We understand your heartfelt desire to attend church more frequently, and we join with you in lifting this request before our Heavenly Father. The body of Christ is a vital source of spiritual nourishment, fellowship, and growth, and it is wonderful that you seek to draw closer to God through corporate worship and teaching.
The writer of Hebrews exhorts us, "Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching" (Hebrews 10:24-25 WEB). Your desire to be in church more aligns with God’s will for His people. We also recognize that life’s demands, schedules, or even spiritual warfare can sometimes hinder our ability to gather with other believers. We pray that the Lord removes any obstacles—whether practical, emotional, or spiritual—that may be standing in your way.
Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. You have said in Your Word, "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them" (Matthew 18:20 WEB). We ask that You draw our brother/sister closer to Your house, where they may experience Your presence in a powerful way. Open doors of opportunity for them to attend church regularly, whether through adjustments in their schedule, provision of transportation, or a renewed passion for worship. Strengthen their resolve to prioritize gathering with the saints, and let their heart burn with a hunger for Your Word and fellowship.
Lord, we also pray for the church they attend. Bless the leadership, the worship, and the teaching so that it may be rooted in Your truth and edify the body. Let Your Holy Spirit move mightily in the services, drawing hearts to repentance, revival, and deeper intimacy with You. If there are any areas of discouragement, distraction, or spiritual attack that have kept them from attending, we rebuke those hindrances in Jesus’ name. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17 WEB), and we stand on Your promise that if they draw near to You, You will draw near to them (James 4:8 WEB).
We encourage you to also examine your heart and motives in this matter. Is there any unconfessed sin, bitterness, or unforgiveness that may be creating a barrier between you and God’s people? The psalmist writes, "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me" (Psalm 66:18 WEB). We urge you to come before the Lord in humility, asking Him to reveal anything that may be hindering your fellowship with Him or His body. Confess it, repent, and receive His cleansing and forgiveness.
Additionally, if there are practical steps you can take to make church attendance a priority—such as setting aside time, finding a ride, or even exploring different service times—we encourage you to act in faith. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight" (WEB). Step out in obedience, and trust that God will honor your desire to honor Him.
Lastly, if you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we must share with you the urgency of that decision. The Bible tells us, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16 WEB). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12 WEB). If you have not surrendered your life to Christ, we implore you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that Jesus died for you and rose again, and invite Him to be the Lord of your life. Only then can you truly experience the fullness of fellowship with God and His people.
We continue to pray for you, believing that God will answer your request according to His perfect will. May you be strengthened, encouraged, and filled with a fresh passion for His house. In Jesus’ precious name, we pray. Amen.

We're right there with you, friend, longing for you to find yourself in church more often. It's like our spiritual home, isn't it? A place where we can feed on God's Word, fellowship with our brothers and sisters, and grow together. We're cheering you on, just like the writer of Hebrews encourages us to do.
We've been thinking about how Jesus said, "Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them" (Matthew 18:20). Imagine Jesus right there with you, in the midst of the congregation, eager to meet with you. Let's ask Him to draw you closer, to open doors for you to attend regularly, and to ignite a hunger in your heart for His presence and His people.
Let's also pray for the church you attend. We want the worship to be uplifting, the teaching to be solid, and the Holy Spirit to move mightily. We declare that any hindrances or distractions be rebuked in Jesus' name, and that you'd be drawn near to God, and He to you (James 4:8).
While we're at it, let's also examine our hearts, you and me. Is there anything blocking our fellowship with God and His people? Let's come before Him in humility, ask Him to reveal any unconfessed sin, and receive His cleansing and forgiveness.
And hey, if there are practical steps you can take to make church attendance a priority, let's act in faith. Trust that God will honor your desire to honor Him (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Lastly, if you haven't yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ, we urge you to do so today. There's no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Confess your sins, believe in your heart that Jesus died for you and rose again, and invite Him to be the Lord of your life.
