Prayer for Our Inheritance and God’s Presence Among Us

Ezekiel 47:13-48:35

Sovereign Lord,

I pray for this day for myself and ______________________. I pray that you will grant to each of us our full inheritance in Christ. Teach us to appropriate all of your riches which have been promised to us in him. We thank you for blessing us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ, and for sealing us with the promised Holy Spirit, our deposit guaranteeing our redemption as your own possession.

We read here your instructions about how aliens were to be treated. It reminds us that we too were once separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship among your people, foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope, and without you in the world. I thank you that now, in Christ, we who once were far away, have been brought near through the blood of Christ.

I pray that you will so work in our lives that people would say of us, “The Lord is there.” We ask you to work in our church so that people would say, “The Lord is there.” We ask you to work in our city so that people would say of it, “The Lord is there.” And we ask you to work in our nation so that people would say of us, “The Lord is there.”

In the name of Jesus, amen.
