The Chronicles Prayer - March 2008
(A prayer for a movement of God in Virginia based on Chronicles 7:14.)

Lord, we, the Virginia Baptists, are your people who are called by your Name. We are humbling ourselves today. We are praying and seeking your face. We are turning from our wicked ways. Lord, please hear our prayers in heaven. Please forgive us of our sins. And please, Lord, heal our land.

The Prayer of Christ - April 2008
(A prayer for people who have no religious affiliation in Virginia based on John 17:20-24.)

Father, we are not just praying for the followers of Christ. We are praying for the lost people who will have faith in your Son, Jesus Christ, because of what the followers of Christ will say about Him. Father, we would like for all of the lost people to be one with us – just like we are one with You and You are one with us. When this happens, the lost people of every nation will believe that You sent your Son, Jesus Christ. Father, we would like everyone who comes to know Christ to walk with Him daily – wherever He leads them. Then, they will see the glory that You have given Christ, because You loved Him before the world was created.

Lord, make a way for the 670 to spread Your message and explain the mystery of Christ. Lord, make Your message as clear as possible. When the 670 are with lost people, always have them make good use of their time. Help them to be pleasant. Help them to hold the attention of lost people as they share Your message. Help them to choose their words carefully. Lord, please help the 670 to be ready to give the right answers to anyone who asks questions.

The Ephesians Prayer - June 2008
(A prayer for the churches in Virginia out of which the 670 will emerge based on Ephesians 3:14-21.)

Father, we fall on our knees before You because every family in heaven and on earth receives their true name from You. We pray that out of the wealth of Your glory, You would strengthen us with power. Through Your Spirit in our inner being, allow Christ to make His home in our hearts through faith. As we are being rooted and grounded in Your love, we pray that – together with all of Your people – we might have the power to understand the length, width, depth, and height of Christ’s love. We know that Christ’s love surpasses all of our knowledge combined, so thank you for filling us with a perfect measure of Your grace. Now, to You Lord – who is able to do much more than we can ever ask or imagine and according to Your power that is at work within us – to You be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
