This Sunday at Church: Pray for Missionaries with health issues

Not just health issues, but missionaries tend to face mental and emotional stressors, as well as the obvious spiritual attacks. Their health also is often in need.

Lord, help those in unfamiliar towns, cities, and nations to be healthy. Stretch out Your healing hand over those who are suffering illness and injury, empowering them to remain faithful. If necessary, keep them safe until they heal or come home to family and friends. Empower your servants to reach the lost, in Your name.

Daniel

Versed: Isaiah 43:10

“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and my servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me.”

Isaiah 43:10, ESV

There is only one, true God, and He has redeemed and restored us to right relationship with Him through the Son, and He calls us to declare this truth to the world by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Versed: Isaiah 43:8-9

Bring out the people who are blind, yet have eyes, who are deaf, yet have ears! All the nations gather together, and the peoples assemble. Who among them can declare this, and show us the former things? Let them bring their witnesses to prove them right, and let them hear and say, It is true.

Isaiah 43:8-9, ESV

Our God as restored us and redeemed us. Though we have been spiritually blind and deaf, He calls to us through the gospel that we might hear Him and the truth of the cross. We then share this truth with the world.

Versed: Isaiah 43:6-7

“I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’
Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth — everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.”

Isaiah 43:6-7, NIV

God has restored us to Himself through the Son who died on the cross. Now, by His Holy Spirit and the spreading of the Gospel, He calls us to Himself for eternal life. Believe in the One who has even restored the nation of Israel after 1900 years!

This Sunday at Church: Pray for God to provide opportunities for you to disciple someone new at Church

I remember being the teenager invited to church who only went to be with friends. Then I believed in Jesus, but I still went to be with friends. Then I took my faith seriously, and I went to actively be part of Christ’s Body.

I also remember feeling like no one really mentored me. I knew there was active discipleship through the various people at church, but it did not feel like there was direct discipleship. Others my age were getting more attention, but it felt like their teaching was so basic, and I was looking for deeper things.

Looking back, I can now see how a few adults went out of their way to make time and try to help. May we also help young people and young believers know how much we try to help.

Prayer for Youth Camp

Greetings in the Lord!

Today (Sunday, May 26), our congregation is going to a local lake for baptisms! While there, our youth group is hosting a Taco Bar fundraiser to help cover camp costs.

This week, Tuesday-Friday, we are going on a camp out by a river. Our focus this week is “A Life of Worship,” looking at how teens can worship in everyday life.

Please join me in praying for a safe, empowering week of camping and seeking God (especially seeing as I wrote the curriculum!)

May the Holy Spirit move in their (our) lives in mighty ways, we have fun, and draw closer to God and each other.

Thanks in advance!
