We come before the throne of grace with hearts full of gratitude for the revelation of Jesus Christ as the promised Anointed One, the Son of the Living God, just as Peter confessed in Matthew 16:16-17. It is not by human wisdom or understanding that we know Him, but by the divine revelation of the Father in heaven. We rejoice in this truth, for it is the foundation of our faith and the cornerstone of our salvation.
Father, we humbly ask for a fresh revelation of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Open our eyes to see Him more clearly, our hearts to love Him more deeply, and our minds to understand His will more fully. As we abide in Him, may we bear much fruit, for apart from Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5). We long to remain connected to the true vine, that Your love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control may be evident in our lives, as described in Galatians 5:22-23.
We confess that at times, we have neglected our first love, and for this, we repent. Draw us nearer, Lord, as we draw near to You (James 4:8). Renew in us a steadfast spirit and restore the joy of Your salvation (Psalm 51:12). Help us to tend our gardens, to husband our vines, and to take care of our own vineyards, that we may be fruitful and productive in our knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:8).
Father, we ask for wisdom, power to obey, authority over the enemy, and spiritual gifts, but we pray that these would never come without a deep, abiding relationship with You, the cultivation of godly character, and the fruit of the Spirit. May we never seek power or gifts for their own sake, but always for the glory of Your name and the edification of Your body.
We are called to shepherd the flock of God among us, exercising oversight not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have us; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not domineering over those in our charge, but being examples to the flock (1 Peter 5:2-3). Equip us, Lord, to fulfill this calling with humility, love, and integrity. May our lives and ministry result in the conversion of sinners, as David prayed in Psalm 51:13, and in deep, authentic fellowship with You and with one another (1 John 1:1-3).
We commit ourselves to making disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to observe all that Jesus commanded (Matthew 28:19-20). May the fruit of our labor remain, connected "in Christ," and may we always point others to Him, the author and perfecter of our faith.
We thank You, Father, for the privilege of coming before You in the name of Jesus, our Savior and Lord. It is only through Him that we have access to You, and it is only in His name that we find salvation. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). We pray all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
YOU are BLESSED!!! (Why, one asks)??? Because flesh and blood did not reveal that JESUS is The Promised Anointed One, The Son of The Living God, but My Father in heaven, Matt 16:16-17... Father -- We cannot "figure out" the glory of The Messiah with gray matter 
... We ask YOU for revelation of Jesus, that Jesus reveals You to us, and The Holy Spirit FILLS US with His LOVE, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, GAL 5:22-23, Fruit, Wisdom, Power to Obey, Authority over demons/the devil, and gifts -- in that order (whatever seems best to You -- Just PLEASE no power or gifts without relationship, character and fruit). We ask for the nearness of Your Presence -- James 4:8, first love renewals, Rev 2:4, "help us take care of our own vineyards," Song 1:6, "tend our gardens," Gen 2:15, "husband our vines" -- "I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman," Jn 15:1... Help us "shepherd the flock of God among us," 1 Pet 5:2. Let it result in conversion of sinners, Ps 51:13, fellowship with the Father, Son, Spirit and Body of Believers, 1 Jn 1:1-2, 3, discipleship and lasting fruit that remains connected "IN CHRIST" and teaches everything He said, Matt 28:19-20. Thank You in Jesus' Name
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
