Prayer Guide 31 July 2022
Sunday
Quiet your heart before you begin. Ask God to give you a willing spirit to hear and respond to His voice – to do His will. (Psalm 51:12, James 1:22)
Father, thank You for Your great mercy and love for me! Continue to help me to understand by the power of Your Spirit, the magnitude of Your compassion. May it compel me to live in such a way that is holy and pleasing to You, that I might worship You in all I do (Pause and pray further).
Forgive me Lord, for allowing complacency to enter into my walk with You and pave the way in my heart for conformity to the things of this world, rather than conformity to the likeness of Jesus. Open my eyes, Lord! May the Holy Spirit with all of His convicting power, reveal and uncover the hidden places of my life that are more like the world than like Christ.
Forgive me:
Father, I do not want to be conformed any longer to the patterns of this world – I want to be shaped by You! Renew my mind, I pray. I invite Your Holy Spirit to change the very way I think – cleanse my thoughts O Lord!
Empower me, prompt me by Your Spirit to turn off or walk away from the noise of this world and feast on You. Give me a fresh hunger for Your Word, I pray. May I be disciplined in my pursuit of You in the way I live, in my speech, and what I allow my mind to dwell upon. Do this I pray, that I might be able to know what is Your good, pleasing and perfect will, and live in such a way that is worthy of bearing Your name.
Strengthen me to obey, Father, for my spirit is willing but my flesh is weak, and I confess my great need of You alone. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Forgive me:
For giving into hopelessness and despair as I listen to the unfolding of world events and allow Your greatness and sovereignty to diminish.
For the ways that I have accepted the standard of the world as true in regards to conduct, speech and morality, instead of the standard of Your Word.
For allowing myself to be caught up in the frenzied pace of this world and the desire for more of what will not last or satisfy, while ignoring what is eternal.
O gracious Father, forgive me (Pause and pray further).

Monday
Father, transform us by the renewing of our minds that we might not be conformed any longer to the patterns of this world. May we become increasingly radical in our desire for holiness and guard our every thought (Romans 12:1-2).
Keep us from pride that kills the work of Your Spirit and hardens our hearts to Your voice calling us to ‘run home’ to You. Give to us, I pray, the gift of brokenness and repentance. May we be clothed in humility (Luke 15:11-32; 1 Peter 5:5).
May ‘first love passion’ for Jesus be restored in our fellowship – Revive us I pray (Psalm 85:6)!

Destroy every deed of darkness among us and may we put on the armour of light, clothing ourselves with Jesus only! Reveal the hidden things Father! Purify us and make us holy (Romans 12:9; 13:12-14)!
May we not resist the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives Lord! Keep conforming us to the image of Jesus (Romans 8:29).
I ask Father, that the seeds of the Gospel that have been sown into the nation of Thailand for many decades, would be watered by Your Spirit, spring forth and produce spiritual fruit! Give us a harvest of souls!

Prayer and Fasting Focus
Praise God for His great love for us! Thank Him, that because we are in Christ, He has removed our sin from us, as far as the east is from the west!

May those who minister among us be reminded and encouraged that their labour for You is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58) (Pray for those in our fellowship that you know, by name).
