Forty Days
of Prayer
Week of 1/29-1/04
Each new day brings new
opportunities for service to you, O Lord. Your word commands us to make
disciples and to teach them your ways.
And what does the Lord
require of us but to do justice, to love kindness and to walk humbly with you, O
God?
Our minds, our thoughts
are on you and on discerning your will. We want to follow that will so that we
can be the church that brings JOY to this community.
Praise the Lord! We
give thanks to the Lord with our whole heart; the Lord is gracious and merciful.Father
we trust that the changes that are taking place in our church and our lives are
reflections of whom and what You want us to be. Open our hearts that we may not
falter, but be gracious and brave in this time.
The fear of the Lord
is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good
understanding. His praise endures forever.
Amen |
