A month of prayers recognizing who I am in Christ
Monday, May 30. We praise You, Jesus, as our eternal High Priest, honored for Your sacrifice on our behalf. “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: ’You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek’” (Psalm 110:4).
Tuesday, May 31. Risen Lord Jesus, there is no limit to Your Lordship. You have power and authority over the whole earth and all of its inhabitants. “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed” (Daniel 7:13-14).
Prayers from “Seek God for the City 2022”
Wednesday, June 1. “These are the ones who are coming out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. For this reason, they are before the throne of God’ and they serve Him day and night in His temple…” (Rev. 7:14-15). Your blood, Jesus, has cleansed us so that we have been granted standing before the very throne of our God. Although we are still being gathered from the nations, we celebrate as a global family, knowing that You have purchased some from every tribe and language. Each one of the peoples is precious and treasured before You.
Thursday, June 2. “I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God; because His judgments are true and righteous…” (Rev. 19:1-2). We entrust ourselves to You as our Savior and our Judge. Your judgment is true because You are truth itself. Your every thought and word is altogether righteous. We yearn for the day when You will move in overwhelming power against every evil bringing forth goodness and beauty.
Friday, June 3. “These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful.” (Rev. 17:14). It is privilege to be with You in the coming day of Your struggle and victory. In the these days of strife, it is difficult to be faithful, but You have strengthened our faith again and again. We are honored to be called and chosen to endure suffering with You for Your great glory.
Saturday, June 4. ”Great and marvelous are Your works, O Lord God, the Almighty! Righteous and true are Your ways, King of the nations! Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. For all the nations will come and worship before You, for Your righteous acts have been revealed” (Rev. 15:3-4). We respect and pray for the governors and rulers of the countries of earth. But we honor You as God’s appointed King over all kingdoms. You rule as King, speaking truth because You are the truth. You act with perfect justice because You are righteousness itself. May Your kingdom come!
Sunday, June 5. “This Jesus God raised up again, to which we are all witnesses. Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of God and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit He has poured forth this which you both see and hear” (Acts 2:32-33). Risen Jesus, we honor You as King. Father Almighty, we receive the gift of Your Spirit. And Spirit of the Living God, we delight in the fullness of Your love and power. You precious Spirit renew and empower us to work alongside of our Lord Jesus. We love to glorify our Lord Jesus by our worship and our witness. We have been filled with the Spirit so that the earth will be filled with Your glory!”
