(Join me in this prayer for your church and other Christian churches in your area.)

Lord,

I pray for leaders, members, and visitors of my church and local Christian churches.

Give us the power of the Holy Spirit to be living proof of You—

An invisible God who loves Your creation.

Guide our thoughts and actions that they may align with those of Your Son

With whom You are well pleased.

Help us to shun evil and embrace righteousness, faithfulness, and justice—

All of which are hoisted by Your love.

Remind us never to judge sinners,

But to welcome them with open arms.

Keep us hungry for Your Word that we will forever be students of Jesus—

Even when we are teachers of men.

I pray our work for the kingdom would be anointed to accomplish Your purposes.

Help us to never grow weary that we may constantly serve an Almighty God

Though our foundation in the dust.

Your infinite grace gives life to dead bones.

Purify and refine us for the high calling of Christian service.

In Christ’s Name, Amen.
