Prayer On June 20 2006

Adoration

Lord you are covered with truth and integrity. The entire universe is like a house to you where you can visit when you wish and leave when you will. The wind, the sky, and the stars are but aspects of that home. You are totally Soveriegn over all the aspects of your creation. Your greatness is almost beyond the human mind to know. You can flood the earth or keep it from being flooded. You created all of this with the greatest degree of scientific and philosophical wisdom. You own every atom of creation. You are my heavenly Father. You can be trusted. Lord, open my eyes to your greatness.

Confession

Forgive me for not speaking when I should speak. Forgive me for wanting things to be simple when they are complex. Forgive me for seeing things as complex when they are simple. Lord, forgive me for lacking courage as a leader. Forgive me for not being a better father, husband, and brother. Forgive me for not finding balance and striving to overcome unfaithfulness with an excessive schedule. Teach me your ways. Help me be the leader you have made me. You have put these things in my hand. Forgive me for seeing what you have not put in my hand without seeing what you have put in my hand. Give to me a practical repentance.

Renewal

Lord, help me to seek you with a passionate heart. My exhustion keeps me from feeling the energy to seek you. Help me to love you more for you are worthy of all my love. Help me to see your loving kindness towards me that I might trust you more. Forgive me my lack of trust. Break up that part of my heart that has not produced fruit for your kingdom and make of it a garden. Plant in me the word of life and allow me to become a source of your life to others. Have mercy on me a sinner. For the sake of your name bless me.

Petition

Lord, help me have greater compassion upon others. Help me not use the pain of the past as a reason to not open my heart to others today. Help my family have true faith. Help us to grow in our understanding of what you desire. Help my family know regeneration, renewal, reformation, and revival. Grant these gifts to my heart as well. We can do nothing without you Lord Jesus. Help me know how to evangelize as you would evangelize in my place and time. Help me to want to evangelize. Help me to have faith in evangelization. Lord bless the phone cal with Andy today. Bless my breakfast with Alex. Allow the seminar to be of worth to my ministry. Let me hear what I need to hear to grow. Lord help our new worship service.

Intercession

Lord, have mercy on your people.
