Seven Days of Prayer

July 1, 2014 / by Jodie / 1 Comment

I probably should have posted this earlier, but it honestly didn’t cross my mind. My Bible study is joining in with Ann Graham Lotz’s 7-7-7 call to prayer for our country.  The desire is for Christians to unite with one voice on the first seven days of July, the seventh month.  On July 7th, there is a seven-hour fast at your choice of time.  She’s not the only one to hear God’s nudge to put this out.  There have been others who heard the same.  I believe God’s telling us it’s time to truly seek Him.  I’m going to post Ann Graham Lotz’s daily prayer for the next seven days here on the blog so you can join in as well. And feel free to forward to your friends, Bible studies, or whoever you believe will also pray. If you want the direct link, you can go to Ann Graham Lotz’s website, where you can read her story about this 7-day call or sign up for the daily prayer to come to your email inbox.  You can also find the prayers on her webpage if you go to the homepage and click on the daily banner that scrolls by.  I pray you’ll join in and encourage others to as well, and that God will bless you beyond understanding!

Call to Prayer: Day One, from Ann Graham Lotz

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,
to receive all
POWER

“I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True.  With justice He judges and makes war.  His eyes are like blazing fire, and on His head are many crowns…on His robe and on His thigh He has this name written:  King of Kings and Lord of Lords.” — Revelation 19:11-12, 16
  • We worship You, Lord Jesus Christ, as the Lamb who was slain, but who is now enthroned at the center of the Universe as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, soon to return in power and glory.  You are Jesus, who calmed the stormy seas with just a word.  You turned water into wine.  You created sight in a man born blind. You raised the dead. You are the same One who set the boundaries for the oceans. The same One who hung the stars in space and calls them all by name. The same One who strides the winds of the earth so that the clouds are the dust of Your feet.
  • I worship You as ___________
  • We repent of complaining as we wring our hands in despair, thinking our nation and our world are falling apart when they are really falling into place—right at Your feet.
  • We repent of striving to control our own destiny, or our church’s ministry, or our nation’s priorities so that they conform to our standards and agenda.
  • We repent of caring more about what our neighbor says, than what You say; of being more afraid of what our employer or government official thinks, than what You think; of grasping earthly position to gain earthly power.
  • We repent of being so intimidated by the opinions of others that we are silent and do not boldly proclaim who You are.
  • I repent of ___________
  • We choose to surrender our lives to Your power and authority, in utter moment-by-moment dependence on your moment-by-moment control.
  • I choose now to ____________
  • We ask that You would manifest Your power in such a way that we, Your people, would stop pointing our finger at others, and instead fall on our faces in repentance of our own sin; that the church would wake up in its relationship with You and wake up to the urgency of the times in which we live; and that our nation’s attention would once again be so fixed on You that it would return to the faith of our founding fathers.
  • We ask that Your power would permeate our lives, our churches and our nation; that in the light of Your presence, evil spirits would flee; that Your strong arm would protect us from the encroaching evil and deliver us.
  • I humbly ask that _____________

 

FOR YOUR GLORY,

AMEN
