Dear God,

Visit us in revival power.

That I may understand people and avoid offense.

Wisdom not to unnecessarily offend others.

What do you want in our relationship?  Do you have any specific short term and long term goals?  Should I even ask?

Dear God,

Help us to find our place in you today.  

That we may see with unclouded eyes as much as possible.   

Show us when anger is right and when it is wrong.  

Since it is not of you to be evil, keep your people from doing evil.

Grant us the grace to notice our own faults since we can't resist what we are unaware of.

That we may see the harvest fields and that we may know how to labor in them.

Guide us as we carry out the plans you have for us.

Dear God,

For a freer distribution of resources in the body of Christ and the means by which people may access those resources. 

Thank you for the personality combinations you've arranged for us to face in any given season of church, work, ministry, fun. 

Set up your home in our hearts and help us to conquer all its darkness.  May your light shine in every corner. 

Thank you that your light does not condemn as do the eyes of man.  Thank you it is your light that helps us overcome. 

Work in our hearts in the midst of loss or defeat. 

Help your people to be overcomers, not a defeated people. 

Thank you Lord for investing us with the power to encourage simply through a pat on the shoulder given in a timely manner.

The power to answer correctly. 

Righteous response to another's angry words - not become ticked off but sometimes silent, causing the other to consider and mind.

To answer with authority and truth and consideration for the other party's concerns. 

Freedom from being a distraction to those coming to you.

Training to focus the God-lens of faith.

To know when to kid around and when not to as it may be difficult for some people to tell the difference.

For the fruits of righteousness.

May the words you gave us breath to utter glorify you. 

Teach us how to speak of you in daily life, that we not deny you in our words.

May our interactions with each other be free from hypocrisy.

For wisdom to help those who truly need help and to discern who to help and how.

Help us to maintain critical distance (not open the door to scorn or undue familiarity).

Deliverance from the hands of unfaithful people and unfaithfulness in ourselves.

Dear God,

Teach us how to read the Bible without misapplying it.

Quicken people to hear your Words.

Recover your godly image and childlike faith within us.

Teach us how to actively wait on you.

Help us to see our own need.

To see past pretty traps and discern true ministry.

How should we pray for people, knowing you don't force anyone's hand but have

set before them the ability to choose?

To seek you more perfectly.

To hear your words even when I'm filled.
