Here's the list for me and Ron; I pray for many different people, but here's the list of requests for myself and my husband:
- Deliver us from hidden faults (items 1-3 are all out of Psalm 19).
- Deliver us from willful sins (like gossip!); so the sins don't rule us.
- Give us gracious speech and pleasing thoughts to You.
- Help us to find rest in You. Our hope comes from You; remind us we can't be shaken when we're in Your will. (Psalm 62)
- Keep us from gossip and judging others.
- Teach us Your will.
- Help us to be forgiving of those who have hurt us. I pray for both the people we have hurt, and the people who have hurt us. All of them. I ask God to fill us with His spirit of forgiveness, because we can't forgive them; I know that. But God's love working in us can work wonders!
- Thanks for our daily bread, and ask for continued provision of same!
- Thanks for enjoyable work.
- Keep us humble and obedient, with servants' hearts.
- Put Your thoughts in our heads, Your words in our mouths, and Your love in our hearts.
- Help us to keep a good testimony, and lead us to people who need to hear it!
- Make us as wise as serpents.
- Don't allow anything to separate us; together we are a mighty force.
- Many of our needs fall under other prayer categories, so I don't worry.
