I grew up in a church that used the Book of Common Prayer, and while many of the churches who use the BCP do not believe in the inerrancy or trustworthiness of the Bible, the BCP is still 100% biblical. In fact, I would say it was the first book on praying God's word, because most of the prayers and liturgy in it are directly bible verses. So, one thing it has is an order of things to pray about and then it gives examples that people use in church services to follow this order. Here's the excerpt:<br />"Prayer is offered with intercession for<br />The Universal Church, its members, and its mission<br />The Nation and all in authority<br />The welfare of the world<br />The concerns of the local community<br />Those who suffer and those in any trouble<br />The departed"<br /> I really miss it. I miss the whole congregation being called to pray for our leaders, and for the whole Body of Christ, etc. So thanks for the reminder!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
