Gracious heavenly Father, we lift up our souls to You in
prayer, trusting that as we come to You in Jesus’ name, we will not be put to
shame:
Bless the missionary work of Your Church throughout the
world that Your name would be made known to Your adversaries. Support and encourage missionaries and their
families. Convert those who do not yet
believe in You. And protect all of those
who are persecuted for Your name’s sake.
When we are confronted by our sins and begin to question our
salvation remind us that Your Son Jesus Christ has taken away our iniquities
and made a way for us back to You. Fill
us with Your Spirit so that we would call upon His name in faith and be saved.
Remind us in all the difficulties of life that You are our
potter and we are the clay so that we would trust the work that Your hands are
accomplishing in every moment and circumstance.
According to Your wise fatherly will grant healing to those ill and meet
the material needs of those who do not have the necessities of life.
Comfort those who mourn with the promise of Your Son that
because he lives we also shall live.
Especially do we remember Lucy and her family at the death of her
brother Joseph that You would be with them in the days ahead and surround them
with Your love.
Fill us with Your Holy Spirit and equip us with every
spiritual gift as we wait for the return of our Savior so that we would be
found faithful on that day.
We thank You that You have called us into the fellowship of
Your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord. Especially do we thank You for the gift of
life and faith that You have granted to Your servant Jack and pray that as he
celebrates a birthday You would grant him every good gift of body and soul.
Open our eyes to the signs of Jesus’ return that are all
around us. When we become spiritually
drowsy, awaken us again and again by Your Word so that we would be ready to
meet him when he comes again in glory.
Until that day O faithful God, sustain to the end, guiltless
in Your sight. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
