Praying Through Advent: The Wise Virgins

December 20, The Wise Virgins

Adoration & Worship
Jesus, our betrothed king! You love us, your church and bride. You gave yourself for us that we may be sanctified and be presented without blemish before you. There’s going to be a wedding! Ephesians 5:25-27

Repentance & Confession
Forgive me, Lord, for presuming I am ready. Presumption is as idolatry. I don’t want idols, I want oil. 1 Samuel 15:23, Matthew 25:8-10

Petition (asking for personal needs)
Your coming is as sure as the dawn, I’m pressing into to know you, Lord, to fill my lamp with oil. To be part of the bridal company that has extra oil. Hosea 6:3, Matthew 25:1-13

Intercession (praying for others)
In your delay, Lord, strengthen us so we can endure until the end, to see your salvation and testify of the kingdom. That we would discern the times. Matthew 24:14, Matthew 16:3, Matthew 25:5

Thanksgiving
You are coming, we don’t know when, but you are coming. While we wait, we devote ourselves to prayer with an alert mind and thankful heart. Matthew 25:10 &13, Colossians 4:2
