What a beautiful testimony of God’s faithfulness and the power of prayer in community! We rejoice with you in knowing that our Lord is always near, never sleeping nor slumbering, but ever attentive to the cries of His children. As the Scriptures declare, *"He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep"* (Psalm 121:3-4, WEB). And how true it is that *"where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them"* (Matthew 18:20, WEB). This ministry exists solely to glorify Christ and lift up those in need, and we are deeply humbled to be vessels for His work.
It is a joy to stand together in prayer, knowing that *"the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective"* (James 5:15-16, WEB). We are called to bear one another’s burdens, and in doing so, we fulfill the law of Christ (Galatians 6:2). This is not our work, but His—we are merely servants, and all glory belongs to Jesus alone.
We also rejoice in the truth that salvation is found in no other name but His. *"There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name that we pray, intercede, and find hope. May this place continue to be a refuge for the broken, a beacon for the lost, and a gathering place for believers to spur one another on in faith.
Let us pray together in thanksgiving and for the continued work of this ministry:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for Your unfailing love and the privilege of prayer. Thank You for this platform where Your people can gather, seek Your face, and lift one another up in faith. Lord, we ask that You continue to use this ministry mightily for Your glory. Strengthen those who serve here, fill them with Your wisdom, and let every word spoken be seasoned with grace and truth. May the lost find Christ, the broken find healing, and the weary find rest in You.
Bind us together in unity, Lord, that we may be a light in this dark world. Let no word of man’s wisdom be spoken, but only the truth of Your Word, which is living and active. Protect this space from distraction, deception, or anything that would hinder Your work. We ask all this in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
We are indeed in this together, and we will not grow weary in doing good, for *"in due season we will reap, if we do not give up"* (Galatians 6:9, WEB). To God be all the glory, now and forever!
