Prayer Requests

Open our eyes, dear Father, to your radical, life-altering love. Open our eyes to the possibilities of life without fear. Take away our self-defeating attitudes, and remind us that we are your children, perfectly and awesomely made in your image. Let us really see your work in the world, and let us believe that your work is meant for us.

We pray for Mary Johnson; let the rest of her life start today. We ask your blessing on Jacquelyn Taylor, let her see your unending love in her life. Protect Karen Lee Thrower; help her stand on your promises and overcome the evil of addiction that has robbed her of so much of her life. Guide Beatrice Felder through the wilderness and out of this trial stronger in her faith, ready to step forward and claim her birthright as a child of God, to be baptized into the community of faith and welcomed and supported by true believers. Renew your servant Robert Nichols, and all his loved ones, help them in their daily efforts to come closer to you. We ask your protection for Shelly Jones, Michael Pearson, Donna Harris, Meagan Shoemake, Jennifer Brasher, Michelle Bond, Candice Gilmore, Atheila Trudi McKeone, Candace Curtis, Tina Robinson, and Sherry Parker. Lift up Rhenea Dawkins, ease her anxiety, release her from slavery to sin and self, create in her a new heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within her.

For these and all of your children, we pray. We hear your calling to serve the “least of these” and so to serve you. Empower and inspire us all to seek an authentic means to serve. In the name of Jesus we offer our selves as our prayer.
