Prayer For Heart Revival

Heavenly Father, pour out Your Holy Spirit like a mighty flood into the hearts of all Your people, those who are called by Your name. May our hearts be washed by the water of the Word and may the purifying light of the Holy Spirit cleanse the thoughts, wash the hearts and purify the minds of those who are part of the church, which is Your Body.

Lord, we pray that You would purify the hearts and minds of all Your people so that our thoughts are ever turned toward the Lord Jesus. May we as individual members and also as a body of believers, learn to seek Your will in our lives, so that our prayers are filtered through the light of Your will, so that they are tuned into Your perfect plans and purposes. May the desire of all believers be to lift up Your name so that You are honoured in the fellowships and local churches in His rightful position as Head, and may the Lord Jesus remain the central focus of the intent of our hearts

Lord, we pray that You would revive the hearts of all believers and especially those who have left their first love, become involved in a distorted gospel, fallen into legalism or become lukewarm toward You. Draw each one back into a right relationship with You and with each other. Revive Your people we pray, and turn the hearts of all Your people back to Yourself. In Jesus' name,

Amen.

Christians United In Heart And Voice

Dear Father God, I pray that You will help every member of the Church to live in harmony with each other. May we be united in love and enable us to pray with the mind of Christ, to be guided by the Spirit of God and to glorify You with heart and voice. Keep us from worldly ways, but rather may our lives be a witness of Your love, not only in what we say but in all that we do. I ask this for the sake of Jesus Christ my Lord,

Amen.

Prayer For Grace And Understanding

Heavenly Father, in a world that is becoming more and more alienated from You and increasingly critical of others people, I ask for Your grace and understanding so that I may live godly in Christ Jesus and not be adversely affected by the divisions and disunity that seem to be infiltrating the church body as well as the secular world system.
 
Father, I know that the Bible tells us that in these end days, the love of many will grow cold and it seems that we are living in the midst of a generation that has become cold-hearted, indifferent, unloving and disinterested in their fellow man.
 
Give me the ability to live in this world without being affected by its critical spirit, and give me the understanding and grace to love others as Christ has loved me, to consider the needs and desires of others as before my own and to value other people above myself, even when I am the butt of their criticism. May Jesus be seen in me in all I say and do, and may His love influence all I think and am. I ask this in Jesus' precious name,
 
Amen.

Family Prayers For Daily Grace

Dear Lord Jesus, we thank You for our family and friends and the opportunity of joining together in this time of family worship as we lift up our voices in joyful praise and thanksgiving for all Your goodness and grace to us. Thank You for the opportunity to come before You as a family to offer up our intercessions and prayers.

Forgive us for the times when we have neglected to keep Jesus as the central Person in our lives, and for the times when we have not shown the love of Jesus to one another.
 
Keep us mindful of the need to grow in grace and in a knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus, and teach us all to walk in a godly way, to Your praise and glory.
 
Help us at home and in the wider world to be good and faithful witnesses to the good news of the gospel of grace, and may we individually and as a family reflect the love of Jesus in our lives to Your greater glory. This we ask in Jesus' name,
 
Amen.

Grace From Outside Pressures

Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for the Christian Youth Groups in various towns and churches. I pray for every young member and each leader. Lord, I pray that You would work a mighty work in each of their lives and that You would be glorified in their ministries.

I pray that church youth groups may be a light in a dark place, refreshment in a hurting world, and a true witness to Your saving grace and loving-kindness.

Lord, there are so many young people that are lost, and others that would seek to ridicule and disrupt such Christian Youth Groups, but I pray that in Your grace and mercy, You would bring all those that are seeking the truth to find their way to their local youth ministry, so that they may hear the gospel of grace and be saved.

Give the leaders of such youth fellowhips the grace and wisdom to run their groups without compromise and prevent them from being influenced by the pressures of the world.  I also ask that You would protect these ministries from those that would seek to disrupt or harm them. May the name of Jesus be lifted up and may many be brought into Your kingdom, so that Your name may be glorified. In Jesus' name,

Amen.

Prayer For The Communion Bread And Cup

Thank You, Father, for this precious time of reverent reflection on all that Christ did for us at Calvary. And as we partake of these hallowed symbols at this holy communion table, we humbly take this bread and bless it and break it, and eat it in remembrance of you, for Your own dear body was broken for us. May we continue to feed on You in our hearts, by faith and with grateful thanks from this day forward, and may we walk worthy of our calling in Christ Jesus and live a life that is honouring to You.

