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.

people will turn to the Lord as their only hope.
