A Prayer for Our Church Family

In Hope and Faith....we pray this day

Praying today for mothers, fathers strong,
For godly parents raising children throng
May families within our walls
Be shielded from the daily trials and thralls.
We lift up our pastor in prayer,
Asking God to guard his heart with care
To walk closely in the Spirit’s gentle light,
Be encouraged, steadfast in the fight.
For his wife, faithful, dear,
Grant her strength to support her chanticleer 
Young hearts, young hands,
Guide them, Lord, across life’s shifting sands.
Let them put their trust in Jesus’ grace,
Their bodies the Holy Spirit’s dwelling place.
Guard them from the darkness round,
That Jesus the Light may abound.
May fathers lead with wisdom there,
And families seek You in humble prayer.
In a confused world that’s lost,
Remind us Who created us,
Let culture’s drift not cloud our view
Your design, Lord, ever true.
We pray Your will for every home,
And for our leaders as they've sown.
Grant courage, wisdom, hearts contrite,
Salvation’s gift and vision bright.
May they walk close and honor You,
Ambassadors in all they do.
We pray for those who's hearts are torn
And too for those whom this day mourn
Be a comfort Oh Mighty Lord
And so we echo an ancient plea:
“If My people will live humbly…”
Heal our land, O King of saints, we cry
In Your Word our hope, from Your hand we’ll fly

In Jesus' name
Amen.
