Thank you for your prayers. Lets pray for one another, especially as we see the day of the Lord approaching! Your family and friends need your prayers. Your church needs your prayers. Rev. Johnson and those in Ghana need your prayers. I need your prayers.
Thank God for his abiding love and steadfast faithfulness in all times and in all circumstances. We can only live a satisfying life in Jesus by daily deciding to be owned by him and to obey his every loving command. Pray that we give more of ourselves to Jesus each day. Jesus has already given his all, pray we accept and live in truth.
Thank God for his daily provision in our lives. Lets express our gratitude, for he cares about all our needs and meets them in ways that words can not express! Thank You, our Lord and Savior Jesus.
Thank God for his mercy for we all fall short. Pray also for those that hinder us, so that they may somehow see the Light and so that we do not stumble in the same way.
Thank God for faithful and submissive leaders. It takes a strong and loving leader, sincerely wanting to please God, to shepherd a flock, especially in the USA. Why? We, the flock: we demand our rights, we want things our way, we deserve, we are owed, we are equal, we we we…. Pray that we learn to make it a joy for our pastors to lead us by putting away our own selfish ambitions and live as Jesus does; daily carrying our own cross, dying to self by loving God and pastors, who GOD has put in authority over us!
Only in Jesus, to him be the glory, honor and power forever and ever.
