“Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”  Psalm 37:4

  • Thank you, Lord, for the gift of today that comes with your grace to handle anything that comes with it. Help us to be thankful for what is and not dwell on what isn’t.
  • Thank you, Lord, that when we live in God’s light, our sins are forgiven. 1 John 1:7
  • Thank you, Lord, for reminding us in this season of Advent of the hope you bring to the world: “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned. …For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:2-6
  • Renew our minds with your Word: For this is how God loved the world, He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
  • We are struggling Lord with how hostages or prisoners are suffering. We pray for your deliverance and healing in the lives of the afflicted.
  • We pray for our church to give the message of salvation as its gift to the community this Christmas.
  • We pray for our loved ones going through tough times – health, economic, and financial turmoil – that you give them strength and steadfast trust to overcome any setbacks.
  • Forgive us, Lord, when we are sitting down quietly when we should be standing up to proclaim your salvation.
  • We pray for our children to be protected from harm and illness.
  • Let us think about your promise of provision.  “Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.  And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? Luke 12:22-28

“又要以耶和華為樂，他就將你心裡所求的賜給你。” 詩篇37:4

  • 主啊，感謝祢賜有今天，以及祢的恩典來處理今天任何的事。幫助我們對所在的人和所有的物心存感激，而不是專注於不在的或沒有的。
  • 感謝主，當我們活在神的光明中，我們的罪就被赦免了。約翰一書1:7
  • 主啊，感謝祢在這個將臨期提醒我們祢給世界帶來的希望：「在黑暗中行走的百姓看見了大光，住在死蔭之地的人有光照耀他們。…因有一嬰孩為我們而生，有一子賜給我們，政權必擔在他的肩頭上。他名稱為奇妙、策士、全能的神、永在的父、和平的君。」以賽亞書9:2-6
  • 用祢的話語更新我們的意念：神愛世人，甚至將他的獨生子賜給他們，叫一切信他的不致滅亡，反得永生。約翰福音3:16
  • 主啊，我們正在為人質或囚犯所受的苦難而掙扎。我們祈求祢能拯救並治愈受苦的人。
  • 祈求我們的教會在今年聖誕節把救恩的信息作為禮物送給社區。
  • 我們為正在經歷困難時期–健康、經濟和財務動盪–的親友禱告。求主給予他們力量和堅穩的信靠以克服任何挫折。
  • 主啊，當我們應該站起來宣告祢的救恩時，寬恕我們祗是靜靜地坐着。
  • 為我們的孩子免受傷害和疾病禱告。
  • 讓我們思想神對供應的承諾。你想百合花怎麼長起來，它也不勞苦，也不紡線，然而我告訴你們：就是所羅門極榮華的時候，他所穿戴的還不如這花一朵呢！你們這小信的人哪！野地裡的草今天還在，明天就丟在爐裡，神還給它這樣的裝飾，何況你們呢？路加福音12:22-28
