Page 31 - Power Guide - January week 1 2019 FINAL

Holy Spirit, remind us as a Church Family that we
are to be holy just as God, our Father, who chose us
is holy. He has commanded this of us. Give us the
strength to think clearly and to exercise self-control.
Keep us mindful that the Father will judge or reward
us according to what we do. Help us to release past
and present offenses and to be willing to forgive one
another just as God has forgiven us. Teach us how
to dwell together in unity. Walk us through the steps
of rebuilding loving fellowship between us. Help us
to obey Your command to “love your neighbor as
yourself” so that we will not self-destruct by always
biting and devouring one another. Give us a willing
heart to allow You to guide our lives so that we won’t
do what our sinful nature craves. Show our leaders
how to mend their broken relationships and restore
balance to our Church Family.

Merciful Father, forgive our many sins. We
have sinned against You and against one another.
Forgive us for holding onto grudges and for seeking
vengeance upon our brothers and sisters in the Lord.
Forgive us for leaning toward our own understanding
and failing to acknowledge You in all our ways.
Forgive those amongst us who are being false
witnesses, pouring out lies and sowing discord in our
Church family. Forgive those of us who have stood
by passively allowing sin and deception to go
unaddressed. Forgive us for not heeding the
warnings of the Holy Spirit and being hesitant to
obey Your commands. Lord, forgive me for (list any
sins that You have committed).
