Day 2: Friday, May 2: Preparing to live for His glory.
Father in heaven, You are the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, and Your Name is holy.
You have commanded us not to take Your Name in vain, nor to profane or blaspheme Your Name.
Yet Your Name has been profaned among the nations and many people had forgotten Your Name and stretched out their hands to other gods. We confess that we have transgressed your command.
As we now pray and confess Your Name, and turn from our sin, please hear and restore us.
Please forgive us, and sanctify Your Name so that all nations, even Your adversaries, shall know that You are Lord and fear Your Name.
Unite our hearts to fear Your Name so that we will depart from iniquity and will hold fast to Your Name and not deny You.
Forgive us for wanting to make a name for ourselves. Forgive us for our foolish jealousies and selfish ambitions.
You revealed your Name through your Son, Jesus Christ, and You have given us his Name to call upon for salvation.
We declare that at His Name every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to your honor and glory.
Sanctify your Name amongst us as we unite to pray and seek your face.
We lift our voices and bless your Name!
Amen
Rejoice with us as 212 countries will participate in the Global Day of Prayer.
Only 8 of 220 countries outstanding
Day 1: Thursday, May 1 2008: Prepare to encounter God as His people.
Lord God, You created us because You are a God of love.
You purchased us with the blood of your Son, Jesus Christ, when we were still sinners, and invited us to enter into your presence behind the veil.
We present ourselves to You today as your beloved children, to serve You in spirit and in truth.
Set our hearts ablaze with love and obedience to You.
Cleanse us from all filthiness so that we can encounter You with pure and undefiled hearts.
Teach us to tarry in your presence and to simply wait on You.
You are the One who is enthroned in the heavens. You are God from eternity to eternity.
You are indescribable in glory and holiness. You abound in love, faithfulness and truth.
You cannot lie and will fulfill all your promises to us.
You called us as witnesses in the Kingdom of your Son.
Allow us to become eyewitnesses of your work among the children of mankind in our generation.
As we gather to pray as families, churches and communities, fill us with faith that You will bring lasting transformation in our lives and throughout entire communities.
Let your Kingdom come, let your Will be done on earth today as it is in heaven.

WE PRAISE THE LORD FOR THE 210 COUNTRIES WHO ARE PARTICIPATING IN THE GLOBAL DAY OF PRAYER
We are receiving wonderful testimonies of how the Lord is using people from all ages, denominations, ministries etc to spread the news.
In many countries the prayer movement has grown from one small gathering to a National Prayer movement just because someone was obedient and willing but there are many countries that still need a lot of work.
