Praying Through Advent: Spirit of Joy

DECEMBER 15, Spirit of Joy
Adoration & Worship
Jesus, you came as a servant to a broken people, and we glorify you for your mercy! God of hope, you fill us with all joy and peace as we continue to trust you. It is in the power of the Holy Spirit that we abound in hope. Romans 15:8-9, 13

Repentance & Confession
Forgive me, LORD, for not walking in the Spirit more. I crucify the flesh with its passions and desires because they are against the Spirit. I belong to you, Jesus!Galatians 5:16-17, 24

Petition (asking for personal needs)
Holy Spirit, come and lead me. Come, bear your fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in me. I want to live by you and keep in step with you. Galatians 5:22-25

Intercession (praying for others)
Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. Instead, we want to be about matters of the kingdom—righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:26, Romans 14:17

Thanksgiving
Lord, I will rejoice in you always, and then, I will do it again because you are at hand. Without being anxious—rid me of anxiety—I make my requests known to you in thanksgiving. You are the God of peace who guards my heart and mind beyond comprehension. Philippians 4:4-7
