DAY 2:

[THANKSGIVING]

Psalm 23

1TheLordis my shepherd,I lack nothing.
2He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3he refreshes my soul.
He guides mealong the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5You prepare a tablebefore me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cupoverflows.
6Surely your goodness and lovewill follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of theLord
forever.

Shepherd Father, we thank You that You are our security, our satisfaction, our confidence, our protection, and the One who provides with abundance. Thank You that everything we need, You provide. And thank You for the promise of being in Your presence forever. In the Name of Jesus, the perfect Lamb of God, Amen.

DAY 3:

[CONFESSION]

Psalm 51:2, 10, 12 Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

Father, we agree with You that we are sinners full of iniquity and in need of Your cleansing. We are motivated by pride and a mind-set that we have to do everything for ourselves and by ourselves. Create a pure heart in us; one that seeks You and lives for You. Restore to us the joy of our salvation. Grant us a willing spirit that is bowed low before You, Almighty God. Let us be sustained by You, not our own efforts. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

DAY 4:

[INTERCESSION]

1 Timothy 2:1-2 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

Heavenly Father, we join our hearts at Grace to pray for President Trump, Vice President Pence, our Congress, and the Supreme Court of America. We pray that the men and women in government in America will seek Your Scripture to find wisdom and to seek to be unified in making the best decisions for all Americans. We trust that You will specifically surround President Trump with godly advisers and people who will encourage him to submit to Your authority and to live by Your principles of Truth. Give him success as the leader of America because he honors You and seeks to please You. Give him Your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual strength to faithfully execute his duties as our President. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

DAY 5:

[INTERCESSION]

Ephesians 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.

Heavenly Father, may each one at Grace Christian Fellowship live in full awareness and confidence that we are satisfied because we are in Jesus. May we live knowing who we are in Jesus: a child of God, one who lives under the Father’s authority, one who is enabled to live because of the filling of the Holy Spirit, and a confident faith follower who has the Word of God to stand upon. Remind us that we don’t face temptations without an answer because we are satisfied in the Father. Let us be the Body of Christ to share God’s lavish and abundant grace to glorify You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

“He is most glorified in me when I am most satisfied in Him.” John Piper

WEEKEND PRAYER FOR OUR PASTOR:

James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

I Kings 4:29 God gave Solomon wisdom and very great insight, and a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand on the seashore.

Proverbs 2:6 For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

Scripture pray for wisdom, based on Romans 11:33-36:

Father, knowing our pastor, David, will be called upon to minister in circumstances that are not so black and white, we ask that You would give him measureless wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and insight. For we know the wisdom of this world is but foolishness and You alone are the source of wisdom.

Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!

How unsearchable his judgments,

and his paths beyond tracing out!

“Who has known the mind of the Lord?

Or who has been his counselor?”

“Who has ever given to God,

that God should repay them?”

For from him and through him and for him are all things.

To him be the glory forever! Amen.
