A Powerful Prayer for Your Sunday:



At the beginning of time, God ordained that there would be six days for working, and one for rest. This rest is called the Sabbath, or a time to be still. Relationship with the Father is not just for the Sabbath, but for every day. This relationship is strengthened by prayer.

Prayer is the vehicle by which we can come before the Lord to be in His presence and hear His voice. Although church services are typically one day a week, prayer should be constant—just as our relationship with God should be.

A Prayer for Your Sunday:

Father God,

Thank You for this Sunday. Lord, we come before you first and foremost with hearts of gratitude. You have seen us through another week, and we stand at the threshold of a fresh week, full of new beginnings. Lord, help us start this bright embarking with You. Stir in us a deep desire to come into further relationship with You. Remind us that it is not solely by going to Sunday service that we worship and come before You; rather, it is through the daily communion with You through relationship and prayer.

Highlight to us how we may be obedient to Your call and heart. Embrace us with Your love, oh Lord, for we desperately desire to know You and to feel Your love around us. Give us a hunger for Your Word and truth, oh Lord. Help us begin our week this day in preparation through contemplation and connection with You.

In Jesus name, Amen.

Preparing for the Week

Just as we make calendars and to-do lists to plan for our weeks, we must prepare for our weeks spiritually as well. This is not merely a once a week job, but dedicating Sunday or a Sabbath day to the Lord for preparation will produce great fruit.
