Power Prayers: Communicate with God.

Choose a good reader to read Acts1:8 (NLT):

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be My witnesses, telling people about Me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Can you guess who said this? Jesus.

After Jesus rose from the dead, and just before He went up to heaven, He gave His disciples this command. What is the command? To be His witnesses everywhere.

What did Jesus say we need to be His witnesses? The power of the Holy Spirit.

Today, our prayer is for God to fill us with His power. Why do we need power? To share the Gospel, to do His work.

We are going to pray for God’s power right now. If you’d like to pray aloud, raise your hand and pray something written on the board, or pray in your own words for the power to share the Good News.

Allow time for children to pray.

Close in prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, as believers in Jesus, we have the wonderful privilege of sharing the Good News with others. Thank You that when people trust in Jesus, they will be forgiven and have new life. Fill us with Your power—not to impress people, but to be witnesses and boldly declare Your plan of salvation and Your loving kindness to people everywhere. In Your power and Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
