Prayers

 

Pray in thanksgiving for God’s presence in our lives:

  • Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to worship in Your sanctuary.
  • Thank you, Lord, for working out the details of my life.
  • Thank you, Lord, for the peace I experience when I release more cares to You.
  • Thank you, Lord, that I am Your Child, protected for eternity.
  • Thank you, Lord, I am firmly rooted, built up, established in my faith and overflowing with gratitude. Colossians 2:7

 

Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ:

  • For those who are shut-in their homes or nursing facilities
  • For those adjusting to the loss of loved ones
  • To act with humility like Jesus as we think of others before ourselves.
  • To experience the perfect peace promised to those whose minds are focused on God. Isaiah 26:3
  • For those who continue dealing with the obstacles with which the world has challenged them
  • For those starting new jobs
  • For those who are suffering health issues
  • That fear of the unknown does not stop them from moving forward
  • For cultivating positive relationships with family and friends

 

Pray for CCC:

  • To choose daily worship either in a public or private setting. Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. Psalm 145:3
  • That in-person worship for all congregations will be God-honoring
  • For wisdom to continue what is profitable for making disciples and take on what is needed to reach more
  • For our Board members to work in unity with the Holy Spirit as they return from summer break
  • To develop solid education opportunities for all age groups in the church
  • To keep our guard up against the workings of Satan
  • For the addition of new security measures in the church to run smoothly
  • For support for our Ministry teams to be able to plan and execute

 

To Think About: What’s needed most if we are to be disciples of Christ? Life-Style Worship.  Our worship must be a choice to give God the glory He deserved and fulfill the purpose for which we were created.  All the rest of creation worships the Creator automatically (Psalm 148).  The Scriptures say, But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way. John 4:23 To become mature disciples, we must give God the glory He deserves all the time, wherever we are.

思考:我們要成為基督的門徒,最需要什麼?答案就是:在生活中敬拜神。我們的敬拜必須是為了給予上帝應得的榮耀並實現我們被造的目的。創造的所有其餘部分就是受造物自發地敬拜讚美創造者(詩篇 148)。經上記著說:時候將到,如今就是了,那真正拜父的,要用心靈和誠實拜他,因為父要這樣的人拜他。(約翰福音 4:23)。    要成為生命成熟的門徒,我們必須隨時隨地給予上帝應得的榮耀。
