He is the Source!

Heavenly Father,

I thank you for your presence in our service on Sunday. I pray that the work you began in so many people would be continued until completion. Don't allow the devil to take away what took place in the hearts and lives of each person who reached out to you that morning. I pray that the doubts that might have entered their minds would be flushed out with the truth of your word. I pray that the promises, healing, forgiveness, freedom from bondage or whatever was received would stay firmly in their minds and hearts. I pray it would be something they can hold onto when day to day comes along.

Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart. For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. For, "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever." And this is the word that was preached to you. I Peter 1:22-25

Lord, don't let us forget the obedience part. Help us to seek to know your word, so that we will know how to obey the truth - so we will not miss out on the blessings and promises.

I pray for David Freeman who put a request on the prayer board. I pray for healing in his body. I also pray that as he takes the chemo treatments that he would not experience the usual side effects such as nausea. I pray that you would encourage him in this time. Give him peace to know that you are with him. Give him direction to know what you would have him to do right now, so he will feel purpose in his life.

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. Romans 5

I pray for our Sunday School class. I thank you for the bonding that has taken place. I thank you for the freedom in class to share needs, thoughts and tears. I pray that you would continue to pour out your presence in that classroom and on each person as we grow and seek you.

Ten minutes in your presence Lord is better than anything this world has to offer and accomplishes so much more!

I thank you for hearing me. I pray that you would prepare our hearts for tomorrow's services. Help us to receive whatever you want us to learn and help us to be aware of how we can help someone else around us that may be in need.

I pray all these things in Jesus Name,
Amen
