We pray that we would never run out of inspiration, and that we always find fulfillment and purpose in serving You with our talents and gifts.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

Dear Lord,

We pray that we can stay on the same page with each other. It seems that sometimes we make decisions that are not considerate of one another. We are so sorry for being so selfish. We want to be a team. We want to make decisions and set goals that will glorify You and make us stronger. Also, we notice when we are not on the same page, we both try to defend our selves and our choices. Instead, we want to defend Your will and what you desire of us. Please help us in this area...​

 

Dear Lord,

Thank you for creating community and for giving us an opportunity to be a part of a body that is bigger than us. We know that You love Your church and every part in it.

Take away any fears or reservations we may have, and replace any doubts or insecurities with confidence in Your plan for our lives. Lord, we desire to be involved in a culture that You created, a...

Lord, give them wisdom and use them to bring peace to our nation. Lord, we...

Dear Lord,

Give us hearts of obedience, hearts that seek after You with everything we have. Lord, You desire obedience more than sacrifice. You desire that our hearts would be yielded to Yours. Lord, here are our hearts. Use us to bring You glory. We pray that we would each benefit from our obedience to You.

In Jesus’ name, amen!
