If you choose to pray for any/all the
individuals on our prayer list, the Council
asks that you mention each person by name
and the malady to be relieved/lessened.
This way, each person is attributed the full
measure of God’s attention and mercy in
response to your specific intercession.

The following Scripture passages can be
used as your specific prayer of Petition,
Assurance or Thanksgiving for each person
you select from the prayer list. Take the
liberty to work in the person’s name and
condition into the prayer to personalize the
message if you like. God is not concerned
with absolute formality when you pray; talk
to Him freely in any way you wish and He
will listen.

PETITION
You may use this extract from Psalm #69 or
Psalm #31 to intercede for God’s favor on
behalf of the person for whom you are
praying.

Psalm 69 Vs 2-3; 14-18
2
Save me, God, for the waters have reached
my neck.
3
I have sunk into the mire of the deep, where
there is no foothold. I have gone down to the
watery depths; the flood overwhelms me.
14
But I pray to you, LORD, for the time of your
favor. God, in your great kindness answer
me with your constant help.
15
Rescue me from the mire; do not let me sink.
Rescue me from my enemies and from the
watery depths.
16
Do not let the floodwaters overwhelm me,
nor the deep swallow me, nor the mouth of
the pit close over me.
17
Answer me, LORD, in your generous love; in
your great mercy turn to me.
18
Do not hide your face from your servant; in
my distress hasten to answer me.

Psalm 31 Vs 2-4; 10-11; 16-17

2
In you, LORD, I take refuge; let me never be
put to shame. In your justice deliver me;
3
incline your ear to me; make haste to rescue
me! Be my rock of refuge, a stronghold to
save me.
4
You are my rock and my fortress; for your
name's sake lead and guide me.
10
Be gracious to me, LORD, for I am in
distress; with grief my eyes are wasted, my
soul and body spent.
11
My life is worn out by sorrow, my years by
sighing. My strength fails in affliction; my
bones are consumed.
16
My times are in your hands; rescue me from
my enemies, from the hands of my pursuers.
17
Let your face shine on your servant; save
me in your kindness.

3

guardian does not sleep.
4
