KINGDOM PRAYERS FOR THE
WEEK OF FEBRUARY 10, 2025
FMC PRAYER: Lord, we lift up those who do not recognize you as their Lord and Savior. We ask that Your Word be presented to them this week through gentleness, conviction, power, understanding, and an overwhelming peace that they have never known before. Teach us to make the most of every opportunity to share the richness of Your salvation and to be the fragrance of Christ to them. Unite us as we stand together against the enemy and his attempts to keep them blinded to Your truth.
SUNDAY’S SCRIPTURE: You Must be Born Again ~ John 3:1-15
FMC ENDSTATE: Throughout the Tri-State Region & Beyond…the wrath of God is feared…In awe and reverence, we come before You, Lord – acknowledging Your holiness and majesty. We know that Your justice is perfect and true and in our frailty, we tremble at the thought of facing Your righteous anger and feeling the weight of our sins.
Thank You, Lord, for the immeasurable love that compelled Your One and Only Son to bear the full weight of our sins upon the cross. In His sacrifice, we see the manifestation of Your mercy and grace, pouring out redemption and forgiveness upon undeserving souls like ours. May Your Spirit continually remind us of the price that was paid for our redemption, that we may walk in gratitude and obedience all the days of our lives.
INVISIBLE CHURCH: Lord, guide our leadership in faithfully shepherding the flock. Thank You, Lord, for the gift of pastors, teachers, and elders. Strengthen their faith and joy in the gospel and help them faithfully and courageously fulfill their ministry of shepherding the church and equipping the saints for ministry. May their prayers be soaked in humility and wisdom as they seek Your guidance on how to love, serve, and encourage this local body to live out their every day lives under Your great commission.
STUDENTS: Father we pray that our students would spend time getting to know You through Your Word. May they long for pure spiritual milk! Grant them a desire for the meat of Your Word so that they will grow into maturity. We ask that You give them a longing to know You better through the reading of their Bibles, and we pray that they will bring their questions to us so we can grow together.
SCRIPTURE: Hebrews 5:12 “For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food!”
CARE: Lord, grant me the gift of empathy this week and reveal to me the wisdom and understanding I need to respond accordingly to those going through hard times. Show me how to be a comforting presence in their lives and offer a listening ear and a compassionate heart. As I strive to empathize with those in need, I pray that You would fill me with the ability to truly comprehend their pain and challenges. Thank You for the opportunity to care for others as You have cared for me.
