Community Prayer

We join together in the spiritual practice of prayer. Here's what our church family is lifting up this week:

SUNDAY - Father, we praise you for your power and might. Help us to keep a proper understanding of who we are and who you are. Help us remember that you are the one who knows all things and can do all things, far beyond our ability to understand.

MONDAY - Father, you created us and we are your people. You are good and your lovingkindness is everlasting. For this, we thank you and bless you and joyfully praise you (Psalm 100).

TUESDAY - Father, we thank you for the beauty and wonder of your creation. You provide trees to give us shade, flowers to brighten our world, birds to sing to us, and water, even when we are in a dry season. The mountains and oceans display the majesty of what you have made. We are surrounded by the heavens declaring your glory and the sky proclaiming your handiwork (Psalm 19:1).

WEDNESDAY - Father, we always rejoice in you and give thanks in all things (1 Thess. 5). We thank you that we can have an attitude of joyful contentment in any circumstance because of what you have done for us, and we are trusting that you are working all things out for our good. We wake up each morning by your grace and thank you for all the good things you have done for us.

THURSDAY - Father, we thank you that we do not have to be anxious. We thank you that we can take our cares to you in prayer and that you fill us with your peace. We are grateful that because you are our helper, we don’t have anything to fear (Hebrews 13:6).

FRIDAY - Father, thank you for your countless blessings and your unwavering love. We are appreciative of the gift of life, the air we breathe, and the food you provide. Thank you for strength for the body and for our health because every good and perfect gift comes from you (James 1:17).

SATURDAY - Father, thank you for walking with us through some of life's most difficult times, giving us comfort and teaching us valuable lessons. We are grateful that you lead us in your truth and teach us as you guide us through each step of the journey (Psalm 25:4).
