen Families

Dear Lord,

Thank You for the gift of family. The family is the foundation of our society and is such an important part of our daily lives. It is so evident the difference it makes when families are strong, and how it affects every person who is a part of it.

My prayer today is that You would strengthen the families in our community. May they have healthy communication with one another, and respect each other as people made in the image of God. May families confide in each other, and build trust with one another.

May the families in our community be rooted in Scripture, and devote themselves to prayer and the reading of Your Word. May their relationship bonds be strengthened, and may their families be a light and encouragement to those who meet them. In Jesus’ name, amen.

10. A Prayer For Your Grandchildren

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for my precious grandchildren. Every one of them is such a blessing to me, and I cannot thank You enough for placing them in my life. I pray for their parents, that You would be with them, and guide them in their parenting, and instruction of their children.

I ask that You help them to raise my grandchildren with patience, grace, and conviction. Help provide them with the strength that they need to raise their children, and to teach them Your ways. May my grandchildren grow up knowing and loving You.

Please protect my grandchildren from the influences of the world, and help them to be a light to those around them. Keep them safe from any harm, and provide them with friends who are good influences. In Jesus’ name, amen.

11. A Prayer To Live Out Your Purpose

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for giving me new life in Christ. I am grateful to know that my life is not my own and that I belong to Jesus. Please help me to live each day with the reminder that Christ has bought me with a price, and that I no longer live for myself but for Him.

I ask that You would help me to live out the commands that You have given me. Help me to make disciples, and to share the gospel with others. Show me opportunities to use the gifts that You have given me to serve others, and to glorify You.

Please help me to trust You in every season of life. When it seems like things are coming together, or when my own plans have been frustrated. Help me to seek Your guidance, and to live out the purpose that You have given me. In Jesus’ name, amen.
