Christ's Church in Rwanda 40 Days of Prayer Guide


Please join Christ’s Church in Rwanda in praying for Rwanda for the next 40 days as Presidential elections approach. Day 1 is 1 July 2010, and day 40 is 9 August 2010 (election day). What follows is a prayer guide that you may or may not choose to use. We believe that praying God’s word back to Him is very powerful (Isaiah 55:11), and we hope that you will agree with us in prayer.

Helpful information about praying these Scriptures

As mentioned above, we believe that praying the word of the Lord back to Him is powerful. Here is an example of how to pray the Scriptures on Day 2:

Dear Lord, I will shout for joy to all the earth and worship You with gladness. I will come before You with joyful songs. I will worship You with gladness and come before You with joyful songs. I know that You, the LORD, are God and it is You that has made us, and that we are Yours. We are Your people, the sheep of Your pasture. I will enter Your gates with thanksgiving and Your courts with praise; I will give thanks to You and praise Your name. For You are good and Your love endures forever; Your faithfulness continues through all generations.

Lord, Your word tells me that You will do whatever I ask in Your name, so that You may be glorified. It tells me that I may ask for anything in Your name, and You will do it.

Lord, Your word tells me that You will give whatever I ask for in Your name. It says that, if I ask, I will receive, and my joy will be complete.

Lord, Your word urges me to present requests, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving for everyone—for kings and all those in authority—that I may live a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and holiness.

(Follow with a request for peace in Rwanda, for example)

Lord, You know that Rwanda has struggled long and hard to reach a place of peace after the desolation that took place here. I ask in Jesus’ name that You will place Your hand of protection over our land as the presidential election approaches. I implore You on behalf of the people of Rwanda to help the election results to be of Your choosing, and that the president will look to You first for wisdom and guidance. May the nation of Rwanda look to You as the One True God. May Your name be glorified in what happens here in Rwanda and in all the earth.

In Jesus’ Name,

Amen
