God I pray that you will bless this ministry. Lord I pray that you will bless the fourty days of focus. I pray that you will move amoung us. Allow use to feel your presence and reveal your will for use. I pray a special blessing upon our church family and everyone individual in our community. May our prayers affect the lives that join our community. Make us aware of your majesty. Show the plans you have for our life. Make us pure and holy. Thank you for the blood of Jesus that frees us to seek your face. Amen
Lord, it is amazing how different and better I feel already. I pray that I will not grow weak and give up this effort to focus on you. Help me persevere. I want to give my life over to you totally. I pray that our church will be changed as a result of this experience. I pray that my attitude toward certain people will be changed to an attitude of love. Help me to be strong and to bring glory to YOU. Thanks for the joy and peace you have given me this morning.
This will be a severe test of faith and willingness to be maintain focus on what is trully important. The amount of effort will show up in the results and any who give an earnest effort will be rewarded.
Michelle sent this neat excerpt to me. I hope it "blesses" your prayer life.
It's easy for my mind to wander during prayer. One way I counteract this is by using the acronym B-L-E-S-S as I pray for my family and friends. Each letter in the acronym stands for a key area of life: Body, Labor, Emotional, Social, and Spiritual.
For example, for our son, Chris, who's now a Navy doctor, I prayed today: "Lord, bless Chris's body; strengthen and protect him during his deployment. Bless Chris's labor; give him wisdom as he cares for the Marines' medical needs and injuries. Bless Chris's emotional life; help him trust you concerning his and his wife Maggie's move to Hawaii. Father, bless Chris's social relationships; bring him a Christian friend on the ship while he's deployed. And bless Chris's spiritual life; help him draw near to you and your Word ore each day."
