Prayers
Pray in thanksgiving for God’s presence in our lives:
- Thank you, Lord, for each day that I can try something new.
- Thank you, Lord, for strangers who give warm smiles.
- Thank you, Lord, that every time I look at the sky I see a different canvas of color.
- Thank you, Lord, for helping me find peace in the midst of trials.
- Thank you, Lord, for the way You respond to my prayers better than I can imagine.
Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ:
- For continued healing in body and spirit for those who are not feeling 100%
- That they look for reliable answers about their future in the Bible and not on google
- To find purpose in their lives by serving God in whatever way they can
- That we allow the Holy Spirit to allow His fruits to be evident in us to others
- That God will safeguard us from the suffering of the coronavirus and we will be vigilant to do all we can to safeguard ourselves and fellow man
- That we allow God freedom to do His makeovers in us
- That we will consider the well being of others over selfishness as we take our cue from Jesus
Pray for CCC:
- I have seen you in your sanctuary and gazed upon your power and glory. Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise you! I will praise you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer. You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise you with songs of joy. Psalm 63:2-5
- To help seeds that come into our path to be planted in good soil
- To be zealous for winning souls
- To strive to work for the common good
- For planning in-person gatherings which are safe and God-honoring
- Thank God for the Word brought to us by Pastor Tarn
- To be bold and courageous in outreach
To Think About: What’s needed most if we are to be disciples of Christ? One thing is that we desire in our hearts what is instructed in the Scriptures. The Word of God is food for our spirit, and you can never overeat, nor should you stop eating and lose weight. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2 A transformed mind comes from studying and practicing what the Bible teaches.

思考：我們要成為基督的門徒，最需要什麼？答案就是：我們內心要渴望聖經所教導的。神的話是我們生命的糧，你不能吃得過飽，也不應該停止進食和少吃。 不要效法這個世界．只要心意更新而變化、叫你們察驗何為 神的善良、純全可喜悅的旨意 （羅馬書 12:2）。心意的更新變換來自查考和實踐聖經的教導。
