KINGDOM PRAYERS FOR THE
WEEK OF MARCH 17, 2025
FMC PRAYER: Father, this week we lift up our student ministry team and the students who attend FMC. May our leaders constantly set an example in their speech, life, love, faith, and purity. Help them to be alive and active in Your Word, and prayerful over-comers to any opposition that comes their way. Help our students develop spiritual discernment as they navigate their every day life and the relationships they will form this coming year. May Your Spirit move mightily Lord!
SUNDAY’S SCRIPTURE: John 16: Exhortation
FMC ENDSTATE: Throughout the Tri-State Region & Beyond…praise and prayer erupt…Father, we know that heaven is a place where You are surrounded by praise (Psalm 11:4). Yet Your ultimate dwelling place is WITH Your people!
“Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and He will dwell with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God” (Revelation 21:3)
Thank you for inhabiting the praises of Your people and for always listening to the cry of our hearts.
INVISIBLE CHURCH: Lord, deepen my faith and joy in the glories of Your gospel. Father, You know the multitude of sins I have committed in my life and even this past week. Help me hate my sin more and grow in grace as I contemplate what Christ has done to forgive me and free me from sin’s death grip. Open the eyes of my heart to see the glorious hope we have in Christ, Your love for all of the saints, and Your power at work in us who believe (Ephesians 1:18-21). Cause my heart to burn within me as we celebrate the gospel in song, learn and apply the gospel through the preached Word, and see the gospel in baptism and communion.
STUDENTS: Father, when the pressures of peer influence or the fear of being different arise, give them the strength to remain steadfast in their faith. Remind them that “we are more than conquerors through him who loved us” (Romans 8:37). Help them to stand firm in their convictions, knowing that they are never alone because You are always with them.
CARE: God Almighty – thank You for dwelling in our hearts and minds, acting through our fingers, toes, and voices. Please heal our brokenness and gently lead us back to You. Lord please bring warmth and peace to those who desperately need Your physical touch today. In Your Son’s blessed name – we ask all these things. Amen.
