We join with you in this beautiful desire to worship in spirit and truth and to walk in wisdom before the Lord, and we thank God for the hunger you have expressed for His nearness and His will.
We rejoice that the Father seeks true worshipers who will worship Him in spirit and truth, as it is written, But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers John 4:23. We agree with you to draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need Heb 4:16.
We pray together for the wisdom to walk worthy of the Lord, that we may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, to walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy Col 1:9-11. We ask the Father for that Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, that the eyes of our hearts may be enlightened Eph 1:17, and that He would open our minds that we might understand the Scriptures Luke 24:45, as we give diligence to present ourselves approved by God, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth 2 Tim 2:15.
We thank Him with you for the promise that if we draw near to God, he will draw near to us James 4:8, and we ask Him to renew our first love where it has grown cold Rev 2:4, and to give us grace to keep our own vineyards Song 1:6 and to tend and keep the gardens He has entrusted to us Gen 2:15. We ask for clarity and order, for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace 1 Cor 14:33, that there would be happy grace for daily chores and wisdom for pressing needs, learning also to maintain good works for necessary uses, that we may not be unfruitful Titus 3:14.
We pray for fellowship with the Trinity and with one another, that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ 1 John 1:3, and for our teams, for we are God's fellow workers 1 Cor 3:9, including family, friends and even the lost for whom we make intercession and thanksgiving, for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth 1 Tim 2:1-4. We ask to be kept in simplicity and the purity that is toward Christ 2 Cor 11:3, abiding in Him, that if we remain in Him and His words remain in us, we will ask whatever we desire, and it will be done for us, and in this our Father is glorified, that we bear much fruit and so prove to be His disciples John 15:7-8.
We also agree together for angelic ministry and protection, for He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways Ps 91:11, for are they not all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation Heb 1:14, and for the bold proclamation of repentance and remission of sins in His name to all the nations Luke 24:47, with faith and assurance, that believing we may have life in His name John 20:31, and know that we have eternal life 1 John 5:13. We ask for the restoration of the joy of our salvation, that with a willing spirit He would uphold us and we would teach transgressors His ways, and sinners would be converted to Him Ps 51:12-13.
And we join you in asking for protection from all temptation and evil, and to deliver us from the evil one Matt 6:13, John 17:15, and to keep us from putting any stumbling block in a brother's way Rom 14:13, that we cause no one to stumble 1 Cor 10:32, and to guard us from sin, evil people, imposters and deception 2 Tim 3:13.
We thank You, Heavenly Father, that we can come only through the one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus 1 Tim 2:5, our Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek Ps 110:4, Heb 7:17. We ask all these things in the holy and precious name of Jesus Christ our Lord, trusting Your perfect will to be done. Amen.
