“Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4
- Thank you, Lord, that You hear every prayer—silent, spoken, or scribbled on a prayer card—and that You answer every one of them according to Your perfect will.
- Thank you, Lord, for being the source of all that is good for us. Psalm 87:7
- Thank you, Lord, for the strength You give to us who are weary. Isaiah 40
- Continue to comfort the people in Turkey and Syria with mercy and grace.
- In this period of Lent, may we daily contemplate the price Jesus paid for our sins and our inability to meet God’s standard of righteousness and be grateful.
- Help us to tune out the world when it says to believe in self rather than to believe in God.
- May our sacrifice this Lent be the one most pleasing to God – “a broken spirit…a broken and humbled heart.” Psalm 51:16-17
- The Bible says, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die. . . “ Ecclesiastes 3. For those of us going through a difficult season, help us to embrace the season knowing that God has a good purpose for it.
- May each day bring us an opportunity to share Jesus in word or deed.
- Guide our church to action to build up the body of Christ both within and outside its walls. May we put our efforts where it will bear more fruit.
- We pray for loved ones in our families living through difficult times – health concerns, loss of loved ones, financial worries, job struggles, relationship problems, loneliness, and other stressors – as we place all things in the hands of our all-knowing and powerful Father, may peace and calm help them overcome.
For more prayer items for our world, our country, our community, our church, our family, and ourselves, please see our monthly prayer calendar on the website.
