1、The Valley of Vision  – Puritan Prayers

……Let me see thy love everywhere,
not only in the cross,
but in the fellowship of believers
and in the world around me.
When I feel the warmth of the sun
may I praise thee who art the Sun of righteousness
with healing power.
When I feel the tender rain
may I think of the gospel showers
that water my soul ……

10/18/20 Sunday

Oh Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. You are the lord that shines in the darkness and guides us through the valley of evil. We feel no fear because you are always at our side.

We have gathered in your tabernacle to bring our praise and thanksgiving. We are not worthy to receive you, but accept our prayers in your name. Bless us as our bible study progresses and grant our petitions in Jesus’ name. Amen

Pray That They Will Know God

God has honored and in many instances has answered the fervent prayers of believers for the salvation of unbelievers. Believers are commanded to pray in various ways for all people. We know from Scripture that in order to lead godly and reverent lives in peace and to please God with their supplication and prayers, we are called to pray for the salvation of all. When we do this, It’s important that we pray that unbelievers will know God: Dear Lord, in John 17:3, it says, “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” Jesus was praying that people come to know You, our only means to eternal salvation. Today I choose to pray as Jesus did and ask that You help those who have yet to give their lives to Christ. May Your love and power reveal themselves to the nonbelievers, so that they will someday know You! in the name of Jesus, Amen.

10/8/20 Thursday

Blessed Lord, we are gathered today before your throne. We are unworthy of your goodness, but through the grace of Jesus, may we be glorified in your name. Oh, Lord, we come to you asking for forgiveness. May we be sanctified and made holy through you. As we continue our bible study and conclude opening prayers, may your presence overshadow us as we feel your blessings. in the name of Jesus, Amen

Pray That God Will Remove the Enemy’s Influence

Since the dawn of time, the enemy has been out there scheming to take down the believer and those who don’t know Christ. We can’t see him, but this does not mean he’s not there. The devil whispers those lofty temptations into our spiritual ears and into our minds. It’s important that we pray for Satan’s influence to be removed from their life: Dear Lord, it is scary to know that unbelievers have been blinded by Satan. In 2 Corinthians 4:4 it says, “In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” How will they ever know You if they are blind? I pray that they are able to see and appreciate the gospel by You working within them. I pray God that You give them opportunities to see the light and glory of Jesus Christ. Bless them with the spiritual sight needed to break the influence that Satan has taken over them. in the name of Jesus, Amen.

10/7/20 Wednesday

Blessed Lord, you are the king of heaven and earth. All of heaven sings of your glory. You do wonders on earth and in heaven. We see the work of your hands as we gather in worship today. Accept our prayers in Jesus’ name. Do not forsake us as we strive to live our lives in honor of you. We have gathered in fellowship in your presence. Come down and allow us to feel your presence. As we continue today’s bible study, we want to feel your great power and light. Let us encounter you in a new way and bless us in our lives. May we find everlasting joy through you. in the name of Jesus, Amen

Father God, I know that “no one can come to [Jesus] unless the Father . . . draws them” (John 6:44). I ask that You draw ______our loved ones_______ to Your Son, that they may know You personally and spend eternity with You. in the name of Jesus, amen

10/5/20 Monday

Holy Father and maker of heaven and earth you have made all things according to your word. God of flesh, you have made us the head of creation. We are here to worship you and praise your name. May our worship be accepted by you. Let us ride on the wings of our praises and refresh our spirits in you. As we begin today, guide us toward your will. in the name of Jesus, Amen

10/4/20 Sunday

Mighty God, you rule majestically from your throne. We bow before you and sing of your righteousness. Glorify us in Jesus’ name. We, your children, gather before you and call upon you this day. Come and manifest your presence. Bring the wonder of your strength and power as you visit us today. May our gathering be blessed through Jesus. in the name of Jesus, Amen

dear heavenly father, thank you for our daily dose of spiritual connection by reading your words together. as always I would like to read a salvation prayer now…

There is scriptural basis for praying on behalf of the unsaved. “The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective” (James 5:16), and “the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer” (1 Peter 3:12). There is incredible power in prayer. God indeed hears the cries of His children. We know what happens to those who die in their sins, and that knowledge alone should prompt us to pray incessantly for our unsaved acquaintances in the hope that they, too, will respond to God’s call and join us in heaven. in the name of Jesus, Amen.

