Thank you Lord, for the privilege of prayer.  Thank you Lord, for giving us the authority to pray in Jesus’ name.   Thank you Lord, for calling us into the intimate places with you.  Thank you for hearing.  Thank you for answering. 

Come Holy Spirit and pray through me today.  Use me as your intercessor.  Fill me with faith and confidence to approach your throne.  Help me to release your will and your glory.  Let your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Father, we ask you for an open heaven.  Receive our petitions and pour out answers.  (Gen 28:11-17)  We invite your presence to fill the sanctuary.  Show us your glory.  Show us the beauty of your holiness.  Change us to be like you.

Lord, we long to break through into the realms where you are – into your holy throne room.  Open heaven and invite us in.  Open heaven and hear our prayers.  Open heaven and release answers, healings, deliverance, direction, anointing, and enablement.  Father, we ask for an open heaven.

You see the division among us.  You know the source of every offence.  In the name of Jesus I unmask the lies of the enemy and expose his deceptions.  I speak truth to heal and set free every relationship.  Bring things right and seal it with your love.  Make us one Lord, as you are one.  Heal us.  Give us a deep abiding love for one another.  Help us to mature in the fruit of kindness and longsuffering.  Keep us from hurting each other.  Make us one.  Give us the kind of unity that you can bless.  Let forgiveness flow like a gushing river and blast away every hindrance that would hold back your blessing and your favor.

Look on the needs of your people.  Open your hand and provide.  Lord, you see those who need jobs, better jobs, new sources and resources of income and provision.  Open doors and opportunities.  Let your provision rain down and bless the work of our hands.  Lord, I pray for ideas, solutions, and insights.  Open our eyes to the things you have provided and help us to maximize the potential of the things you have already given.  Meet the needs of your people, Lord.  You are our God.  We look to you for provision and answers. 

Lord, help us to teach your people the importance of prayer.  Show us how to motivate them to learn to pray effectively and give them the discipline and desire to get it done.

Lord, we pray for healings.  Father, we pray for a release of divine gifts of healings and miracles.  We take authority over every sickness and disease among us.  We curse the root and seed of cancer.  We speak cleansing to body, soul, and spirit.  Let your healing virtue flow, and flood our congregation and our community.  Heal us for your glory.  Show us your power and your love. 

Father, in everything we think and do and say, let our motives be pure, our attitudes right and our priorities in order.  Help us to fulfill all the potential you’ve placed within us.  Teach us to pray in faith and believe you will hear and answer.  Bring us to a higher place of prayer.  In Jesus name we pray.  Amen.
