Now let me point this out … I didn’t ask you to pray for me because something is wrong, I just need you to pray. I didn’t ask you to pray for me because there’s something that I need, I just simply need you to pray. See, somebody is dealing with some things that don’t even make sense in their natural eyes but hold on because when you look at those same things through spiritual eyes, it’ll all make sense. So while you’re praying for me let me pray for you.
“Our Father in Heaven, whose name is sweet upon my tongue; I petition your throne this morning with thanksgiving on my lips. First, thanking you for the blessings that you grant me daily even when I’m too selfish to acknowledge them. Next, oh God, I must thank you for the portion of mind You gave me back this morning that’s well enough to know who I am, for the strength in my body to get up and go on, for family & friends, the job, home and car that I sometimes take for granted. Then God, I thank you for the gifts and talents that allow me to work for you every day. Now, God I didn’t petition your throne just for me this morning but I come on behalf of those reading this. I don’t know what all they need prayer for but you do so I ask that you grant their request, if it be your will. God somebody is crying out for healing for what’s hurting, restoring of their joy, renewing their faith, rebuilding their hope, releasing of the chains, endurance to run and enlarging of their territory; do it if it’s your will. For the police officers, nurses, doctors, teachers, ministers, evangelists, missionaries, anointed bible carrying field laborers (those who don’t mind sharing God’s word wherever they are) cover and protect them. For the person who is addicted to drugs and alcohol, whoremongers, liars, cheaters, backstabbers, users, abusers and thieves; convict them so that they turn away from all the evil things that keep them from being close to you. God, surround and protect the child that is being bullied, molested and taken advantage of. Deliver those who want to be delivered. Heal those who want to be healed. Restore those who are crying out for restoration. God, I need you to see about your people now because we just don’t praise like we used to, we don’t always practice what we preach, we don’t serve like we know we could and we don’t study like we know we should. Oh God, I need you now to make victims victorious, change liars to leaders, cheaters to committed coverts, hell mates to help mates, abusers and adulterers to appointed ambassadors and fearful followers to favorable frontrunners. Bind the things that’s meant to do us harm and loose those things that allow us to be willing workers for you, if it’s your will. Touch that grieving person now and let them know that they are not alone and give them the strength to deal with their grief. God, I ask these things for us; your people, now because you’ve given me that power. Do it God and do it like only you can. This prayer I submit to you. Amen.”