10/3/20 Saturday

Hosanna to the king of Glory. We sing all of your praises and we glorify your name. We gather in your presence and bow before you. We have come to refresh our souls with your presence. You have promised that all who call upon your name will be saved. Your children call upon you to save us from sin, hardship and poverty. Guide us to you in each step we take in our lives’ journeys. in the name of Jesus, Amen

Psalm 23:6 states that “Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” We will forever dwell with the good shepherd now and for eternity. His grace and mercy endures forever. This empower us to be victors now. It’s important that we pray for God’s mercy to be extended in their life: Dear Lord, I know that it is Your deepest wish to have all people have faith in You. It must break your heart in seeing someone choose false gods. I pray that You continue to be patient and merciful on those who have not yet found You. As it is said in 2 Peter 3:9, “The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. Instead He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to parish but everyone to come to repentance.” How blessed are we to have a God that will wait for us to turn our hearts to Him! We are blessed by a merciful and loving God that receives no joy in watching someone perish without knowing His love. in the name of Jesus, Amen.

10/2/20 Friday

Oh, Lord, you reign everlasting. Your glory is eternal and you are almighty. Holy Lord, we understand that it is only those with pure hearts and cleans hands may remain in your presence. We pray that you cleanse our souls of our iniquities so that we can be worthy o your presence. Help us to enjoy your blessings so that we may come to worship you. Let your people see your glory in our lives forever and ever. in the name of Jesus, Amen

Father God, Your Word says that “godly sorrow brings repentance which leads to salvation and leaves no regret” (2 Corinthians 7:10). Only You can open our eyes to the reality that all have sinned and fallen short of Your glory. Come upon _____________ with a sense of godly sorrow for their sin, that they may repent, surrender to You, and be saved. in the name of Jesus, amen

10/1/20 Thursday

Oh, Righteous Father, we appreciate everything that you have given us. Thank you for granting us the gift of life and our health. We appreciate the blessing of being able to gather in your presence. We gather to exalt you again, which is the reason why you created us. We worship and praise you through our existence. Our purpose in life is only to serve you. Holy Spirit, strengthen us to worship the holiness of God and bring blessings for our worship. Keep us alive and in good health to continue to serve you in Jesus’ name. Amen

Remove Satan’s Influence Prayer
God of Heaven’s Armies, we are living in challenging times when the enemy has convinced the people of this world that he does not exist and that you are a harsh God.  Many people are rebelling against you because they do not understand who you are.  God, help these lost souls to know your Son, Jesus, so that they can start worshiping you in truth. Indwell your Holy Spirit in them.  God, remove the evil influences from their lives that are blocking them from accepting Jesus as their Lord and Savior. In Jesus’ name, I believe and pray, Amen. 

9/30/20 Wednesday

Holy Lord, the God that hears our prayers, you have said that you will be present whenever two or three gather in your name. We welcome your presence and grace in our lives. We ask that you manifest your glory today and shine your light on us. Through your light, may we illuminate the lives of those around us. As we feel your presence in worship today, may our knowledge of your divine mysteries continue to grow and change our lives forever. in the name of Jesus, Amen

Heal Their Hearts Prayer
Jesus, the Great Physician, so many people are hurting today, and because of the pain that they carry on the inside, they have turned against you, Jesus. They think that you are behind their pain and have therefore decided to rebel against you just the way the devil is telling them to do.  Jesus, we know the real enemy is the devil, and he is out there to destroy them.  Jesus, your word says that hell was made for the devil and his angels. I pray that you may heal the hearts of your children who are lost and bring them back home so that they can serve you wholeheartedly.  In your righteous and holy name, I believe and pray, Amen.

9/30/20 Wednesday

Bless this house and those within. Bless our giving and receiving. Bless our words and conversation. Bless our hands and recreation. Bless our sowing and our growing. Bless our coming and our going. Bless all who enter and depart. Bless this house, your peace impart. 

9/29/20 Tuesday

You are our heavenly father and the lord that answers with fire. Our heavenly father, we gather together to worship you and offer thanksgivings in Jesus’ name. Our Lord, may we gather in your presence and ask that you visit us with your presence. You have said, “Who is the mountain in front of Zerubbabel, it shall be made low.” When we encounter mountains and obstacles in our life, may they be made low through your strength. Let all of our desires and needs be met by you today. in the name of Jesus, Amen

Pray That Go  Will Turn Their Stubborn Heart

Those who don’t know Christ are closed off from Him. While their heart is turned away from Him, there heart yearns Him deeply. An unbeliever’s heart is in a stubborn place. It’s important that we pray that God will turn their heart around. 

Dear Lord, as I pray today for those that do not know Jesus I ask that You can break whatever it is that has control over their heart that takes them away from knowing You. Psalm 119:67 says, “Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word.” It is true that many have to fall to their lowest points in life before they turn their life over to You. It often takes painful circumstances to drive us to Christ. Addiction, lust, materialism, and other deadly sins are false gods that are stealing the hearts of those who need You the most. I pray for those who are unsaved that You will be able to rip the bondage of what is holding them back. May they seek You! in the name of Jesus, Amen.

