Healing for God's Glory
Father, I'm praying for (name one or more) and others in my circle of family and friends in need of Your healing touch...
For these who are sick, have medical conditions, or have suffered accidents, I ask You to look upon them with Your mercy and compassion. I know our days are numbered and sometimes You have a different plan, but You have taught us that sometimes we don't have what's needed because we haven't asked, and so I ask for healing. May Your Spirit help me when I don't know what to ask, and above all, may Your will be done. (Romans 9:15; Psalm 139:16; James 4:2b; Romans 8:26; Matthew 6:10)
Heal those with the personal faith to be healed, and those whose friends who have the faith to ask on their behalf. (Matthew 9:20–22; 8:5–13)
If any are ill as a consequence of sin, I ask You to be merciful, to forgive and heal—as You healed the paralyzed man whose friends lowered him through the roof. Sometimes sickness or a condition may be caused by an evil spirit; if that is the case, set them free. At times disease comes as discipline; where that is true, I ask that in Your love and mercy, You grant repentance and healing. Sometimes an illness is meant to bring You glory; may it be so for these I'm praying for. (Exodus 15:26; Psalm 25:6; 2 Timothy 2:25; Matthew 17:15–18; Luke 13:11–13; John 11:4)
In Jesus' name, Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for the strength we have in You, so that we are able to do all things that You ask us to do. Lord, may we grow in the character of God, so that we are fruitful in the things of God. Lord, I thank You for Your guidance, so that we will make the right choices today, in order to avoid those things that would cause us to have future problems. I also thank You for daily provision, as well as provision for the future. Give me wisdom, so that I may take care of the things today that will bring me future security and blessing. I do appreciate Your promises and I know that You will never forsake me, nor leave me. Thank You for that. I pray in the precious name of Jesus. Amen.

Dear Lord, in this new year ahead, let me not forget that a song isn't my song until I sing it, my joy isn't complete unless I can share it, and my love isn't real love until I give it away! Oh Lord, help me to see that it is in giving that I receive ... that if I try to keep everything to myself I will smother both Your light and mine. Help me, Lord, to remember these things and to let others see You through me.
In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.

Encouragement and Comfort
Colossians 4:7-11
Dear Father,
Give us caring hearts when it comes to our fellow servants in Christ. May we carry the news of them to each other for the sake of building each other up.
Stir us up to work hard for the kingdom of God and to encourage each other in all facets of our labor.
Show us ways that we can encourage each other in our struggles and comfort each other in our sufferings.
In the name of Jesus I ask. Amen.
