Here is a prayer guide that we used in our recent elder meeting.
We took the Scriptures from our 2 main Bible teaching times (Pulpit and ABF) and turned those passages into prayers.
We love to pray for you. And there is no better way to pray for you than with the Word of God.
Pulpit = Prayer for RBC people from each verse of Psalm one
Psalm 1:1 –
Resist the constant compromise toward worldliness, Refuse the temptations toward sin
Psalm 1:2 –
Changed affections, New delights which are Spirit-given and strong, Scripture study and meditation
Psalm 1:3 –
Would be like trees, people of conviction with deep roots and abundant fruits
Psalm 1:4-5 –
Would not be like chaff, weightless and rootless
Psalm 1:6 –
The day of judgment is coming, make our people ready for it, Make us ready to give an account for our people on that day
ABF = Prayers for RBC people from selected verses in Habakkuk
Habakkuk 1:2-4
We have hearts that are in pain over injustice and unanswered prayers
1:12-13
We trust in your character Lord, but we struggle with all the sin and sorrow we see
2:2-3

2:12-14
Deal with the injustice and violence all around us in our own country and the entire world, bring about the knowledge of the glory of the Lord and do this through us and our missions
2:18-20
