Title: Prayers For The Church
Memorize: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Ephesians 6:18
Bible Reading: Acts 2:46-47
[46] And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
[47] Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
Prayers:
[1] Father, I thank You for all the ministers of the gospel. Please Lord, help them to do Your will and do what they preach always.
[2] Father, please correct every erring leader in Your love and help them to make amends where necessary.
[3] Father, please banish lukewarmness and filthiness from Your church.
[4] Father, please put an end to corruption within the body of Christ. Let the church continue to stand strong and sure.
[5] Father, please let the wind of revival blow and empower Your church to take the gospel to the ends of the earth.
[6] Father, please keep poverty away from the members of my local assembly.
[7] Father, please supply every need in Your church.
[8] Father, please help us to be united and live in peace with one another as a church.
[9] Father, on the last day, please let every member of my local assembly be among those who will be raptured with You.
Confession:
The church is marching on; the gates of hell will not prevail against it!

HYMN 22 SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER! SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER!
1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
that calls me from a world of care,
and bids me at my Father’s throne
make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
my soul has often found relief,
and oft escaped the tempter’s snare
by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
the joys I feel, the bliss I share
of those whose anxious spirits burn
with strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
where God my Savior shows his face,
and gladly take my station there,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
thy wings shall my petition bear
to him whose truth and faithfulness
engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since he bids me seek his face,
believe his word, and trust his grace,
I’ll cast on him my every care,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
