Prayer For We Are Church

God, we place Your church back into Your hands—where it belongs.
Strip away anything that is not from You: pride, fear, division, performance, and comfort.
Make this church a house of healing, not judgment; of truth, not compromise; of love, not control.

Guard the leadership with humility and courage.
Give pastors and servants clean hearts, steady minds, and bold obedience—especially when it’s uncomfortable.
Protect them from burnout, temptation, and distraction.

Cover every person who walks through these doors.
Meet the broken, the addicted, the doubting, the weary, and the lost right where they are.
Let no one leave unchanged after encountering Your presence.

Unite this church—not in sameness, but in purpose.
Teach us to serve instead of competing, listen instead of assume, and love like You love.

Let this church be a light in dark places, a refuge for the hurting, and a witness of real transformation.
Do what only You can do—revive us, correct us, and send us out.

We surrender our plans, our reputation, and our comfort to You. Build Your church Your way.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
