Mark 8

Mark 8 Prayer Points Our Father, we are in awe of your son who showed such compassion to the crowds of people, who displayed great wisdom and patience before his enemies and who suffered and died for our sins.

Hosea 11

Hosea 11 Prayer Points O Lord, you have continued your faithfulness to us because you have loved us with an everlasting love. Even in the womb you loved us and set your heart upon us.

Instead, we are bent on turning away from you, not understanding that…

Hosea 4

Hosea 4 Prayer Points O Lord, we have acted like ignorant pagans manufacturing vain idols in our hearts. Like unfaithful whores, our love for you has been fickle and cheap. And like faultfinders, we have contended with the Almighty, when it is you who should justly contend with us. For there is swearing, lying, stealing, adultery, and murder in our hearts, for which we ought to mourn, but our cheeks are dry. And we have…

On that day he will go out and fight against the…

Zechariah 13

Zechariah 13 Prayer Points Lord God, we call upon your name believing that you hear our prayers. For on the day you struck the shepherd, you opened a fountain for us to cleanse us from all our sin and uncleanness.

Zechariah 12

Zechariah 12 Prayer Points O Lord, who stretched out the heavens and founded the earth and formed the spirit of man within him, hallowed be your name.

Zechariah 11

Zechariah 11 Prayer Points Prayer for Pastors/Elders Father, we pray for our shepherds who are charged with tending their flocks, keeping watch over the souls of your people, and who will have to give an account on the Day of Judgment regarding their work.

Zechariah 10

Zechariah 10 Prayer Points Our Father, we give you thanks for our daily bread, and we look to you alone, the God of heaven, to bring forth the rain in its season.

Zechariah 9

Zechariah 9 Prayer Points We rejoice, O Lord, that you keep your watchful eye upon the wicked, that though they seem wise and powerful in their own sight, heaping up gold and silver like dust, you will cut off their pride, strip them bear of their possessions, and strike down their power, devouring them with fire. They will see and be afraid, writhing in anguish when all their hopes are confounded. Because of your covenant…

Zechariah 8

Zechariah 8 Prayer Points Prayer of Sanctification O Lord, you are a jealous God. Like a bridegroom jealous over his bride, so you are jealous over your people.

You have called us your people and allowed us to call you ‘Our God.’ And you have promised to make your home with us, to dwell in our midst,…

Zechariah 7

Zechariah 7 Prayer Points Prayer of Confession Lord God, we are challenged in this chapter to examine the true motivation of our hearts in serving you, and we confess that our worship at times has been full of empty expressions of piety rather than wholehearted love for our Savior and King. O Lord, you have spoken to us the words of life, but we have not listened. We have turned a stubborn shoulder away from…

Zechariah 5

Zechariah 5 Prayer Points Prayer of Confession Father, as we contemplate the vision of the flying scroll in Zechariah 5, we are filled with awe and conviction, for we freely acknowledge the weight of our transgressions and the destructive power of our wickedness. We have fallen short of your holy standards and brought shame upon your name. Yet, Lord, we also remember your mercy and your compassion. You are a God of grace who longs…

Psalm 102

Psalm 102 Prayer Points Hear our prayers, O Lord. Incline your ear to us and grant us our petitions for the sake of your Son Jesus. Do not hide yourself in the day of our distress.

Psalm 97

Psalm 97 Prayer Points O Lord, you are the Most-High God, exalted far above all gods, so that all who boast in worthless idols are put to shame.

2 Corinthians 11

2 Corinthians 11 Prayer Points O Christ Jesus, our promised bridegroom, we are so grateful that you have chosen us to be your holy bride and for your divine jealousy over us, protecting us from evil and promoting in us purity, wisdom and honor.
