On Sunday after church, we held a Prayer Gathering with our Covenant Partners where we came together to pray for all that’s been going on in our cities.
We had a handout to help guide us on what to pray for specifically, and we thought it would be helpful for everyone during the Month of Prayer that we’re in through the end of February. See the guide below, or click the button to download/print.
Pray for: Those Living in Fear
- Peace that passes understanding
- Protection as they move about in the community
- Wisdom as they trust others to help them
- People of peace to arise and serve those in need
- Material resources, and the ability to get what they need
- Mental healing/protection from the trauma experienced and observed
Pray for: Our Government Officials
1 Timothy 2: 1-3
First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior…