9/28/20 Monday

Heavenly Father, your will reigns in our lives everlasting. May we be glorified in Jesus’ name. Let your kingdom come and your presence be manifest in our lives. As we gather in unit, visit us with your presence and help us to increase our knowledge of you. May we always grow in maturity and strength through us. Be our alpha and omega. Bless us beyond measure and fill us with your peace. in the name of Jesus, Amen

Pray That They Come to Christ

It’s impossible to make someone accept Christ into their hearts. They have to be willing to do so on their own. “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me’” (John 14:6).

“Our Father, I know that I cannot make a non-believer accept you into their hearts. I can only share my testimony with them and hope they see your spirit living within me. Please, Lord, help me be an example that they can clearly see! I want them to find you, Lord, so that they can be free from the pain and destruction of this world. Let the path they move forward on lead straight to You. in the name of Jesus, Amen!”

9/27/20 Sunday

Father, thank you for today, for all the ways in which I have known you. For the sunrise and the birdsong, for the music I’ve heard, and the things I’ve enjoyed. For the meals, and for the cozy home I live in, for my close family and for my special friends. Most of all, thank you for being beside me through each moment. May I dream good dreams and arise again tomorrow to thank you once more. Amen.

9/27/20 Sunday 

Lord of heaven, we thank you for the blessings of life and health. Thank you for allowing us to have the opportunity to be in your presence again today. We come together with the unity of our faith and ask that everything we bind, be bound in heaven. Allow everything we loose, be loosed in heaven. Together, we will combat the evil that gathers and ask that evildoers be confounded. May their plans always come to naught. Bless us so that we may leave here today with your spiritual blessings. Allow us to glorify your name through Jesus’ name. Amen.

Pray For Salvation of the World

Christian Song:

More Than Anything 

Natalie Grant

 I know if you wanted to you could wave your hand

Spare me this heartache and change your plan

And I know any second you could take my pain away

But even if you don’t I pray

Help me want the Healer more than the healing

Help me want the Savior more than the saving

Help me want the Giver more than the giving

Help me want you Jesus more than anything

You know more than anyone that my flesh is weak

And you know I’d give anything for a remedy

And I’ll ask a thousand more times to set me free today

Oh but even if you don’t I pray

Help me want the Healer more than the healing

Help me want the Savior more than the saving

Help me want the Giver more than the giving

Oh Help me want you Jesus more than anything

When I’m desperate and my hearts overcome

All that I need you’ve already done

When I’m desperate and my hearts overcome

All that I need you’ve already done

Oh Jesus Help me want you more than anything

Help me want the Healer more than the healing

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please allow nonbelievers to know you, Lord by letting them read the bible and learn your words. I found this to be the most crucial step to building a relationship with you, Jesus. Only by knowing you can we then develop our love for you. I hope that all nonbelievers have the opportunity to be exposed to the bible so that they may grow to accept Jesus as their savior.

In the name of Jesus, amen

I would like to read a Prayer For Salvation For My Family including my friends like Xiao Mei who are yet to be baptized and nonbelievers like Christina. The author of this prayer is unknown. Let us pray now.

Lord, you are a loving Father who cares about all your children.

You are the One who settles people in families and gives them a place to call home.

Today I bring my family before your throne of grace and I pray for the salvation of each family member.

I want them all to have eternal life and spend their eternity with you.

May your Spirit convict every family member who is not born again and grant them the grace to accept your gift of salvation.

I make this prayer for each and every member of my family.

You know each one and what hinders them from accepting salvation.

May your goodness lead them into repentance and acceptance of Jesus as Lord and Savior.

The god of this age has blinded their minds so they don’t see the light of the gospel of the glory of Jesus (2 Corinthians 4:4).

Open their minds and show them the truth about Christ and what he died to make available to them.

Let them not live in darkness anymore but in your glorious light.

Give each of my family members the hunger to know you more and see what a loving God you are.

Lead them to places where they will know your truth which will make them free (John 8:32).

It is for freedom that Christ came.

Free them from their old way of living and give them a new life in Christ.

Destroy the works of the devil in their lives so they can live the abundant life you have for them.

Where they have believed lies about you, set the record straight.

The enemy always seeks to show them the wrong picture of you so they will reject you.

But I thank you because the enemy’s plans will never prevail over the lives of my loved ones.

You are their protector and shield and watch over them day and night.

Lord, call your lost sheep back home for they have gone astray.

You are the great shepherd who cares about all those who go astray and you long to heal them.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Amen. – Ron Moore

A Prayer When You’re Watching a Friend Suffer

Heavenly Father, It is so hard to watch _________ suffer. It doesn’t seem fair for her to have to endure so much pain. Even though I am powerless, I believe that you are powerful and capable of stepping into this situation and completely altering the outcome. In faith, I am responding to the promises in your word that you listen to our prayers and those prayers can make her well. So, I am bringing my friend before you to ask for your healing touch in her life. Thank you for the forgiveness of sin and the promise of eternal healing, but I am asking you to provide healing for her on this side of heaven. Amen. – Lisa Samra
