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. For you have saved us from the east and the west and brought us into your glorious church. 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…
Ephesians 4
Ephesians 4 Prayer Points Father, we thank you for calling us into the one hope that is in Christ Jesus, into the one faith, the one church and the one and only God who is over all and through all.

Psalm 4
Psalm 104 Prayer Points Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, you are very great! You are clothed with splendor and majesty, covering yourself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent. You lay the beams of your chambers on the waters; you make the clouds your chariot; you ride on the wings of the wind; you make your messengers winds, your ministers a flaming fire. You…
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. Answer us speedily when we call. When we lie awake at night burdened with anxiety, or when we are oppressed by our enemies, take pity upon us and show us your favor. Build us up in your steadfast love…
Psalm 98
Psalm 98 Prayer Points O Lord, we sing for joy at the works of your hands, for you have done marvelous things! Your right hand and your holy arm have worked salvation for men. You have made your salvation known to us and have revealed your righteousness in the sight of many nations. You have remembered your steadfast love and faithfulness to your people Israel. All the ends of the earth have heard of your…
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. For the heavens daily proclaim your righteousness, and all the peoples can see your glory. O Lord, you reign over all the earth. May the peoples rejoice in your works and may the farthest coastlands be glad and sing for joy to the God of our salvation.…
Psalm 96
Psalm 96 Prayer Points Great are you O Lord and greatly to be praised. All the gods of the nations are worthless idols, but you made the heavens and you established the earth so that it shall never be moved. The Lord reigns! You will judge the peoples with equity. Splendor and majesty are before you; strength and beauty are in your sanctuary. We ascribe to you, O Lord, glory and strength, and we bring…
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. O Lord, we are so weak in love and prone to wander, easily led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to our husband. Please forgive us for our foolishness and…
2 Corinthians 9
2 Corinthians 9 Prayer Points Gracious God, we give you thanks for our daily bread and for the continual supply of seed for sowing and for reaping a harvest of righteousness among others. For you have made your grace to abound toward us more than sufficient for our needs that we might abound in every good work. Again, you have enriched us in every way that we might be generous in every way. O Lord,…
Habakkuk 2
Habakkuk 2 Prayer Points The day of our deliverance seems slow, O Lord, but we wait for it with patience, as do all the righteous who look to you by faith. Woe to the violent and to the scoffer, O God. Woe to the plunderer and to the thief. Woe to the arrogant and the idolater, for the day of your vengeance will surely come and will not delay. On that day, the wicked will…
Micah 6
Micah 6 Prayer Points O Lord, you are the righteous judge of all the earth, and we humbly come before your throne this morning to present ourselves before our God and King. We come to you not with burnt offerings or any man-made sacrifices in an attempt to appease your holy anger because of our sin, but we plead the name of Jesus your Son, our Savior. For you have told us what is good…
Lamentations 4
Lamentations 4 Prayer Points O Lord, you are the everlasting God and the maker of all men. Originally, in the Garden, Adam was purer than snow and the beauty of his form was like sapphire, but in the Fall, his face, became as black as soot. Oh, how the gold has grown dim and the precious sons of God, worth their weight in gold, have become like earthen pots cracked and broken. Now, our days…
Psalm 51
Psalm 51 Prayer Points Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in…
Psalm 48
Psalm 48 Prayer Points Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised. As your name, O God, so your praise reaches to the ends of the earth. We have thought on your steadfast love, O God.

2 Kings 24
2 Kings 24 Pastor Lawrence Bowlin We are coming to the end of God’s patience with Judah. They are going into exile. I find it so interesting to try to understand what the author includes and leaves out. The author leaves out much of the history about Babylon and Egypt. We are not told why Babylon came to Israel but we know that Babylon was warring against Egypt. For three years Jehoiakim served Nebuchadnezzar but…
2 Kings 23
2 Kings 23 Pastor David Groendyk Good King Josiah still reigns on the throne, and what a reign it is! Today’s chapter itemizes all the various ways in which Josiah leads Judah in repentance and cleansing. After the book of the Law is found and read and convicts Josiah, he gathers all the elders and leaders of Judah together to hear it and lead this reform too (vv. 1–2). They read the Word of God…
2 Kings 22
2 Kings 22 Pastor Lawrence Having the heinously wicked kings Amon and Manasseh for his father and grandfather, one would assume that Josiah would naturally follow in their footsteps, but the Lord had mercy upon him. Josiah became king when he was only eight years old after his father was assassinated. When he turned sixteen, the Lord opened Josiah’s heart and he began to seek the Lord. Then when he turned twenty, he began to…
2 Kings 21
2 Kings 21 Pastor Mark Hudson This chapter in 2 Kings describes the life and ministry of Manasseh who “did evil in the sight of the Lord” according to v. 2. As a Bible reader might know, II Chronicles 33:10ff, also includes a period of repentance at the end of his life. But we are looking at what this author is telling us and following his story. We don’t know why this author didn’t include…
