Trinity Wesleyan Methodist Church

O God, we praise you for the blessings of this day, and we pray that we will not take this day for granted. This brand new day that we have never seen and will never see again is another opportunity to glorify You, to serve You, and to demonstrate to a skeptical world that it really does pay to serve Jesus. We also pray that on this day, someone will be encouraged, strengthened, and blessed because we crossed their paths. Amen

O God, we praise You this day for the privilege and opportunity to call upon Your name in and through prayer. We praise You for access to Your throne of grace at any time, in any place, for whatever the reason, whether we are deserving or not, with the faith and assurance that we will find grace and help in our time of need. We pray that we will never take our opportunity to call on Your name in prayer for granted. Thank you! Amen

Jesus, as You have been with us in times past, we give You praise this day that You are still with us, even now, at this present moment. We know this because You promised that You would be with us ALWAYS. You are with us as ALMIGHTY. You are with us as LOVE. You are with us as WISDOM. You are with us as ANOINTING. You are with us as the Divine YES for the promises of Your Word. You are with us as SALVATION. You are with us ALWAYS! Hallelujah! Amen

Jesus, we acknowledge that there have been times and seasons when Your presence in our lives was undeniable and unmistakable. On this day we also want to thank You for those times when You were with us and we didn't recognize Your presence. We thank You for being in sick rooms when we didn't know You were there. We thank You for making ways out of no ways when we didn't know it was You. We give You praise for the promise that You will be with us ALWAYS!

Lord Jesus, we confess today that there have been times when we have not been aware of Your presence (Matthew 28:20). There have been times when we have been so engrossed in our own problems and pain predicament that we were not aware that even then You were with us. Help us to recognize Your presence even in our darkest moments. We thank You for watching over us and protecting us when we didn't know You were there. Amen

Jesus, You have promised to be with us ALWAYS and we thank You for keeping Your promise (Matthew 28:16-20). We confess that there have been times when we have felt that You withdrew Your protection and presence from us. In those times, we doubt Your promise to be with us in every moment and circumstance. No matter how daunting and depressing life becomes, we pray today that we will remember that we do not face life alone, You are with us ALWAYS! Amen

Holy Spirit, help us to discover our gifts and to use them to edify You and strengthen Your Church. We pray for Your fruit to be manifested in our lives. We pray for love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Help us live so that others will see and feel the presence of the Holy Spirit in us and working through us. Give us strength today to walk in the anointing that has fallen fresh on us! Amen

Holy Spirit, we praise You today for Your presence in the life of the Church. When You came, You came for the gathered community that we know as the Church (Acts 2:1-21). Individuals were privileged to receive You and to grow into You because they were gathered with Your Church. When we start believing that we can grow without the instruction and accountability of the Church, gently lead us back into fellowship and communion with Your Church! Amen
