"Pray without ceasing" 1 Thessalonians 5:17
PR (Praise), IN (Intercession), CF (Confession), SG (Spiritual Growth), or MN (Ministry Needs)
SG: Father, as we celebrate this day of thanksgiving please help us to see that all we have, all we enjoy, and all hope comes from you.
PR: Father, as we end these forty days of prayer, we thank you for the commitment of all those who have participated. We thank you for all of our prayers you have answered in the past. We praise you for all the prayers you will answer in the future. We thank you for inviting us to turn our cares into prayers and to bring them to you. We praise you for providing this means of communication and allowing us to share our concerns with you.
SG: Father, help us to maintain the discipline of our devotion to you; to continue to come before your throne daily; to remain dependent on you day by day for our every need. Help us, Father, to grow spiritually as a result of these forty days, and to deepen our faith and love for you.

SUNRISE PRAYER
GOD, make us as the sun. Let the light of your love shine through us. Let your joy shoot from our bodies so we are shining.
Let us take your love into a world of darkness. There are so many people out there who are lost and waiting for someone to light the way. On this new day, make us your servants, God.
Let people look to us for light. The sun shines on everybody, Lord. Anyone can stand in its warmth and see by its light. Make us like the sun, God.
Help us to be worthy of the job. When people look to us, let us show them the light of your love. Let us light the path so that they can find you, too. Amen
-Steven L. Case
