Prayers
Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you… (Psalm 55:22)
- Thank you Lord, for putting people in our path just when we need them.
- Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. (Psalm 139:23–24). Pull the weeds of sin from our hearts.
- Lord, comfort us with your goodness.
- Pray for our children returning to school – for safety, conditions promoting a good learning environment and a desire in our students to want to know more.
- Pray for young people going off to college – for those we send from our own families and for those who come from overseas to study. May they find Christian support and witness in their temporary campus homes to help them in facing the world’s distractions.
- Pray that we may take time to relax and hear from our Father in heaven.
- Pray for our communities – that we may make the effort to know one another and practice self-control when we disagree.
- Pray for fall planning at our church as we return from summer vacation.
- Pray for those who are thinking about baptism and church membership.
- We pray for our church family – for those dealing with health and mobility issues; for those who are homebound, for those with job and financial worries; for those in broken relationships. May they be encouraged by Matthew 6:33 knowing God cares for them: “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.”

- 主啊,用你的恩慈安慰我們。
- 為我們的孩子重返學校祈禱——為安全、為促進良好學習環境的條件以及為學生想學習更多的意慾祈禱。

- 祈求我們能花時間放鬆,聆聽天父的聲音。
- 為我們的社區禱告——當我們意見不一時,我們可以努力相互了解並練習節制。
