Keep Praying for Our Children,

As we grow in grace together, I have encouraged parents to share their prayers for our church, community, children, and youth. Here are a few one-sentence prayers:
  • May our children continue to excel, have excellent behavior, and conduct.
  • May our church and our children excel regardless of anything that may try to block our growth.
  • May all grow spiritually.
  • Thank God for growth, great fellowship, and the love of Christ Jesus.
  • Thank you Lord for strength to continue our journey.
  • May God help our children to have great behavior...may we celebrate with them daily.
  • May we have opportunities to get to know God personally.
  • May our faith in God show us ways to help others.
  • Grant us grace, forgive one another, and love our neighbors!
  • Celebrate life with God.

Take a moment to read Col. 3: 12-17 and pray about love, forgiveness, and praise unto the Lord:

12-14So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It's your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it.

15-17Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other. None of this going off and doing your own thing. And cultivate thankfulness. Let the Word of Christ—the Message—have the run of the house. Give it plenty of room in your lives. Instruct and direct one another using good common sense. And sing, sing your hearts out to God! Let every detail in your lives—words, actions, whatever—be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way.

Be Blessed,
Rev. Jacqui King
