Prayers

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

  • Thank you, Lord, for blessing us with a few more days of warmth before the cold sets in.
  • Thank you, Lord, that there are no weapons against which You cannot prevail. Isaiah 54:17
  • Thank you, Lord, that You are my light and salvation. Psalm 27:1
  • Thank you, Lord, that I can hear Your Voice when I am very still.
  • Thank you, Lord, for words of encouragement from loved ones.

Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ:

  • Those with ongoing health concerns. Pray for transformation of spirit even when the body is slow to heal.
  • Those in nursing or homebound care. Pray that they may find joy in what they can do, rather than what they cannot.
  • Those suffering in the COVID-19 pandemic and those working to overcome its devastation. Pray for all of us to do what we can to stop the spread. Pray for God’s intervention – only He has the power to overcome.
  • For wisdom in selecting our nation’s leaders
  • Those who lost homes
  • Those who are uncertain about their jobs
  • For more patience and self-control when circumstances are difficult
  • For our discernment in knowing when to listen and when to talk so that others may be encouraged

Pray for CCC:

  • Pray that in our time of worship, God is front, center, and exclusive.  Jesus replied, “We must worship God, and him alone. So it is written in the Scriptures.” Luke 4:8 TLB
  • For unity in the body of Christ, focusing on how God wants us to build His Kingdom
  • That God can help those in difficult relationships to let go of prideful thinking
  • That we focus more on what we can do rather than what we think we can’t do
  • That we build up a culture of thanksgiving and peace in God’s Kingdom on earth
  • That we not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people”. Galatians 6:9-10
  • That God will open doors for us to proclaim the Good News

To Think About: In Proverbs, God’s guide to living, we are reminded that God blesses those who are generous and share what they have with the poor, but does not bless those who ignore those in need. Those who give to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to them receive many curses.  Proverbs 28:27 NIV

 

 

禱告事項

感謝主每日同行：

  • 感謝主在寒冷的季節到來前額外帶來一些溫暖的天氣！
  • 這世上沒有任何事物能與我們的神抗衡！（凡為攻擊你造成的器械，必不利用；凡在審判時興起用舌攻擊你的，你必定他為有罪。這是耶和華僕人的產業，是他們從我所得的義。」這是耶和華說的。以賽亞書54：17）
  • 耶和華是我的亮光，是我的拯救，我還怕誰呢？耶和華是我性命的保障，我還懼誰呢？詩篇27：1
  • 感謝主！讓我在安靜中能聼到他的聲音。
  • 感謝親人用話語鼓舞我。

 

為主內弟兄姊妹禱告：

  • 為身體軟弱和接受治療的肢體禱告，求主保守他們屬靈生命的日漸更新，也看護他們身體的逐漸康復。
  • 為老人院或居家需要特別看護的長輩們禱告，願神的喜樂充滿他們力所能及的每一件事情，也讓他們在盼望中充滿了平安。
  • 為新冠病毒患者和救治研發抗擊病毒的各級機構和人員禱告；為我們所有的人盡力阻止病毒的散播禱告；禱告求上帝，唯有全能的主，親自干預和拯救病毒流行中的世界。
  • 為全美新一届的總統大選禱告，願每一位選民有識別的智慧禱告。
  • 為失去家庭的人禱告。
  • 為工作不穩定的人禱告。
  • 為在困境中的耐心和自控能力禱告。
  • 讓我們有能力知道聆聽和表達的合適時機，使口中的言語可以造就他人。

 

為教會的需要禱告：

  • 讓神在我們的敬拜和贊美中居首位、站中心，他是獨一不可替代的神。耶穌說：「經上記著說：『當拜主你的神，單要侍奉他。』」路加福音4：8
  • 為教會的合一禱告，讓我們專心尋求神的心意，建立他的國度。
  • 求主幫助人際關係困難的人可以放下心中的自傲情緒。
  • 讓我們更多地專注在我們能做的事情，而不是不能做的。
  • 讓我們培養感恩的氛圍和在地如在天的平安。
  • 加拉太書6：9-10中說：“我們行善不可喪志，若不灰心，到了時候就要收成。所以，有了機會就當向眾人行善，向信徒一家的人更當這樣。”
  • 求主為我們大開傳揚福音的門。

思考：上帝在箴言中賜智慧指導我們的生活，提醒我們：神賞賜樂善好施、體卹窮乏的人，並不祝福掩面不顧的人。箴言28章第27節說：“賙濟貧窮的不致缺乏，佯為不見的必多受咒詛。”