And Lord, may we also come to You today in grateful remembrance of what the Lord Jesus Christ achieved on Calvary’s cross for all or us, when He shed His precious blood on the cross, to pay the enormous price of our sin, and became a ransom for many.

We share this cup of blessing in His name, remembering how He Himself took the cup in the upper room, as the hour of His crucifixion drew near and said, "this is My blood which is shed for many – do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."

Thank that for this holy sacrament and may I never approach the communion table in an unworthy manner, knowing that as often we eat this bread and drink the cup, we proclaim the Lord's death until His coming again, in great glory and majesty. Praise Your holy name.

Amen.

Prayer After Receiving Communion

Lord Jesus, what a privilege to be able to come before Your throne of grace and partake of the precious sacraments of bread and wine, in remembrance of Your atoning sacrifice on the cross of Calvary.

Thank You for dying for me on the cross and paying the enormous price for my sins, so that I may be forgiven of all my faults and receive Your indwelling life.

May I never forget the enormous price that was paid on my behalf. May I never forget that I have been bought with a price, the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. May I live for Him from this day on, knowing that Your body was broken and Your blood was spilt for me,

Thank You, Lord. In Jesus' name,

Prayer To Prepare For Communion

Lord, as I come to partake of the bread and the wine, I come in meekness of heart and humility of spirit, knowing that I cannot approach You in my own righteousness, but only because of Your great goodness and gracious mercy, in sending Your only begotten Son, to die on the cross in my place and to pay the price for my sin.

Thank You that You are a tender-hearted God, and that Your nature is always to show mercy to those who are justly deserving of Your wrath and punishment.

As I partake of the symbols of bread and wine, I eat and drink in remembrance of Him Who died for me and rose again, knowing that He has become to me, both my meat and my drink. Help me to live in newness of life and to walk worthy before You all the days of my life. This I ask in Jesus' name,

Prayer Of Thanks And Wonder At Christ's Birth

Heavenly Father, what an astonishing happening took place on that first Christmas morning when the eternal Son of God was born into the human race as the perfect Son of Man, and was clothed in a Body of human flesh, a body that the Father had prepared for Him so that He could become our perfect Kinsman-Redeemer, and save a lost race of sinners from eternal separation from their Creator.

It staggers the understanding that He should be born to die, so that we could be reborn to live. How we praise You Father at the wonder of it all, and we thank You that the good news of great joy which was proclaimed to men on earth, should be that Child Who was born of Mary and the Son Who was given by the Father should be called Jesus, Saviour.

Help me never to lose the child-like wonder of the glory of that first Christmas morning, when my God and Saviour was born to die for me. I will praise Your name through time and into eternity, for You alone are worthy of all honour and praise. In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen.

Thank You for all my family, my parents and children and all the friends that I have come to love over the years, many of whom are with You now in glory.

Thank You most of all, for sending Your precious Son, the Lord Jesus Christ to come to earth as a little baby, so that He could live His life as an example to us all on how to live a life that is pleasing to You. But I thank You especially Lord, that He came as my Saviour, who laid down His life for me, and became the finished sacrifice for the sin of the whole world, which He paid for in full with His own life-blood. Oh Lord, thank You.

Lord, as I face another year, I ask that You would be with me to lead and guide. Give me the strength and wisdom I need as I pass through the inevitable challenges that this year will bring. And I pray that day be day, You would draw me ever closer into Your loving arms, so that I may know You more and love You better. In Jesus' name I pray,

Draw me very close to Yourself at this time Lord I pray. I need You.

Help me Lord, to come to terms with this tragic death and help me I pray, to face the future with courage. And Lord, although I doubt that You will ever fully answer my question, “why”, yet I pray that You will give me an understanding heart. Help me to come to terms with what has happened. Be my comfort, my strength and my hope in Whom I trust. In Jesus' name I pray,

The Death Of A Believer


Loving Lord, I am filled with grief and sadness at the loss of my precious loved one, and yet that pain is tinged with gold, knowing that they trusted you as their Saviour and that they are now in Your presence.

Prayer To Remove Fear About Death

Dear Heavenly Father, at times I become quite fearful about the prospect of death and dying and Lord, I pray that You would help me to overcome this fear and enable me to see death from a heavenly perspective.

A Prayer For Personal Holiness

Thank You, Father, that You have called me out of darkness into Your marvellous light and set me free from slavery to sin and released me from bondage to fear.

Thank You for breathing the new resurrection life of Christ into my very being, and for taking up permanent residence within my heart.

Prayer For Strength To Resist Temptations


Dear Lord Jesus, I ask for Your strength and help to resist ungodly temptations and not to give in, knowing that to do is not to glorify You and does me nothing but emotional and spiritual harm.

