Prayers: Week of March 8, 2020

Mar 08, 2020   •  

Prayer and praise will be our power house: ‘“Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.”  We urge all believers to raise up the church in prayers, expecting God to move and act.  The church staff will be praying over these requests every Wednesday from 11:45 am – 12 noon.  Please join them wherever you are to uphold CCC and her people in prayer.  Additional requests may be submitted to the pastors.

Pray in thanksgiving for God’s presence in our lives:

  • Thank you, Lord, for more daylight.
  • Thank you, Lord, that nothing is too hard for You!
  • Thank you, Lord, for prayers that others are lifting to You for me!
  • Thank you, Lord, that You walk alongside me, when I must go through change.
  • Thank God that we may share in the joys of our brothers and sisters!

Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ:

Pray for CCC:

  • Pray our worship is always focused on the one true God.  Do not forget the covenant I have made with you, and do not worship other gods. Rather, worship the Lord your God; it is he who will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies.”2 Kings 17:38-39 NIV

To Think About: In Proverbs, God’s guide to living, we are reminded that each age has its strengths which are to be respected.  Our church needs both the energy of the young and the wisdom of the old to prosper. The glory of young men is their strength,gray hair the splendor of the old. Prov 20:29 NIV
