Prayers

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

  • Thank you, Lord, that You promise to restore me to health and heal my wounds. Jeremiah 30:17
  • Thank you, Lord, for your Spirit to guide me.
  • Thank you, Lord, for the diligence of scientists working on the COVID vaccine.
  • Thank you, Lord, for the last remnants of fall color reminding me how majestically You have created seasons.
  • Thank you, Lord, that I have what I need and more for the asking.

Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ:

  • Those with ongoing health concerns. Pray for courage during recovery.
  • Those in nursing or homebound care. Pray for the Lord’s Presence to bring them rewarding days.
  • Health workers, caregivers, and emergency personnel tending diligently and selflessly to the needs of COVID patients
  • Those who have not yet put their trust in God. As we pray for them, help us to believe that all things are possible with God.
  • That God will bring peace to those stressing over the unknowns of the future
  • For perseverance to do what we should to fight the coronavirus even when it’s not pleasant. Pray for others whose health and livelihoods are affected.
  • For our missionaries who face struggles at every turn
  • For those for whom rebuilding their lives seems an unsurmountable mountain

Pray for CCC:

  • Pray that we may join with every life being to worship our Creator. Let every created thing give praise to the Lord. for he issued his command, and they came into being. He set them in place forever and ever. His decree will never be revoked. Psalm 148:5-6 NLT
  • That we may draw on the best that different generations in our church family have to offer
  • That we may see the pandemic not as a restriction but as an opportunity to do something different
  • That God will not only work around us but work within us
  • That we stay alert and clearheaded, not about to enter sleep mode in our faith. 1 Thessalonians 5
  • That we do not allow complacency to miss out on opportunities to do good and receive God’s blessings. 1 Timothy 6:17
  • For our efforts to support the Shoebox Ministry for children around the world and those in need in our community

To Think About: In Proverbs, God’s guide to living, we are reminded that God does not favor arrogant behavior, but provides blessings to those who are humble.  Pride ends in humiliation, while humility brings honor.  Proverbs 29:23 NLT

禱告事項

感謝主每日同行：

  • 感謝主應許要醫治我的傷口、恢復我的健康。（耶和華說：「我必使你痊癒，醫好你的傷痕，都因人稱你為被趕散的，說『這是錫安，無人來探問的』。」耶利米書30：17）
  • 感謝主用聖靈引領我。
  • 感謝主使用科學家的智能研製抗新冠病毒疫苗。
  • 感謝主以秋季殘留的色彩提醒我神創造四季是多麽大而可畏。
  • 感謝主我沒有缺乏而且超出我的要求。

 

為主內弟兄姊妹禱告：

 

  • 為身體軟弱和接受治療的肢體禱告，願大家的禱告鼓舞他們的康復過程。
  • 為老人院或居家需要特別看護的長輩們禱告，願主與他們同在，帶給他們喜樂的日子。
  • 為新冠病毒患者禱告，感謝醫護人員無私和辛勤的看護，感謝他們的耐心和愛心。
  • 讓我們為尚未信主的人禱告，願我們的禱告幫助自己相信：在神沒有難成的事。
  • 願為明天的未知而擔憂的人能信靠上帝而得平安。
  • 當與新冠病毒抗爭的現狀不樂觀時，願我們仍能堅持不懈。為那些健康和生存受影響的人禱告。
  • 為我們的宣教士所面臨的每一個難處禱告。
  • 為重建生活中看似不能勝過的困難禱告。

 

為教會的需要禱告：

 

  • 願我們一齊來敬拜和贊美造物的主。天上的天和天上的水，你們都要讚美他！ 願這些都讚美耶和華的名，因他一吩咐便都造成。詩篇148：5-6
  • 願我們教會不論長幼竭力合一在神的面前同心奉獻。
  • 讓我們不要把流行病看爲一種阻隔，而是當作一個可以嘗試新方法的機會。
  • 求神不但在我們左右工作，而且在我內裡工作。
  • 讓我們警醒謹守，在基督信仰中彼此鼓勵，不打瞌睡。（帖撒羅尼加前書第5章）
  • 禱告我們不要驕傲自滿以致喪失了行善和蒙福的機會。（你要囑咐那些今世富足的人，不要自高，也不要倚靠無定的錢財，只要倚靠那厚賜百物給我們享受的神。提摩太前書6：17）
  • 讓我們努力支持“聖誕禮物鞋盒事工“，為全球福音未得之地的孩子，包括我們社區有需要的孩子，送去認識耶穌基督的機會。

 

思考：上帝在箴言中賜智慧指導我們的生活，提醒我們：神賜福謙卑的人，不喜悅驕傲的人。箴言29章第23節說：“人的高傲必使他卑下，心裡謙遜的必得尊榮。”
