Are You Ready to Pray

 

 

 

 

Celebration of Discipline (3) -                       
“Are You Ready to Pray” - Ezekiel 22:30-31

 

 I. The Time is Here: A Season of Prayer
Our nation and the world is crying out (Gen. 18:20-)
God is giving us a window of opportunity before it’s too late (2 Chron. 7:14)
It is our Christian duty (Ezek. 22:30-31)

 

 II. The Disciple’s Prayer
Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your name (10 minutes)
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done (20 minutes)
Give us today our daily bread (10 minutes)
Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors (5 minutes)
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil (10 minutes)
For Yours is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory forever (5 minutes)

 

 III. The First 10 minutes: Praise God by Remembering Who He is (Our Father)
Remember the prayer is offered to the Father, in Heaven
It is in the community or family setting that the prayer is offered, our Father
Hallowed be Your name!

 

 IV. The Next 20 minutes: Announce God’s Kingdom in our Midst (Come! Your Kingdom)
You and your family
Your church: pastors, staff, lay leaders, and missionaries
Your country: political leaders, the government, local churches, and social justice
The world: global peace, world missions, and poverty and social justice
