2022 is rapidly coming to a close. Next weekend, we'll be strutting into the month of October, meaning December is right around the corner and 2023 will quickly follow.
However, before we enter a new year, let's look back at this one and the prayer requests we had when it began. Some think it is too late for their unanswered prayers to come to pass. The word of God says that with God all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). Therefore, God can do anything in an instant and there's no need to this year is too far gone. There's plenty of time left in 2022 for Him to answer prayers.
So, what one solitary thing have you been waiting on God to do for you? That one prayer that's been stuck on your prayer list and carried over from one year to another? Now is the time to share it and have someone else pick it up as a prayer point in today's fellowship. Let us join our faith with that of our fellow intercessors during today's prayer segment.
God bless you!
Almighty God! You are the Alpha and the Omega. Jehovah Shammah. You reign forever and Your faithful ones give You all the glory!
Lord, I lift up Your children in P&P who have ventured into entrepreneurship or who will. Thank You for being the God from whom all blessings flow.
I know satan wants to keep them from experiencing success in business, but what the devil wants is irrelevant for the earth is the Lord's and everything in it. The world and all who are in it are subject to Your complete and irreversible authority. Hallelujah!
And so Lord, I thank You for blessing Your children with the capacity to go forth in business ventures. I call on You with the word in Deuteronomy 33:11 - Bless all his skills, LORD, and be pleased with the work of his hands. Strike down those who rise against him, his foes till they rise no more.”
IJMN, Amen.
CLOSING PRAYER
Glory to God in the highest! Thank You, my King, for bringing us together today. We are grateful for this grace and mercy. Thank You for the time to honor You with praise and petitions for others.
I pray our fellowship rose as a sweet-smelling incense to You and call on You to remember us for honoring Your instruction to obey You.
I place today's participants as well as those who will read this thread at a later point, will be blessed and that their lives will be transformed to Your glory, IJMN, Amen.
Lord, I want to ask You for a special blessing on those who took the time to lift others up in prayer. I call on You to anoint them with Your grace, increased blessings and more. I call on You to accelerate their own prayers and requests that they will witness the incredible promise of Amos 9:13-15 in quick succession. And that they will testify to Your glory before the end of this year, IJMN, Amen.
Amos 4:13 -- For behold, He who forms mountains, And creates the wind, Who declares to man what his thought is, And makes the morning darkness, Who treads the high places of the earth— The LORD God of hosts is His name.
Abba, You alone are God. Regardless of what we see in this world, our lives are completely in Your hands, we are completely at Your mercy. We repent of any sins that have displeased You and opened the door to any form of lack in our lives.
We receive forgiveness from You by faith, because Your word says You are faithful to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 Jn 1:9).
Now God, using the name of Your son Jesus, we receive everything You want us to have and the complete fulfillment of Your promises. From today, we will see the change in our everyday lives. This is my expectation, which will not be cut short (Prov 23:18). Amen!
LAST 10 MINUTES
We spent today talking about and thinking about what we're waiting on God to do for us. By now, you should have shared what that is.
I believe that somebody in the group picked up your prayer request and prayed on it. If you didn't have the time to pray for someone else because of work or other commitments, now is the time to drop a prayer for someone in the group.
If you already interceded for someone else, God bless you richly and I pray the Lord will remember you for putting your needs to the side on behalf of someone else. Thank you for being so selfless.
Now, let's do something we don't tend to do in P&P - pray for ourselves. Share another prayer request and pray for yourself. Then, allow others to join you in faith by saying Amen, adding scripture, or some other encouraging word.
When you are done, praise the Lord. Today, you agreed with someone about something they are waiting on God for. I pray someone else picked up your prayer point and agreed with you on it IJN, Amen.
Mighty King, the systems of this world are all in Your hands. You, our Lord, are our judge, our, lawgiver, our King (Isaiah 33:22). Lord it is not by the strength of our hands, but it is You who gives us power to make wealth (Deut. 8:18).
King of Kings, please remember Your children who need You to pay off their debts. You promised that they will lend to many and borrow from none. Please bless them so the whole earth will fear You.
Father, please forgive them or their ancestors if there is any sin that opened the door to this happening. You promised that the blood of Jesus speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. Let Your mercies to them be new every morning (Lam. 3:22-23), especially from today. In Jesus mighty name I pray, amen.
Gracious God with a merciful hand, I am here to thank You first of all for this moment. Thank You for clear prayer points.
Father I stand in the gap for all who need healing and deliverance from all infirmity. King of Kings, I lift Your infallible word before you, the Word that You promised will never return to You void, but will accomplish what You have sent it to do. Father -- You promised that You are He who forgives all our iniquities and heals all our diseases (Psalm 103:3).
Our God, though it seems that the wait has been long, we can only trust in You. Remember Your children for their patience, and please let their healing breakthrough come through speedily. No more bad reports, only favorable reports, in Jesus name -- amen
From sis OD - Good morning! We praise God for another day, and we thank him for his grace.
From BI - Lord, I lift up the elderly into Your capable hands. I thank You Lord for their lives. I pray that they are sustained in weakness and they live life to the full in each moment God has given them. Lord, let them know that You are with them every day until the end of age. Lord, bless them with joy and Your transcending peace. Grant them the joy of companionship and protect them from all harm and evil. Strengthen their trust in Your healing mercy and send Your sheltering angels to watch over them IJMN Amen.
PRAYERS
By now, you know who you're going to pray for today.
Can you please turn off the ringer and all notifications on your phone for the next 25 minutes? Ignore any other distractions that want to keep you from praying for folks.
Focus.
Pray.

