Prayer

Pray today’s Scripture back to God:
Lord God, Help me to remember that You are in control, and You will defend and avenge Your children. I pray this in Jesus’ Name, Amen!

Pray to BLESS!

One good way to pray for people is to use the acronym BLESS to pray for God’s blessing on every area of their lives:

• 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)

Spend some time praying for the following people and ministries.

• Mike Daniels
• Theresa Daniels
• Travis Davidson (Andrew, Maddy)
• Pat Dumandan
• Ken & Twilla Eden (Mattea, Joseph, Joshua, Sophia, Jonathan)
• Gary Friend

Missionaries:

• Tim & Miranda Penn (Samid, Sarah), missionaries to Albania

CLF:

• That Christian Life Fellowship would be a church that is devoted to the Word of God, and that we would be doers of it and not just hearers; that we would study the Word and so always be prepared to give everyone an answer–in season and out of season–and be approved workers who do not need to be ashamed, able to accurately understand and explain it.

Community: Pray for area pastors and their families:

• Encouragement
• Faithfulness in the Lord’s work
• Finances
• Marriage/family relationships
• Work/life balance
• Deep friendships and support from other Christian leaders