Help me to take every tempting thought captive and hand it over to You before it takes a hold of me and does harm to me or to other people. Help me in my weakness to know You as my strength, and help me in my foolishness to know You as my wisdom. Help me I pray, to resist all forms of temptation and give me the strength to say no and walk away from temptation, especially when there are others involved, who directly or indirectly, willingly or unknowingly. are encouraging my downfall. And deliver me Lord I pray, from habits that are entrapping and enslaving me in actions that are detrimental to my spiritual health and walk.

Replace the thoughts that tempt and tease me with those that turn my focus on Jesus, and help me in all things and learn to say, "Thy will not mine be done." In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen.

Wed, Mar 5, 2025 – Thu, Apr 17, 2025

Lent is the solemn Christian religious observance in the liturgical year commemorating the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the desert and enduring temptation by Satan, according to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, before beginning his public ministry.

Jesus Tempted at the Wilderness

Matthew 4:1-11 King James Version
4 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.

3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,

6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

Who is the Angel of the Lord ?

The Angel of the Lord is the pre-incarnate appearance of Jesus. Old Testament appearances of Jesus are called 'Christophanies'. As the Angel of the Lord He appeared 10 times in the Old Testament.

Old Testament Appearances:
1. He wrestled with Jacob - Gen. 32:24-30

2. He appeared to Jacob and redeemed him from all evil - Gen. 48:16

3. He appeared to Moss in the burning bush - Exod. 3:2

4. At the red sea He protected israel - Exod. 14:19

5. He guided and prepared Israel for the promised land - Exod. 23:20-23; Isa. 63:9;

6. He gave assurance to Joshua - Josh. 5:13-15

7. He appeared to Gideon - Judg. 6:11-12

8. He helped Elijah - 1 Kings 19:7

9. He saved Jerusalem from the Assyrian army - Isa. 37:36

10. He protected Daniels three friends in the furnace - Dan. 3:25


Thank you all for Reading

Why is Christ the angel of the Lord ?

The Angel of the Lord Fulfills the same role as Christ: The Bible says "no one has seen God at any time," But Christ, who is God the second person of the trinity, has revealed exactly what God is like. If we want to know more about God then we look to Jesus. The Angel of the Lord fulfills the same roll as mediator between man and God, both in the Old Testament and the New. After Jesus incarnation, the angel of the Lord is no longer mentioned.

The Angel of the Lord Identifies Himself as God: The Angel of the Lord is also called names which God reserves for Himself alone. When the Angel of the Lord appeared in the burning bush (Ex 3:2), He is called "the LORD (Yahweh)" (Exodus 3:. The Angel of the Lord also appeared to Abraham who called Him "Lord (Yahweh)" (Genesis 18:1). In Genesis 18 there were three angels who visited Abraham but when the other two left to go to Sodom, Abraham was left standing next to the "LORD" (Genesis 18:22). Similarly the Angel of the Lord identifies Himself as "wonderful" to Manoah's wife (Judges 13:18) - Jesus is the "wonderful counselor" (Isaiah 9:6). The angel of the Lord also answered Manoah's wife prayer which she had "prayed to the LORD." (Judges 13: He also received worship which no angel (apart from Satan) would do. John was rebuked by an Angel when he fell at it's feet in worship, the angel told John to only "worship God." Jesus received worship and so did the angel of the Lord.(Joshua 5:14-15)

The Angel of the Lord is a different person than the LORD: Even though the Angel of the Lord is identified as LORD (Yahweh), He is a different person than the LORD. In Zecharia 1:12-13 He speaks to the "Lord Almighty." This is an example of the Son speaking to the Father, just like in Psalm 110:1, or the Father speaking to the Son in Psalm 45:6 (CF Hebrews 1: Therefore in light of the three points above, the Angel of the Lord has to be Christ.

A Prayer In Times Of Loneliness And Depression

Lord, I feel so lonely at times that I am becoming more and more depressed. I find that I am trying to fill my life with activities and people, which do not address the root issue of my loneliness or what I am going through, and which leave me even more depressed.

Lord, I know that You have promised to help the afflicted and set free those that are all alone in families. I pray that You would do just that in my life, so that I may rediscover the joy of my salvation and overcome the depression that sweeps over me so often, when I find that I am on my own and have no one to talk to.

You have promised to help the afflicted and to comfort those that are hurting. Turn Your loving-kindness towards me at this time I pray, comfort my hurting soul and renew a right spirit within me. This I ask in Jesus' name,

Amen.
