A Prayer For The Prayers Lifted By Others (Inspired by King Solomon's prayer 1 Kings 8:22-60)
Lord, there truly is no other like you. We could search our whole lives for something greater and will have only spent our lives seeking in vain for something that does not exist. You are uncontainable and immeasurable and what joy that brings ours heart, what confidence we can rest in with this as our anchor during the storms of life. No matter what our biggest problems or struggles are they cannot surpass your greatness, your wisdom, your power. You are an awesome God who loves us and keeps your covenant of love with us as a promise and a hope to see us through all our days.
Lord, my prayer is for the those who are lifting up their voices to you in need, who are seeking you as their helper. I know there are so many out there going through an array of situations and are in need of your guidance, your comfort, your vision. I ask lord that you would hear their spoken and unspoken supplications, requests and hearts desires. Hear your servant and all those who are lifting up their voice to you today.
Lord, hear from heaven and forgive those who need forgiveness. May your spirit wash them anew and allow them to feel the freedom from the bondage of sin, shame, and fear. Hear from heaven and uphold the cause of those who are feeling to weak or burdened or confused to move forward. May they feel you near and know that they are not alone to carry these burdens that weigh them down but that they have a father who loves them and will sustain them, support them, lift them up and place them firmly on solid ground. Hear from heaven and teach us the right way to live, the right paths to take. Guide those who are stumbling in darkened moments and help them to hear your voice clearly. Once you have been heard I ask for your spirit to give aide and strength for each person to move in the direction you are calling even if their path still feels dark and uncertain. May we all find peace in knowing that you will never leave us, you will never fail us, you will always lead us to place of growth, of greater knowledge in who you are, and place where your glory can and will be revealed in some way. I pray lord, hear from heaven the prayers of those whose hearts are humbled and that you would answer and do for them according to your will and word. May hearts be surrendered to you and willing to trust you lord in all things and in all ways.
Lord, I ask that your eyes be open to your servant's plea and the pleas of those who are lifting up their voices to you. Hear them whenever they cry out to you. Calm their spirits. Encourage their hearts. Give wisdom to their thoughts. May you be their constant source of joy and peace no matter what each moment brings.
Praise be to you Lord, our God and savior. Not one word has failed of all the good promises you have given. May you be with us always and never forsake us. May you turn our hearts toward you and guide us to walk after you always. May everyone know that the Lord is God and that there is no other like you.
AMEN
