Praying Isaiah 45:18-25

๐Ÿ””

 

I join with all who are praying *
to the Father, through the Son, in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

 

Opening Prayer

Let us bow down in humility at the power and grandeur of the Holy Spirit.  *
Let us worship the Holy Trinity and give glory today to the Paraclete, our Advocate.

Oh Holy Spirit, by Your power, Christ was raised from the dead to save us all. By Your grace, miracles are performed in Jesusโ€™ name. By Your love, we are protected from evil. And so, we ask with humility and a beggarโ€™s heart for Your gift of Peace within us. *
The Saints were tempted, attacked and accused by the devil who is the destroyer of peace. When we are accused by the devil, come to our aid as our Advocate and give us Peace that lasts through all trials!

Amen.

Praying Isaiah 45:18-25 (New International Version)

For this is what the LORD says -- he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited -- he says: "I am the LORD, and there is no other. I have not spoken in secret, from somewhere in a land of darkness; I have not said to Jacob's descendants, 'Seek me in vain.' I, the LORD, speak the truth; I declare what is right. 

Gather together and come; assemble, you fugitives from the nations. Ignorant are those who carry about idols of wood, who pray to gods that cannot save. Declare what is to be, present it -- let them take counsel together. Who foretold this long ago, who declared it from the distant past? Was it not I, the LORD? And there is no God apart from me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none but me. *
Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other. By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear. They will say of me, 'In the LORD alone are deliverance and strength.'"

Response to the Scripture

Hope of all the ends of the earth, bright and morning star; rise like the day in our hearts. Come to weary hearts - come and stay.

 

Draw near to Godโ€™s throne of grace
with the thanksgivings, prayers, & intercessions that are on your heart

Even so, Lord Jesus, come quickly. *
Turn to the LORD and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for he is God and there is no other.

Ending Prayer

Lord, let the church say this: *
"Evangelists:
You bring people to Christ.
You are free to engage, invite, inspire and excite people through sharing stories, sharing your home, your life with others.
You are free to shout from the rooftops.
We release you to your calling in the Body of Christ."

And so let the evangelists be sent into the world to preach the gospel ... Amen!

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
