Prayers

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

• Thank you, Lord, for being the One to whom I can always turn.
• Thank you, Lord, for being the guiding Light to my day. Remind me to use it.
• Thank you, Lord, that You see Jesus in me and not my sin.
• Thank you, Lord, for the increased hours of daylight to enjoy the beauty You have created.
• Thank you, Lord, that I can feel confident and strong because the Holy Spirit lives within me.

Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ:

• For peace and hope for those anticipating surgery or medical treatment
• For those who mourn
• For wisdom for parents to raise children who know and experience God’s truth and love
• For those feeling frustrated because they strayed from the path God planned for them
• That God would take away the grip Satan has on the world; help us to yield only to God’s authority
• For mending of broken relationships
• That we may grow in the face of adversity making positive changes to adjust when our circumstances don’t change
• That we may encourage one another to behave responsibly and live in harmony
• For safety for those going on summer trips or planning more “normal” activities

Pray for CCC:

• Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord! Praise the Lord! Psalm 150:6
• To be ready to do God’s will with renewed energy, not complacency
• For her safe reopening of the church building to visitors and worship
• For her teens to experience fellowship with God and others in the newly-formed group
• That God will fan into flame the gift of faith in us, that we might share boldly the testimony of how He works in our lives
• That God blesses us in ways that we can be a blessing to others even during this turbulent season
• That God will shower wisdom, patience, and love on our pastors to use as they encourage their congregations in ministry

To Think About: We often have questions that can rock our faith such as ‘will everything be ok’?  The world can be described as chaotic at times; something is always happening to bring on new anxiety.  Jesus reminds us to pay attention to the world around us created by Him, not the world created by people.  “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith! Luke 12:22-31  God will provide everything we need for He cares for us and works for our good in His plan.

思考：我們常常遇到足以動搖我們信念的問題，例如：“事情都會好起來嗎？”。世界有時可以用混亂來形容；總是會發生一些事情來引發新的焦慮。耶穌提醒我們：要觀望神創造的世界，不要觀望人創造的世界。“你想百合花怎麼長起來，它也不勞苦，也不紡線，然而我告訴你們：就是所羅門極榮華的時候，他所穿戴的還不如這花一朵呢！你們這小信的人哪！野地裡的草今天還在，明天就丟在爐裡，神還給它這樣的裝飾，何況你們呢！”  神會提供我們日用所需的一切，因爲他看顧我們，成就他心意中為我們的好處安排的計劃。（路加福音12:22-31）
