Prayer Points for 6-23-10

For Your Prayers

1) Praise God for His invitation and promise to respond to our prayers when we ask according to His will.

2) Ask the Lord to convict you of prayerlessness. Repent of any sin of relying on your own resources rather than seeking the treasures of heaven.

3) Confess to the Lord any unbelief that keeps you from devoting yourself to fervent and prevailing prayer.

4) Invite the Holy Spirit to “stir you up” to “take hold of God” in His promise to answer prayer. Pray that He will stir your heart toward greater prayer for revival.

5) Offer the Lord your wholehearted surrender to seek Him for all things. Invite Him to transform you into a “kneeling Christian” with a lifestyle of unceasing intercession before His throne.
