“Offer prayers and petitions in the Spirit all the time. Stay alert by hanging in there and praying for all believers”
Eph 6:18 (CEB)
Praise God…
- the three-in-one – Father, Son and Holy Spirit
- who creates and sustains everything
- who has redeemed us through His only Son, Jesus
- who lives in us and in whom we live
Thank God for…
- the encouragements He sends us, as individuals, as a church family and as a nation (name these)
- His gracious persistence in transforming us into the likeness of Christ
- the challenges He has presented us with at home, at work, in church, in our relationships and in our community (name these)
- all those with the courage to proclaim the Good News in a ‘bad news’ world (name those known to you)
Ask God to…
- give us ‘stronger backs rather than lighter burdens’
- turn His face towards us and, in mercy, to those who do not yet know Him (name those known to you)
- grant strength and endurance to all those facing difficult trials whether of health, wealth or heartache (name those known to you)
- help those who are suffering directly or indirectly from the effects of Covid-19 (name those known to you)
As we trust that our God can…
- make the impossible possible
- restore and renew us as His children and His people
In the name of Christ we pray,
Amen
