Prayers

 

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

  • Thank you, Lord, that You consider me part of Your plan and walk with me every step.
  • Thank you, Lord, for swapping my diseased heart of sin with the perfect heart of Jesus.
  • Thank you, Lord, that You are able to do more than we ask or even think to ask. Ephesians 3:20-21
  • Thank you, Lord, that we always have hope, because You are always at work.
  • Thank you, Lord, for being the author of my story. Help me not to take liberties with editing.

 

Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ:

  • For those who are shut-in their homes or nursing facilities
  • For those struggling through illness
  • For folks finding it hard to trust God when the world seems so out of control
  • To trust in God’s promises
  • For perseverance and strength for those treating Covid patients and those working on vaccines and treatment.
  • For the Shen and Ho families who have lost loved ones
  • For those dealing with natural disasters around the nation and world – floods, earthquakes, fires
  • To find courage when all strength seems drained away
  • For the Holy Spirit to fill us with love, gentleness, and kindness toward others
  • To find joy as they learn more of who God and Jesus are

 

Pray for CCC:

  • To worship with one another in unity. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. Colossians 3:16
  • That we will be a church where one can worship, serve and fellowship in unity
  • That we don’t let ourselves get in the way of God doing His job
  • For the continued smooth and safe transition to in-person worship
  • For more coworkers to volunteer in areas where they have gifts
  • For Sunday School lessons to take root in our children
  • For those with gifts of leadership be led to serve in this capacity
  • That the work of the Trustees will result in a safe and welcoming place for worship and learning

 

To Think About: What’s needed most if we are to be disciples of Christ? Life-Style Worship.  We must worship God with the right attitude and emotion, meeting Him as He is. A person is born physically of human parents, but is born spiritually of the Spirit. John 3:6 GNT. The Holy Spirit links our spirit with God’s.  Our spirit is only engaged in worship when we are dealing with our sin, pursuing God and yielding to Him. To become mature disciples, we must be following Christ, not the other way around.

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。我們必須以正確的態度和情感來敬拜上帝,認識祂是神來與他相會。從肉身生的就是肉身,從靈生的就是靈( 約翰福音 3:6)。聖靈將我們的靈與上帝的靈聯繫起來。當我們對付自己的罪,追尋神並順服祂時,我們的靈才會在敬拜中合而爲一。 要成為生命成熟的門徒,我們必須跟隨基督,除此以外沒有其他的方法。
