Pray today’s Scripture back to God:
Dear Father God, I thank You for the glorified scene this passage describes, and I praise You for Your eternal grace, mercy, and love! I am so excited when I think about dwelling with You in the New Jerusalem, with all its beauty and majesty, and with no need for sun, moon, or artificial lights, because the city possesses Your glory and the light of the Lamb! I thank You that no temple will be needed, because I will be able to worship You perfectly face to face. I pray all of this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus, Amen.

Pray to BLESS!

• B – BODY (physical health)
• L – Labor (their job or school)
• E – Emotions (emotional health as well as guarding against letting emotions rule)
• S – Social (relationships with family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, church, etc)
• S – Spiritual (remaining true to God and growing in Him)

CLF:

• Ask that we would be a church that is devoted to true fellowship: Pray that we would be encouraged from being united with Christ, comforted by His love, bonded with His Spirit, tender and compassionate with one another. Pray that we would be like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Ask that we would do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider one another better than ourselves, looking not only to our own interests, but also to the interests of each other. Pray that we would all have the same attitude as that of Christ Jesus.
