Prayers – September 21, 2025
“Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4
Thank you, LORD….
● for the resources You provide to carry out CCC ministry programs
● that we have nothing to fear because You are with us and give us strength and hold us in your Hand. Isaiah 41:10
● for centering us in a community of caring relationships
● for the guidance of Your Word
● for stretching us to accomplish more than we think is possible
Have your way in us, LORD, even as we fight to control each aspect of our lives, guide us to be more like Jesus….
● Giving to meet others’ basic needs out of love, not personal reward. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:3
● Demonstrating our commitment to God by serving others, even laying down our life. John 15:13
● Organizing our lives so that God has freedom to achieve His goals through us. 1 Corinthians 14:40
● Being patient and persevering during trials knowing that God is shaping our character. Romans 5:34
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….
● for those with health issues including Pastor Charles’ brother, Marcus, who is out of ICU but still not on the road to recovery.
● for those with life-changing decisions to make
● for missionaries to overcome hardships and the unexpected
● for those living through conditions of unrest
● that we may be a godly influence on any children we may encounter
