I join with all who are praying *
to the Father, through the Son, in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Opening Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, because You were dead, but are now risen, and the Father has given You a name above all names, You will defeat all powers of evil. Tear down strongholds and ideologies that resist the knowledge of God.
Remove the veil of darkness that covers the peoples. Restrain the evil that promotes violence and death. Bring deliverance from demonic oppression. Break the hold of slavery, tyranny and disease. *
Fill us with courage to preach Your word fearlessly, and to intercede for the lost faithfully. Almighty God, deliver us from evil.
- Global Day of Prayer 2009

Praying Psalm 113 (New International Version)
Praise the Lord! Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD! Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and forevermore! From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the LORD is to be praised!
The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens! Who is like the LORD our God, who is seated on high, who looks far down on the heavens and the earth? *
He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap, to make them sit with princes, with the princes of his people. He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. Praise the LORD!

Who is like you, Oh God? Perfect in wisdom, unlimited in power - you will not relent until you fully accomplish the purposes of your heart.

Ending Prayer
I want to unite my life to your life, my thoughts to your thoughts, my affections to your affections, my heart to your heart, my works to your works, my whole self to your self, in order to become through this union more holy and more pleasing in the sight of your Father and in order to make my life more worthy of your grace and of the reward of eternity. I want to join your intentions to my intentions, the holiness of your actions to mine and the excellence of your lofty virtues to the lowliness of mine.
- Jean-Pierre Me'daille
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
