Prayers of Thanksgiving, Praise, and Worship 

In some form, “thanks” is mentioned 138 times in scripture, “praise” is written 265 times, and “worship” is found 197 times. For an extended time of prayer, read the entirety of the Psalms that have an asterisk (*) beside them. Meditate and apply the scriptures to your own heart and situation. Take time to REMEMBER! 

“And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the Lord, offer it at your own will” (Leviticus 22:29). 

“Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works” (I Chronicles 16:8, 9). 

“… And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee …” (II Samuel 7:26). 

Psalm 100:1-5 - A Psalm of Praise unto God * 

Psalm 18:1-3 - Praise to God on a Day of Deliverance * 

Psalm 30:4, 5, 11, 12 - A Song of Dedication and Praise * 

Psalm 50:1, 14, 15, 22, 23 - Our God is a Righteous Judge * 

Psalm 79:13; Psalm 95:1-3 - A Call to Worship and Obedience * 

Psalm 107:1-3 - Thanksgiving to the LORD for His Great Works of Deliverance * 

Psalm 116:1-2 - Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death * 

In I Thessalonians 5:16-18 Paul writes about God’s will for you! “Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”

The Passion of Prayer 

“For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God” (Deuteronomy 4:24). 

The passion of prayer consists of three important ingredients that make up the spirit of prayer: 

1. Activating a passion for God’s presence 
2. Igniting a passion for people who are lost 
3. Demonstrating a passion for the people of God 

The passion and spirit of prayer should always include a passion for the presence of Jesus … crying and reaching for His presence to be manifested in our families and in the local church. We should seek for God’s presence to be pervasive among the saints. Men and women should hunger for Apostolic holiness living and thirst for revelatory Word in the local church. The passion for His presence must be manifested in our pulpits and song services. It must be manifested in our Sunday school classes and bus routes. (Read Psalm 42:1) 

Passion for God’s presence. This is to desire (through prayer) an increased intensity of Ezekiel’s waters in the Temple, moving from ankle-high, to knee-high, to waist-high. Until we ultimately are swimming in His passion. This tangible passion combats carnality, politics, and worldliness in the church. It destroys demonic yokes in our congregations. It produces unity and a flowing harmony among the people. 

Passion for people who are lost. This is the true spirit of prayer, that God would increase our passion for loving and winning people. Exodus 32:32 shows amazing passion for people. The spirit of prayer is God increasing our burden and pain tolerance for lost souls who come into our churches with heavy baggage from sin. 

Passion for the people of God. Paul said, “My little children who I travail in pain and prayer until Christ be formed in you” (Galatians 4:19). The spirit of prayer is God increasing our passion for enduring and longsuffering one for another in the local church. It means to tangibly receive a fresh love and healing wounds for God’s people so you can continue to love them in spite of their past. This kind of passion is contagious among the people. The saints will see and witness this kind of passion and it will bring healing and security to them in the local church. 

PRAY: 

• God would saturate the local pastor with fresh fire and renewing of the presence of God, in which he/she seeks this more than the work of God. 
• For a fresh presence on the minister’s spouse and children. 
• For the passion of God’s presence upon our missionaries worldwide. 
• For godly passion to be manifested in our local churches. Pray visitors are Spirit-filled, healed, and delivered in our services. 
• Pray for the saints to experience fresh passion that produces more unity in leadership and holiness living in the local churches. 
• Pray for the passion of God’s presence to manifest so strong that He gives wisdom and counsel to the local pastor. 
• For the passion of God’s presence to draw visitors and backsliders to our churches. 
• For the spirit of prayer to sweep through our church leadership in the local church, where the vision of the pastor is being carried as God leads.

24/7 WATCH: A Year-Round Initiative for 24/7 Prayer

As of January 1, 2023, WNOP has continued the 24/7 prayer and fasting chain worldwide. It has been such a great success in 2022 that it was requested again. Each week WNOP is posting a prayer focus as daily prayer for the entire week. Also, weekly a video is posted on the WNOP Facebook Page of a prayer leader and/or minister leading in periodic prayer.

Many people throughout the world have signed up by committing in their hearts unto God that they will consistently join together in united prayer and fasting. WNOP also has partnered with those in local churches who are already a part of a current 24-hour prayer chain. All of these hours of consecration are culminating to help provide a complete mass prayer covering over the entire Church body and to help bring greater success in all that we do in Christ! Together, let’s “watch and pray” and behold great and mighty things in the kingdom of God! Let’s prevail over the enemy with victory and declare, “Not on My Watch!”
