Prayer For The Workforce

Luke 24:49
Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.
Acts 1:8
But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

MATT CANDLER
Father we come before you and we lift up all those in the work place who love your son this morning. As they are making their way to their places of work, we gather before your throne and we bring your promises back to you. We speak them into your holy heart. Father you have promised that if we would gather, if we would tarry, if we would wait in a receptive posture before you, to hear your word, to seek your light to gaze upon you, to take your word and to turn it back in to prayer to you, that you would pour out your Spirit, that you would in fact endue your people with power even as you did in Jerusalem - with power from on high.
. . . Lord we bring before you the work force of our city, all those who love you, and all those you love, the ones you are committed to fight for; those you desire to send out as salt and light, to preserve the very fabric of our society, and to lift up the light of your countenance. We lift them up to you and we ask, oh that you would pour out your Spirit upon them; that you would endue them with power. We pray for power upon their hearts, power upon their arms, power upon their inner man and the stretching forth of their hands, that you would establish the working of their hands in the beauty of the Lord.
. . . Father we ask that you would pour out your Spirit and endue them with power from on high. We thank you that you are not a God who is far off and distant; that you are a God so very near, that you have made your home within us. Lord we ask today that you would endue them with power. We pray for the mothers, God, training their children at home, for all those working in every area of life, that you would send them out with power upon their hearts, and power upon their hands, that they would be witnesses unto you, light in the dark places, that they would be salt and light preserving the glory of your purposes among the people they meet.
. . . We ask you today Father, in the name of Jesus, that you would look upon all those in the work force who love you, and today as we tarry, pour out your Spirit and endue them with power. In Jesus name we pray God, pour out your Spirit.

Chorus:
Endue them with power from on high;
Look down from heaven and shine your light.
