30 Days of Prayer
As you pray today, focus on the Scripture passage and prayer requests
DAY 30 | November 11
Psalm 147:1-6 “Praise the LORD! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting. The LORD builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the outcasts of Israel. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names. Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure. The LORD lifts up the humble; he casts the wicked to the ground.
- Sing praises to the Lord for his faithfulness.
- Give thanks that Christ fulfilled the law of the Old Testament.
- Thank God for calling you to himself, for saving you and drawing you close.
- Thank Christ for the church and that he will build his church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.
- Ask the Lord to persevere his Church, our local church, and our denomination.
- Give thanks for all that God has done, is doing, and will do through “City on a Hill.”
Why Should I Pray?
God is sovereign
All authority belongs to God, who governs creation with wisdom. We can trust Him to work for His glory and our good.
God commands prayer
Because of His sovereignty and salvation, God calls us to pray. He graciously uses our prayers to work His good and to sanctify us.
We need God
In our joys and sufferings, we can turn to God. He invites us to share our desires, growing us in His knowledge and grace. God uses prayer to transform our lives.
GOD IS WORTHY OF ADORATION AND PRAISE
We are fearfully and wonderfully made by God, who desires a relationship with us and wants to hear our thoughts. Staggering!
