Prayers – May 17, 2026
“Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4
Thank you, LORD….
● for our Kitchen crews for their hard work and dedication in keeping us fed.
● for the smiles of little ones who fill our hearts with joy.
● that no matter what we’re bringing to You in prayer – praise, doubts, anger or questions, You still love us, maybe even more.
● for believers who have welcomed us wherever we felt as an outsider – to this nation, our neighborhood, a new job or a place we’re visiting… I was a stranger and you welcomed me. Matthew 25:35
● for each day filled with opportunities to share joy and love.
Have your way in us, LORD, guiding us to be more like Jesus…. following Old and New Testament scriptures to serve the Lord with gladness (Psalm 100:2) and enthusiastically. Romans 12:11
Forgive us, Lord, for anything we have said or done that does not draw people to want to know you.
We pray for brothers and sisters and ourselves as we walk together as a family of God….
● that during times of uncertainty we can still see Jesus’ light making a path to follow
● for Chinese congregation members to find the best ways to worship and share God
● that adult Sunday School will provide a deeper understanding of God’s truths
● that we may be bold in our invitation to seekers to come and know Jesus
● that each day our witness of words or actions will bring glory to God
