Father, search me and know me. Shine Your light into my thoughts, motives, and habits; expose what grieves Your Spirit and lead me to repent quickly. Create in me a soft heart, a willing spirit, and fresh delight in Your Word. Prepare me to intercede this month with faith and perseverance. Start Your work in me so You can work through me. In Jesus' name, amen.

Holy God, create in me a clean heart and renew a loyal spirit within me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and make me eager to obey. Wash away shame and self-reliance; fill me with the Holy Spirit's freedom. As we worship today, open ears, soften hearts, and exalt Jesus. Make Your joy my strength. Amen.

Lord, give me Paul's longing for those far from You. Place a holy ache in my chest for the five on my list; draw them by Your kindness, convict them by truth, and woo them by Your love. Give me tears and boldness, patience and hope, and chances to listen well. Let my prayers rise like incense and not grow weary. Save them, Lord. Amen.

Sovereign Lord, consider the fears and barriers around me and grant me great boldness to speak about Jesus with gentleness and respect. Stretch out Your hand to heal and confirm Your Word with power.

Jesus, thank You for dying for our sins, being buried, and rising again. Help me share this good news simply and clearly-no jargon, no fog-just Your truth in love. Remove the blinders of the enemy and the clutter of distractions. Let Your cross be beautiful and compelling to those I'm praying for. May many receive and stand firm in the gospel. Amen.

Lord of the harvest, our city is full of sheep without a shepherd. Raise up workers from Discovery-students, adults, families-who see people as You do. Call laborers into kids, students, Re:Gen, groups, and local mission. Send us where the need is greatest and the doors are open. Make our church a sending church. Amen.

Father, overwhelm the people on my heart with Your kindness today-in providence, people, and peace that cannot be explained. Let Your goodness disarm defensiveness and lead to sincere repentance. Replace shame with sonship, fear with faith, and bondage with freedom. Write testimonies we'll tell on Sundays. Your kindness is better than life. Amen.

Sower of the seed, make my heart good soil-deep, receptive, un-distracted. Protect the seed from the devil's theft, shallow roots, and choking thorns. Send rain of Your Spirit and sun of Your presence. Let the Word take root and bear thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold fruit. Keep us patient and hopeful as we wait. Amen.

Father, no one comes unless You draw them-so draw many today. Anoint the preaching, purify our worship, and give courage to respond. Silence lies, lift burdens, and awaken the spiritually sleepy. Save, heal, and restore in our gathering. We ask in Jesus' mighty name, amen.

Jesus, Head of the church, help us grow up into You. Knit us together in love so every part does its work-no spectators, no sideliners. Heal disunity, strengthen the weary, and help us speak the truth in love. Build Discovery into a healthy, radiant body that reflects Your heart to our city. Amen.

Generous God, give our elders and staff wisdom from above-pure, peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy. Guide decisions, budgets, and timelines; close wrong doors and spotlight right ones. Guard hearts from exhaustion and cynicism; renew first love. We trust You with all our hearts-direct our paths. Amen.

Lord, anchor us in sound teaching that produces love from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith. Keep us from cold correctness and from sloppy sentimentality; give us grace and truth together. Shape our minds by Scripture and our lives by the Spirit. Make orthodoxy overflow into orthopraxy. Amen.

Father, make Discovery a house of welcome. Help us receive people as Christ received us-warmly, patiently, joyfully. Remove barriers of fear, shame, and past wounds. Give us eyes to notice newcomers and courage to take the first step. Let strangers become family. In Jesus' name, amen.

Provider God, make us cheerful givers who sow generously and reap for every good work. Supply what we need for ministry, and multiply the seed to bless missionaries, mercy efforts, and the poor. Keep our finances transparent and our hearts detached from greed. Let thanksgiving rise to You through our giving. Amen.

Jesus, we come to You for rest. Exchange our heaviness for Your easy yoke and light burden. Renew pastors, staff, and volunteers-body, mind, and spirit. Restore joy in serving and margin in schedules. Teach us unforced rhythms of grace. Amen.

Holy Spirit, fill us again. Not by might, nor by power, but by Your presence-empower our praise, convict our hearts, and comfort the broken. Loosen tongues to sing and knees to bow. Make Jesus beautiful among us. Send us out overflowing. Amen.

Vine of life, graft me deep. Apart from You I can do nothing; in You, bear lasting fruit. Align my desires with Yours so I ask what delights Your heart. Prune what hinders love; increase what brings You glory. Let my life prove I am Your disciple. Amen.

Lord, I remember the height from which I've fallen-restore my first love. I repent of apathy, hurry, and spiritual performance. Help me return to the works of love: worship, obedience, and witness. Rekindle affection for Jesus above all gifts, roles, and outcomes. Light the fire again. Amen.

Holy God, make me holy in all I do. Search me and reveal hidden compromise; grant courage to confess, forgive, and make amends. Let my private life honor You more than my public words. Clothe our church in humility, purity, and integrity. Keep us near the cross. Amen.

Spirit of the Lord, proclaim freedom today. Break chains of addiction, bitterness, anxiety, and despair. Heal bodies, memories, and marriages. Breathe on Re:Gen and all care ministries-make them greenhouses of grace. For freedom Christ has set us free-establish us in it. Amen.

Jesus, teach us Your new command: to love as You have loved us. Heal conflicts, soften stubbornness, and grant quick forgiveness. Make our love visible enough that the watching world recognizes Your fingerprints. Let reconciliation be our culture and unity our witness. Amen.

Lord, set a guard over my mouth. Let no corrupt talk come out, only words that build, bless, and fit the moment. Purify my heart so my speech follows. Replace sarcasm and complaint with encouragement and gratitude. May the words of my mouth please You today. Amen.

Author and Perfecter, we fix our eyes on You. Help us throw off sin and every weight; give us endurance for the race marked out for us. For the joy set before You, You endured the cross-teach us that joy. Meet us in worship; steady our gaze. Amen.

God of steadfast love, we choose to rejoice, pray, and give thanks in all circumstances. Let gratitude shift the atmosphere of our hearts and homes. Open the gates with thanksgiving; fill our mouths with praise. Train us to fight discouragement with delight in You. Amen.

Jesus, You came to seek and save the lost-make our tables Your mission field. Give us eyes for the overlooked and courage to invite. Fill conversations with grace, curiosity, and hope. Let meals become altars where Your presence is felt and Your kindness tasted. Save around our tables. Amen.

Lord, season my words with grace and truth. Give me wisdom for timing, tenderness in tone, and courage to speak the hope within me. Help me ask good questions and really listen. Let my speech point to Jesus more than to me. Make me ready today. Amen.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all Your benefits-You forgive, heal, redeem, and satisfy. We thank You for daily mercies and eternal promises. Visit our families with peace; mend strained relationships. Draw those we love to Yourself this very day. May our gratitude honor You at the table. Amen.

Holy and True One, You open and no one shuts. Set before Discovery open doors for the gospel-in our neighborhoods, schools, and networks. Give us favor with leaders, unity with churches, and creativity for mission. Keep us faithful with what You've given. Lead on, Lord. Amen.

King of glory, let me see You high and lifted up. Cleanse my lips with grace, remove my excuses, and tune my ear to Your call. When You ask, "Whom shall I send?" let my heart answer, "Here am I-send me." Assign me to Your harvest today. Amen.

Spirit and Bride say, "Come." Wake me from spiritual sleep; clothe me with the armor of light. Prepare our church to welcome many this Advent; let salvation spring up in our city. Come, Lord Jesus-come to save, to sanctify, to satisfy. We long for You. Amen.
