Dear God, I pray for us, your people, to have a godly reputation, to correctly handle your Word, to be wise with our words and to be graceful. I pray for us to engage with our community in a way that makes the individuals want more of you. I pray we would share your love like we are your love. Grant your people clarity, guidance, wisdom, discernment. May you bless our relationships, as you draw us continually back to you. Help us to connect with each other in a real, honest and transparent way.

May we have a new respect, reverence and awe for you. May everything we do stem from communion with you. Purify us. Make us confident with hope, united in love. Fill us with your Spirit. Show us your glory. Thank you for giving us all we need for life and godliness. Thank you for seating us with you in the heavenly realms. May we be more and more excited to see you in our every day lives and to see your coming!

May you ever be at work in us. Thank you for your plan for each of us. Help us to listen, to be teachable, humble and willing to confess our faults. Thank you for bending down to listen to us. Fill us with compassion and make us the vessels for your will that you would have us to be. May your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

We love you, worship you, adore you, put you before all else and give you ourselves again and again. We want you. Thank you for giving your Son for us and your Spirit to live in us and change us. You are good, no matter what. Thank you for giving us eternal life in knowing you. Thank you for being ours. Spread your Word every where, Lord Jesus. And come soon, Lord Jesus.

Thank you for each person you have made. Thank you for purpose in knowing you. Thank you for freedom where your Spirit is. Thank you for being everything we need. Thank you for answering our prayers and letting the prayers of the righteous be powerful and effective. Thank you for giving us your righteousness and making us right with you. Thank you for protecting us and delivering us from evil. Thank you, Lord, for showing us the way and for being the way the truth and the life. Thank you for your resurrection power.