you've been doing interesting things in nature in our area recently
the gospel afrobeats song I'm hearing right now is sweeet (Jesu ni Logo -- Gaise Baba)
Lord, You told me to do something yesterday that seemed impossible. I was so confused but I thank You for taking me back to other times where You'd sent me to do things that seemed impossible.
I want to take this opportunity to thank You for giving me prior experience to rely upon. I want to also thank You for giving me Your word and assurance that what You'd called me to do would work out.
Finally, I want to say thank You, God of my ancestors, for keeping Your word. The end result was exactly what You told me it would be!
You who do not lie! You who cannot fail! I testify to Your glory, Your might and Your power.
Hallelujah!

*From MFC* - God of Jacob, thank You that You are faithful to fulfill all Your promises. Help my faith to grow as I learn from the faith of Your people. Like David, give me the faith to trust You when confronted by giants. Like the prophets, give me the faith to trust Your word. Like Mary, give me the faith to trust You when my world seems to be turned upside down. Like the disciples give me the faith to trust You when things don’t go the way I expect. Transform my life Lord and fill me with faith through Jesus Christ, our Lord. AMEN!
*From B2* - Good morning, P&P family! May all of you have a blessed Friday! Today, I pray that whatever anyone is going through. Always remember that God and Jesus are walking step by step with us! There is sunshine after it rains. God bless!

And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

*From MFC* - - God restored my Mother's health. She no longer has to use a walker and her feeding tube was removed!
- God blessed my children, My youngest daughter is recovering from Covid. My Son didn't have it. The Holy Spirit comforted my oldest daughter in her depression and renewed her will to live.
- God gave me the desires of my heart, allowing me to officially launch my charity baking cakes for underserved children in my community next month.
- God continues to strengthen my marriage and my Husband and I will celebrate 20 years together next month.
All of this, plus a reasonable portion of health and strength as I face my chronic medical issues.
Thank you Father God for all of these things, and so much more! Food, shelter, protection, and a chance to live life more abundantly in you today.
PRAISE
God is amazing! He is the reason why I'm alive and able to fellowship with you right now. I thank Him that you are reading these words.
He's done a lot of incredibly great things for me and the people I pray for, so I'm going to give Him praise. I've seen Him solve problems I never could have fixed. He's saved me from death numerous times. I've watched Him turn things around and I'm grateful.
What about you? What has God done for you? What has He done for people you know?
Let us come together to honor Him with thanks, praise, and worship.

From IA84- Good morning everyone! Thank you all for being here. I wanted to stop in before I take care of some important work. But thanks to God, first and foremost for another day. I'm thankful for health, shelter, clothing, bills paid, no debt, and blessed favor. I give thanks for my still upcoming move, though things have been slightly delayed. Each day, God is telling me to stay patient and trust that he is taking care of everything. I pray blessings, safety and greatness over everyone here. We are worthy and deserving of the best and nothing less. Thanks be to God for his goodness, his mercy, his kindness, his safety and his love. In Jesus' name, Amen!

The one thing I have been waiting on God to do for me is to bless our family business. We've come a long way over the years, but God still has more in store for us. I declare that our business will allow us to work for ourselves, unto the Lord and leave a lasting legacy for our children and the generations to come.
Lord, my Rock and Redeemer thank you that you are faithful to fulfill all your promises. You have promised that You will make all things work together for my good. I pray that You would give me new opportunities to pursue and that I would trust that You are working even when I can not see it. Give me the assurance that Your plans for me are the best possible plans for my life. Let me hold onto YOU. May grace and peace be mine in abundance, through the knowledge of God and of Jesus, our Lord. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.
From CD - As I consider my years in prayer, what I have come to learn beyond a shadow of a doubt is that GOD IS ALWAYS ON TIME!!! I am thankful that God did not give me the things I have prayed for when I wanted them, but, He has provided them when He knew I needed them!! Just as a parent we don't give our 5 year old that car they so desperately want, we wait until they are experienced and prepared and can fully appreciate the gift and the responsibility of ownership. I am so grateful that God knows me better than I know myself because all promises with God are Yes & Amen.
Heavenly Father, I come to You continuing to give You all that I am, I turn it all over to You. You continue to be God and I will continue to be obedient as I trust You with & for everything and doubt You for absolutely nothing as I continue to travel this path You have so eloquently designed for me.
All things in Your Mighty, Unmatchable Name!!!
I love you all
From AC - Thank You, Abba for this day you have made. I rejoice and I am glad for in it because Your presence is with me. Thank You for being a loving and patient Father, and for never forsaking me. Thank You for Your mercy and grace and for always taking care of us. All glory belongs to You alone. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Friday greetings P&P fam. It's good to be back in fellowship with you all. If you could please pray for complete healing and restoration for me and the members of my household. That any upcoming tests for major disease are negative and for there to be no more new devastating diagnoses, in Jesus' Name. I am tired of this rollercoaster. Thank you all.
