And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ. Philippians 1:9-10 (NIV)
The most holy practice, the nearest to daily life, and the most essential for the spiritual life, is the practice of the presence of God, that is to find joy in his divine company and to make it a habit of life, speaking humbly and conversing lovingly with him at all times, every moment, without rule or restriction, above all at times of temptation, distress, dryness, and revulsion, and even of faithlessness and sin. Brother Lawrence
God, the immortal, loving, and holy One, we pray …
- That the harvest will be plentiful - that those who are spiritually lost will come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
- That your involvement in the Life’s a Journey campaign will inspire a stronger commitment by each person to move from a self-focused life to a God-focused life.
- For lasting, eternal fruit in transformed lives.
- That the Holy Spirit will confirm in each life that he is present and has the power to change lives.
- That a deeper desire to worship and magnify you will arise in our church and in the churches of our nation and around the world.
- That each person's life will be enriched through a new or renewed small group experience.
- That the Holy Spirit will encourage many to become committed to our church family and be baptized.
- That every person involved will be refreshed, renewed, and revitalized for the ministry to which you have called him or her.
- That our members will discover and use their spiritual gifts and abilities for your eternal purposes.
