PRAYER TIME

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” ~1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

OUR MONTHLY PRAYER

Dear Father, we pray for Your continued guidance in the selection of Bethany’s next shepherd. Move the heart of the one You’ve chosen for Bethany to follow Your will in his life. Give us patience and trust as we wait for Your will to be done. Fill our hearts with Your Spirit and we confidently wait for Your actions. Guide us, O Thou Great Jehovah. Please, make the rough places plain. In the Name of Your precious Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, we pray. Amen

 

Our prayer for Ukraine:

Lord God, we pray for protection for the people of Ukraine whose lives have been disrupted by this conflict and for those in Russia who are protesting this invasion. We thank You for all people with compassionate hearts who have provided food, prayers, shelters, clothes, funds, and other needed items for the refugees. We thank You, Lord, for the people around this world who have shared their resources to help these displaced people and, through their heart–felt giving, have let refugees know that You have not forgotten them. In Jesus’s Name we pray. Amen.

Our verse for October:

” May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13

Practice joy:

Start each morning with reciting, “This is the day the Lord hath made.  Let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24a

Our Monthly Joy Verse

The Bible is filled with verses that remind us to be happy, joyful, and content.  Continue to rejoice and be glad that we have been granted His gracious gift of salvation which we can share as we witness to those around us.  Christ died for us—be filled with joy!
