“Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4
Thank you, Lord….
● for being our Teacher. May we listen to the truths imparted by the Holy Spirit and Your Word.
● for praying for us when our own words won’t come
● for holding us in your peace even when we are surrounded by chaos
● for paying the debt we owe for our sins
● for surrounding us with saints whose impact remains even when they are no longer physically with us
Have your way in us, Lord, even as we fight to control each aspect of our lives, guide us to be more like Jesus….
● may we keep the golden rule front and center in our minds in our daily living – Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. Matthew 7:12
● help us remember that the Lord is with us wherever and whenever we go to do His work. May we be bold and courageous. Joshua 1:9
● help us to share this truth from Jesus, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. John 14:6
● let us echo the prayer of St. Padre Pio in our devotions: “I trust in your power and grace that sustain and restore me. Loving Father, touch me now with your healing hands, for I believe that your will is for me to be well in mind, body, soul and spirit. Cover me with the most precious blood of your Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ from the top of my head to the soles of my feet”
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 who serve in leadership roles in our church
● for those around the world who are persecuted because they claim Jesus as Savior
● that the national election process will be orderly and calm.
● for more positive role models for our children
● for those in need of healing
● that those suffering from devastation of any sort will experience hope in Jesus
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.
