Prayer July 23, 2023

Our Father...

the Maker of heaven and earth, the one true God who condescends down by way of covenant to your people...

We praise you and glorify you! May your name be great in all the earth!

May you be glorified for your love for your people in sending Jesus Christ as the perfect lamb of God to die for our sins, to give us perfect righteousness in him; for the Holy Spirit who continues to transform us into the image of Jesus

We pray that your will be done on earth as it is in heaven

Vision and Values

When we pray according to your will, we know that we will get what we ask for ...

Your will is that your church go throughout all the earth to make disciples...

Help us to grow as disciples, as learners, under Jesus.

Help us to make disciples as part of being disciples and as our lives and words bear witness to your lordship over our lives.

As people struggle for authenticity, may our lives be truly reflective of our submission to Jesus. Help people see us live lives consistent with our profession, even when we sin, help us to be quick to repent, quick to seek to repair the wrongs we have done. Help us to be people of justice as you have declared us to be just and are transforming us into what you have declared us to be.

We pray especially for your Holy Spirit to continue working in the lives of Luis, Ana and Omar Alvarez. We pray that you draw them to yourself.

We pray for all of the church in our area that proclaim the gospel. Not just for our own denomination, but wherever the gospel can be proclaimed and by whoever, we pray for them.

We pray for particular ministries like Isaiah 55 as they work across the border serving the needs of others materially, physically and spiritually with the gospel.

We pray for Scott and Kathy as they are finishing their work of kingdom service in Durango, Mexico.

Continued Provision

We continue to pray for the health of our brothers and sisters

Help us to hear your word this morning and to be transformed by your presence in your word

Amen
