Day 5: Local Community
“Share each other's burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.”
Father God, we lift up our community and those who lead it. We pray for our town and county officials, our school administrators, law enforcement, fire officials, all our clergy, and the many missions, ministries, and volunteers that support the people of this area. Guide and protect them, Lord, and bless all their efforts. And move us also, to come alongside them with servant hearts. In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.
Day 4: Families
“Look at how good and pleasing it is when families live together as one.”
Heavenly Father, You created us to be in loving relationships with You and each other, and that begins at home. Help our men take seriously the role of spiritual leader of the family. Help our women work beside them, being of one mind and spirit with them. Help our children honor their parents as they grow and learn about You. And, bless our homes with unity, through Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ precious name we pray.
Amen.
Day 3: Wisdom
"But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
Father, You blessed King Solomon for desiring Your wisdom above all else. We also seek Your wisdom for our lives as we move forward in prayer. Help us see clearly, think righteously, and live compassionately, understanding that all we have is a gift from You, and You are truly all we really need. In Jesus’ name.
Amen.
Day 2: Faith
Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.
Heavenly Father, Your word tells us that no matter what we face in this life, You are right there beside us. As we walk out these 21 days of prayer and beyond, help us remember that truth. We are to be strong and brave. We have nothing to fear, for Your Holy Spirit goes with us, and before us. Thank you, Father, for that wonderful assurance. In Jesus’ name.
Amen.
Day 1: The Year of Jubilee
You shall thus consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim a release through the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family.
Father in Heaven, in this year of Jubilee for Valley Church, we joyfully reset! We cast off all past burdens and return our hearts to You. We let go of the past and press on toward the goal of living a new life in Your kingdom, for Your glory. Help us forgive offenses, dissolve debts, and live in the freedom that You yearn for us to have. In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen!
