Prayer
of Intercession
(inspired by Ephesians 1: 15-23)
“I pray for you constantly, asking God,
the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
to give you spiritual wisdom and
understanding,
so that you might grow in your knowledge of
God.” Ephesians 1:16-17
O God,
We ask for your wisdom to discern
your ways and path for our own lives.
We ask for your wisdom to discern
how to deal with others we meet, live with, work with, shop with, drive our
roads, with, wait in line with, eat with and be with daily.
We ask for your wisdom in the
difficult situations we may have to deal with as we go through life.
We ask for your wisdom when
voting in the upcoming elections.
We ask for your wisdom in dealing
with injustices in our world.
We ask for wisdom for our leaders
in our world, our countries, our states, and our communities.
We ask for wisdom for our church
leaders, worldwide and local.
We ask for wisdom for our Pastors
as they preach your word, inspire, lead and grow us as disciples.
We ask for your wisdom as we
reach out to those in need in our communities and in our world.
We ask for wisdom as we minister
to those who are homebound and in nursing homes.
We ask for your wisdom as we
minister to those in hospitals, in recovery and rehab.
We ask for your wisdom that not
only enlightens us but transforms us and guides us in our daily walk with
you. Amen
