HUMILITY, REPENTANCE, AND FORGIVENESS:
So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with Him in prayer and petition and in sackcloth and ashes. -Daniel 9:3
• Lord, we are a broken and divided people. We are desperate for You. We are lost without You. Please draw near to us now.

• Lord, You are righteous, but our state and nation are covered with shame because of our unfaithfulness to You and because we have sinned against You.
• We have broken Your law and have turned away, refusing to obey You.
• Yet God, You are merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against You and have not obeyed You.

EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLE MAKING:
All authority in heaven and earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. -Matthew 28:18-20
• We thank You, God, that so many young people today are interested in spiritual things and want to discover who You are in Your Word.
• Instill in us a God-inspired, deep love, compassion, and passion for those who are lost, broken, and far from You, God.
• Give us a passion and desire to love, engage, befriend, and serve those who have a desire to know more about You and give us courage and boldness to bear faithful witness to Jesus.
• Empower us to leave the 99, find the lost sheep, and bring them into Your fold.
• Give us courage, boldness, and clarity to speak the truth in love as we share the good news about Jesus Christ with our friends, neighbors, co-workers, and strangers.
• Give us the courage to invite others to know more about You by discovering who You are in Your Word.
• We ask that the Holy Spirit blow across our state, that You touch hearts, bring conviction of sin, and we see a movement of repentance from sin, revival, and a turning to You, God.
• We pray that we would see millions of baptisms as a sign of repentance and God’s authentic and lasting work in human hearts.
• Instill a burning passion in us and all believers to go and make disciples, baptizing them and teaching them to obey everything that You commanded us to do, Jesus.
• We pray for a powerful movement of bold and courageous disciple makers, who will multiply and bear much fruit.

• God, please help wives to respect and honor their husbands.
• Help husbands and wives to be mutually submitted and obedient to you as Lord and Savior.
• We ask that you restore and strengthen all marriages and all families.
• Lord, protect Christian marriages from being attacked and undermined by the enemy of our souls, who comes to kill, steal, and destroy.

• Help us, God, to properly understand the role of Your church in this present darkness, to be salt and light, to serve as the watchmen on the wall, and be those who understand the times and know what to do. Lord, help us to understand and be prepared for spiritual warfare, recognizing that we are engaged in a spiritual battle and that we need to put on Your spiritual armor and join the fight.
GOVERNMENT:
I urge, then…that petitions, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. -I Timothy 2:1
