Scripture & Prayer submitted by: Rick Costa
Father, we humbly come before You, asking that you would by the power of the Holy Spirit; bind us together in love. Let us become us unified with one another, as you are with Jesus, we pray. Lord, remind us that before all else we are children of the Most High God. Our identity and purpose in this life is found only in You.
Remind us that we are citizens of Heaven and ambassadors of Christ on this earth. Give us Your heart for people that we would have compassion on all those around us that don't yet know you. Let sinners see Your love overflowing out of our hearts; that they would be convicted to want to get to know you.
We rebuke the plans and schemes of the evil one; that tries to divide Your Body and keep us from coming together to fulfill Your ultimate purpose; that is to bring all men to Christ. Help us to remember that when we are in unity we can accomplish much.
Holy Spirit, Comforter from Heaven, we ask that You would bring peace to the hearts of all those who are fearful and in anxiety. May we not be like Israel; who constantly worried about what they would eat and drink in the wilderness. Jesus You are the Bread of Heaven and You said that out of our bellies would flow rivers of living water! We trust You with our lives and our future. You're a good, good Father!
Finally, we ask that You would increase our faith; as we know that without faith it is impossible to please You. That mountain moving faith that caused the blind to see and the lame to walk. Jesus, you said that signs and wonders would follow them that believe. Oh that You would raise up children with the radical faith in You that never gives up!
We thank You and praise Your name forever for all these things in Jesus name.
Amen.
