PRAYERWALK PETITIONS:
THE LORD'S PRAYER

Use this guide as a starting place for your intercession on behalf of the places and people where you live and serve.  Let the Holy Spirit lead your praying, so that as you intercede, you will be praying what         
is on God's  heart for our city, county and region.

He is faithful.                                           
    He will guide you to pray.                       
        He is fully able to answer!



Our Father in heaven…
We come near You in heaven by the way of Jesus.
We come near our community in prayer so that a way would be opened for You in our lives.

Hallowed be Your name…
We want You to be honored in this place, Lord, recognized by every single person.
You are worthy of  praise for who You are and for what You are already doing in the lives of our people.  Here's our request:
Reveal who You are by name.  
Answer right-now prayers in Jesus' name so that You will be explicitly exalted.
Work in their lives so that You alone will be honored, feared, thanked and praised.
We know that You have done this before here, Lord, so please, do it again!

Give us this day our daily bread…
We ask You to provide every daily need for the people in this place as surely as You are obeyed in heaven. Come, loving King!
Confront us with Your healing power.  
Subdue our rebellion against You.  
Transform these hearts to follow You soon.  
Turn us together toward You, so that we might do Your will as individuals, as families, even as an entire community of loyal obedience.

And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors…
Our community is trapped in a tangle of transgressions.
Only Your forgiveness can set us free.  
However deep or long-standing the sins of our city may be, we beg You Lord, bring forth a wave of healing and reconciliation on the very streets where we walk and pray.  

Lord, we remember how those who were blessed with revival here so long ago were deeply grieved over their sin, and repented, crying out to You for mercy.  
Cause Your people here, Lord, to be grieved by sin again, so that we can experience Your forgiving power.

May forgiveness spread from person to person, throughout families, and between the races, and heal our neighborhoods, our city, our area, our land.


And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one…
Deliver, Lord!  
Deliver the people we see in this place from the predicaments we know from our own personal sin history.  Help these ones escape the traps they have built and Satan has baited.  
Break the vicious cycles of addiction and pride in this place in Jesus' name.  
We know that the enemy of our souls is fighting to keep us from experiencing You and Your reviving work. Help us to resist Him, Lord, and to see him flee as we submit to You in humble worship.

For Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever.  Amen. Matthew 6:9-13
We recognize Your sole sovereignty here, Lord.
We see Your power already at work.  
And we can almost glimpse the radiant beauty of Your fullest glory dawning upon this place.   We give You our praise now.

Unite the hearts of Christians across our area in prayer for a fresh move of Your Spirit in this place.      Unite churches in praise and prayer for revival and spiritual awakening.  
Unite the eyes of this community to see You soon, and to give You explicit honor.  
You deserve highest praise with our every breath, Lord Jesus!
