“Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4
- Thank you, Lord, for Jesus, who has given us the gift of eternal life! Thank you, to this day, he continues to look for us, his lost sheep.
- As we begin a new year, help us to center our hopes and thoughts on You, Lord. We pray that we will be ready for whatever opportunities that come to us to share the Good News. Help us to meet them with patience, obedience and cheerful spirit.
- Renew our minds with advice from King David in the Bible: “Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. He will see to it that all the work related to the Temple of the Lord is finished correctly. 1 Chronicles 28:20
- May all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you. May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, “The Lord is great!” Psalm 40:16
- We pray for our loved ones going through tough times – health, economic, and financial turmoil – we pray they may be patient with Your plan.
- We are struggling Lord with how easily we fall into unbelief that You care for us. Help us to recognize the signs of Your presence all around us.
- We pray for the upcoming retreat for our teens, that the time of teaching and fellowship will strengthen their relationship with God.
- We pray for wisdom, courage, and discernment for our new Official Board and pastors as they plan for 2024.
- Let us think about your promise to fight for us as he did for the enslaved Hebrews: Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” Exodus 14:13-14

- 用聖經中大衛王的忠告來更新我們的意念:你當剛強壯膽去行,不要懼怕,也不要驚惶。因為耶和華神,就是我的神,與你同在,他必不撇下你,也不丟棄你,直到耶和華殿的工作都完畢了。歷代志上28:20
