INTERCESSORY PRAYER GUIDE

Prayers to support and strengthen our Pastors and Church

MAY 1, 2021
LIBERTY CORNER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
 "O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together."
-Psalm 34:3

Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for your willingness to intercede on behalf of Liberty Corner Presbyterian
Church, our pastors, staff, and ministries. It has been said that nothing of eternal significance
happens apart from prayer. Afterall, it is prayer that connects our heart to the heart of God. We
cannot do anything apart from God and therefore a strong and faithful prayer life within the
church is critical.

Our vision is that prayer would be a part of the DNA at our church – that it would be
foundational to and saturate every aspect of the individual and corporate life at LCPC. You are
an integral part of this vision.

The heart of this guide is to help you pray consistently and intentionally over time for the
purposes of the Lord at LCPC. This prayer guide is intended to be a tool you can use as you
intercede on behalf of the church. It contains suggested prayers and requests. It is not
intended to be an exhaustive list of prayers or requests. It is, in fact, a work-in-progress - a
“living” document which we will occasionally update with new prayer requests as the Holy
Spirit leads and as the needs arise. We hope you will take advantage of this tool as you pray
faithfully, fervently, and hopefully.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please send us an email at

exalt@libertycorner.org.

Thank you, again, for your participation in what God is doing at LCPC. Let us pray in faith with
hope and certainty that God is accomplishing His purposes for His glory. We look forward to
what God has in store for us as we pray!

With gratitude,

Exalt Team
