Prayers – November 10, 2024
Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4
Thank you, Lord….
● for the promise of your presence, that You are always with us especially when our way is rough.
● for veterans who have willingly served in harm’s way for our freedom and for the military men and women who serve today especially in hostile environments
● for the comfort you provide through your church, through people and through things.
● for your mercy as You try to make us better, that You care enough to instruct us.
● for the vivid colors of autumn that brighten our day
Have your way in us, Lord, even as we fight to control each aspect of our lives, guide us to be more like Jesus….
● You have saved us from death, prevented our feet from stumbling and our eyes from tears, and still we are anxious.“What can I offer the Lord, for all he has done for me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and praise the Lord’s name for saving me. I will keep my promises to the Lord in the presence of all his people.” Psalm 116:12-14
● Guide us to “Make allowance for each other’s faults and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.” Colossians 3:13
● Help us to seek You with all our whole heart so that we learn how to act in God-honoring ways, for none of us is born with wisdom. “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13
● Help us to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit so that we may overcome our sinful nature leading us to do evil….and the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. Galatians 5:17
We pray for brothers and sisters not only at CCC but also outside our walls, asking that God’s good and perfect will be accomplished even though we might not understand the process or outcome….
● to provide our veterans with peace beyond the peace they fought to secure, peace in their own hearts, wrapped in the joy of a life touched by your strong hand.
● for courage for our missionaries to face the perils that often confront them; grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be
● for our children who face so many worldly distractions, may we act with praise and prayer lifted to God believing He will work in their lives
● for health and wellness for those who are struggling with physical, mental, or spiritual health issues
● for the children to whom our Christmas shoebox gifts will be given, may the seed of salvation and hope in Jesus Christ fall on receptive hearts
