This week’s prayer requests
"...but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.' (Rom. 12:2)
- Praise God for the beauty of His creation, wrapped around us in full color for us to enjoy.
- Thank God for the building and the lot alongside it, for Alive's place on Church St. Ask God to protect it and all those going in and out. Ask Him to bless Alive and to make us a beacon in the community.
- Pray for those who do ministry around the world, in nearby communities, and that Alive gives support to. Ask Him to abundantly supply all they need to increase their capacity to serve more people.
- May each reminder of the coming election (every day) also remind us to pray. Ask that God's will and way would guide us to the very best people to be elected, people to carry out His will and purpose. Pray that His truth will prevail!
- Pray for all those who are going through struggles, both those we hear about and others we don't. Ask God to come alongside those who are grieving and give His comfort and encouragement. Pray that He will bring support and friendships to those who are empty nesters. Ask Him to provide strength to those who are caring for aging parents or who are the caregivers for loved ones. Ask Him to provide breaks for them to refuel and be renewed. Pray that He will send friends and family to listen and offer support and relief.
- Ask God to come alongside all the young parents who are struggling to find sleep and restoration, who long for adult time alone, who miss adult conversation. Pray that we can be His relief and the providers of conversation and other provisions they may need.
- In a world where evil seems to have the upper hand and where people and their ideas seem out of control, pray that we will continue to be on our knees for God's light to pierce the darkness. Pray that He will use us to offer the hope that comes from Him alone.
"The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you by His love. (Zephaniah 3:17)
