Dear Greenhouse Builder, we invite you to join us on a journey through prayer over the next several months. The Lord’s Prayer is the prayer map that Jesus gave to His original disciples in building the Kingdom with Him. It is one of the first tools He provided. As Greenhouse Builders, who intentionally say “yes” to co-laboring in His Kingdom, we can use the same tool here and now. Perhaps we could refer to it as The Kingdom Builders’ Prayer.

In each email we will invite you to approach this familiar prayer phrase-by-phrase with fresh eyes and a renewed heart. As you pray and act upon these prayers, you will help build Greenhouse within God’s Kingdom.

OUR FATHER, WHO IS IN HEAVEN, HOLY IS YOUR NAME

As you pray, honor God as holy; there is none who compares with Him. His ways are infinitely higher than our own. Spend time adoring Him in His holiness. Let Him increase, as you decrease.

As you call God your Father, recognize that you are a member of a family. Pray over the family of Greenhouse, as well as the families of Greenhouse. Prayerfully ask: “How can I help build the family of Greenhouse, cultivating stronger connections and abiding in the Greenhouse community? How can I nurture love and honor for all of our family members?”

Pray this over the Greenhouse community: “After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes and held palm branches in their hands. And they were shouting with a great roar, ‘Salvation comes from our God who sits on the throne and from the Lamb!’” Revelation 7:9-10
