Prayer For Thanksgiving
who You are. You are compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in
loving kindness and truth. We bless Your Name this day for You are deserving of
praise. You so loved the world that You gave Your Only Begotten Son Jesus to save
us from our sins.
Lord Jesus, we give You thanks for willingly doing what we could not do for ourselves.
You alone are God became flesh. You alone lived a sinless life. You alone sacrificed
Your body and shed Your blood on the cross for our sins. You alone rose from the
dead, never to die again. You will come again in great glory and we will be with You
forever.
God the Holy Spirit, we are grateful to You as You bring comfort, living words and
direction to our lives. Speak to us through Your leading and through Your inspired
Word in the Bible. Fill us afresh each day.
We express our thanks to You for Your faithfulness over the years. Your love is shown
in the uniting of Camino Nuevo and Calvary Church in the bond of Christ. Even in our
different languages, we are reminded that people of every tribe, every tongue and every
nation worship You.
We are blessed by our Pastoral Staff. You have entrusted them as our shepherds.
Continue to give them wisdom and discernment in leading our church. Let Your words
be their words. Protect them, guard them from harm, and guide them in truth.
We are grateful for the Deacons and Leadership Team. Equip them for continued
leading and give them wisdom in the matters concerning the church. Keep them
looking to You and unify them in the direction we should go.
Lord God of Heaven – may our worship of You come from the depths of our soul each
day. May we be true worshipers of You, worshiping You in spirit and in truth. May our
hearts overflow with love for You, for You are holy. May our praise defeat the enemy-
we know the battle belongs to You. Thank you for our Worship and Media Arts Leaders
– anoint them with Your Holy Spirit.
Heavenly Father, thank you for the Body of Christ here at Calvary and Camino Nuevo,
as we minister to each other, helping in times of need. And if one member suffers, all
the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
Help us to serve one another, showing Your love to others, especially those hurting and
grieving. Bind up the brokenhearted, set the captives free, replace mourning with Your
oil of gladness. Thank you for the Counseling Center @ Calvary – bless each of the
counselors, Lord.
God, our Father, we praise You for the gifts You give to equip Your Church. We are
grateful for the abundance of great teachers here at Calvary and Camino Nuevo, for
classes of all ages. We all benefit from their faithfulness to study and prepare and
engage their classes. Keep them discerning and true to Your Word.
As our Heavenly Father, You have granted us the privilege of becoming Your children.
We are grateful for our babies, our young children and our youth. We pray Your
protection over them in all ways as they grow. Bless the dedicated nursery workers,
Sunday School teachers, Youth workers and the leaders over these faithful volunteers.
We ask that You give wisdom and grace to the NextGen group as they have so many
responsibilities in their lives. Equip them as the baton is passed on to them. Give those
who are parents the ability to instill godliness and a love for You in their lives. We pray
for the future of all of these, our babies, children, youth and NextGeners.
Dear God, we praise You for the many Global Partners sent and supported by Calvary
Church, serving locally and in distant countries. May the Gospel, the Good News of
Your saving grace, be spread throughout the world. May the ministries that Calvary
Church supports and prays for help to make disciples of all nations.
Our Lord God, we pray for unity within our church. For even as the body is one and yet
has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one
body, so also is Christ. May we stand firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together
for the faith of the Gospel. Unify our marriages and our families in You.
Protect and deliver us, O Father, from the evil one. You, O Lord, will fight for us. May
we be strong and of good courage, not in fear, for You, Lord God, are with us. Help us
recognize the enemy’s schemes. We need You to help us to be wise as serpents and
harmless as doves. May we put on the whole armor of God each day to be able to
withstand in the evil day. You are good, a stronghold in the day of trouble.
Have mercy on us, O God. We cry out to You. Create in us a clean heart, O God, and
renew a steadfast Spirit within us. May we walk humbly before You. Thank you, Lord
God, our Redeemer, who covers us with the Blood of the Lamb, taking away our sin and
shame.
Purify our hearts, that they may be set on fire for You! Revive us with Your Holy Spirit.
Set our feet upon a rock, for You are our Rock, and establish our steps. Put a new
song in our mouths, so that many will see and fear, and put our trust in You, Lord Jesus.
You are the Lord, our God, and there is no other!
Jesus, You are worthy of all praise! We don’t know how to pray – lead us by Your Holy
Spirit. May we rejoice always, praying without ceasing, giving thanks to You, O God.
Help us not to quench the Spirit. We know that unless You build the house, we labor in
vain who build it. Make us a house of prayer. Stir our hearts to seek Your face each
day. Thank you for hearing our prayers.
