Prayer of Entreaty<http://hishandiwork.blogspot.com/2006/03/prayer-of-entreaty.html>
*Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with
thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God,' and the peace of God,
which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through
Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
*
Oh Lord, like the Philippians, we live in a world full of temptations to
lose faith and to become anxious. World events are flashed before our eyes
daily even hourly. But we live in a situation where, for the most part, all
we can do is watch and pray that your sovereign will will be carried out in
history, bringing your kingdom to earth as it is in heaven. And so we come
to you now asking that you would indeed continue to be faithful to work in
our world so that your name will be praised among the nations.

We lift up to you the Congress of the United States. We ask that you would
grant them individual and corporate wisdom to lead your people in a way that
will continue to allow us to spread your Good news to every comer of our
nation and to every other nation on the face of the earth.

We pray for our state and local officials; that you would do a work in them
that will amaze even them as you work in them to grant peace and stability
to your church. We pray that New Saint Andrews College would be granted
their conditional use permit in the up coming hearing and that they would be
allowed to continue to teach and educate their students to your glory and
majesty.

We call upon you so that you would use our recent and local events to cause
your people to draw closer to you. We pray that through this more intimate
contact, we would become more and more like Christ, as you lavishly pour
your transforming Grace out on us.

We also ask that you would use the events and characters in this grand drama
to be the means by which you open the eyes of the blind, and turn them from
darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to yourself so that they
might receive forgiveness of sins and a place in the company of the saints.
We pray for souls to be saved and lives to be changed.

Oh Lord God, we beg you to not remain silent. You are the God we praise, the
God of our praise. We are surrounded by enemies: without and within. They
attack us with lying tongues and false lips. They return evil for good,
slander for godly guidance. They invent lies hoping to entrap us with their
smears and their deceit. They desire to tear us down while they somehow hope
to gain respect and admiration for themselves. But seeking to destroy the
Lord's anointed only ends in calamity for those who do the betraying. With
this in mind we ask that you would give them the results they are working so
diligently to accomplish in us. We pray that you would give them what they
deserve: that you would squash them like bugs before your mighty throne.

Finally, father, we pray that you would grant wisdom, patience, compassion,
steadfastness, and courage to our parents as we continue to strive to bring
up our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Our desire, like
yours, is to have godly children and we know that this desired goal can only
be met if you are in us working your good pleasure through us to our
children. So we come to you and ask that you would give us more of yourself,
so that our children might grow up to stand on our shoulders and take the
next steps in bringing the world under the authority of Christ.

We bring all these prayers to you in the Name of the one who died and gave
himself for us: Jesus the righteous one. Amen.

"...squash them like bugs before your mighty throne."

"You have heard that it was said to the men of old, `You shall not kill; and
whoever kills shall be liable to judgment.' But I say to you that every one
who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment; whoever insults
his brother shall be liable to the council, and whoever says, `You fool!'
shall be liable to the hell of fire."
