Prayer

Today, we want to encourage you to pray with others or by yourself. Below are some suggestions for prayer as well as some passages to encourage and give you words to pray.

Praise God for his character and his works

Your ways, God, are holy. What god is as great as our God? Psalm 77:13
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever. Psalm 136:1

Confess sin

For the sake of your name, Lord, forgive my iniquity, though it is great. Psalm 25:11
Help us, God our Savior, for the glory of your name; deliver us and forgive our sins for your name’s sake. Psalm 79:9

Thank God for his mercy and grace which we receive in Christ

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

Pray for our city and our mission to make disciples of Christ

But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behaviour in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. 1 Peter 3:15-16

Pray for our leaders and governments

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Saviour, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:1-4

Pray for those who are ill

The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. Psalm 116:5

Pray for those suffering from a recent tragedy

Consider those among us suffering from the loss of loved ones.
Consider those around the world.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18

Pray for a desire to read and hear God’s word.

How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Psalm 119:103

Jeremiah Overview

Prayer

Our Heavenly Father,

You made the heavens and the earth. You sustain and rule over all creation. We praise you because everything exists for your glory, including us. We see glimpses of your glory in the creation around us. We thank you for bright, blue skies and crisp, cold air. We thank you for all the good gifts you give to us for our enjoyment.

Please forgive us for all the times that we seek our own glory. Forgive us for the times where we worship created things rather than the creator. Please forgive us for our selfishness and for the times where we choose sin over holiness.

We thank you for giving your Son for us. Thank you that Jesus paid our debt in full. Thank you that the greatest Son was treated as an enemy so that we who were enemies might become sons and daughters.

We thank you that we can call you ‘Father’. Thank you for adopting us into your family. Thank you for loving us despite all the ways in which we fail to love you. Please forgive us for doubting and questioning your love. Thank you for the love of others that we experience. Please grow us in gratefulness.

As we spend time over the coming months in the book of Jeremiah, please show us afresh the power of your word. Please convict us of sin and cause us to want to repent and change and grow. Please help us to see your calling on our lives to follow Jesus faithfully, no matter the cost. Please grow us so that we will trust you more and be used by you, for your glory.

We thank you that in Jeremiah we’re reminded of your sovereignty, your presence, your protection and the assurance that your word is powerful and true. Please use us, in our weakness, to declare your words of hope to the world.

We pray all these things in the name of Jesus,
Amen
