Prayers

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

  • Thank you, Lord, that You make all things new.
  • Thank you, Lord, for your plan to allow me to overcome the law of sin and death through Jesus.
  • Thank you, Lord, for each flowering bud I see that reminds me of hope and life.
  • Thank you, Lord, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the your love that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:39
  • Thank you, Lord, that every morning You give me another chance to receive your mercies.

Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ:

  • For those experiencing trials, that God will show compassion and love in His time. Lamentations 3
  • That those with ongoing health concerns will be strengthened as they spend time sitting with our Father
  • For shut-ins to focus on what they can do, rather than what they can’t do
  • That those who are frustrated learn to skip the blocked highways that don’t lead to God’s presence. Instead, pray that they trust Jesus as Savior, for “whoever believes in the Son has eternal life” John 3:36
  • That we are able to use our gifts to help others
  • For those suffering with COVID-19 and for those working tirelessly to care for them
  • For those picking up pieces from the storms of life will find resources to help them on their way
  • For discernment in our leaders to make the right decisions amidst the crises in the world
  • For the children in the world who are suffering

Pray for CCC:

  • That we may turn from all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice; that we be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you” Ephesians 4:31-32 Turning from conflict whenever we are able helps honor God and build his church.
  • That our missionaries may persevere in their plan to serve God in difficult places
  • For efforts to bring some normalcy back into the life of the church
  • That we strive to help more names to be written in the Book of Life
  • That we follow God’s command to bear more fruit and love one another. John 15:16-17
  • That we not neglect leading our children to a saving faith
  • For our pastors and church leaders not to grow weary, but draw on the strength of the Lord

To Think About: Easter Sunday has passed but the resurrection of Jesus provides us hope every day on which to build our faith.  They told him, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver once said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise from the dead.’ ….He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying.  Matthew 27:63; 28:6 NLT  To be able to rise from the dead proves that Jesus is God.

思考：復活節雖過去，但復活的耶穌為我們信心的建立提供了每日的盼望。   “大人，我們記得那誘惑人的還活著的時候曾說：‘三日後我要復活。’… …他不在這裡，照他所說的，已經復活了。你們來看安放主的地方！（馬太福音27:63; 28:6）  能從死裡復活證明耶穌是神。
