Prayer List
Grant that I may pass through the coming year with a faithful heart.
There will be much to test me and make weak my strength before the year ends. In my confusion I shall often say the word that is not true and do the thing of which I am ashamed. There will be errors in the mind and great inaccuracies of judgment...
In seeking the light,
I shall again and again find myself walking in the darkness. I shall mistake my light for Your light and I shall drink from the responsibility of the choice I make.
Nevertheless, grant that I may pass through the coming year with a faithful heart. May I never give the approval of my heart to error, to falseness, to vanity, to sin. Though my days be marked with failures, stumblings, fallings,
let my spirit be free so that You may take it and redeem my moment s
in all the ways my needs reveal.
Give me the quiet assurance
of Your Love and Presence.
Grant that I may pass through
the coming year with a faithful heart.
~Howard Thurman, "Through the Coming Year"

As Justin's health is failing, we pray for God to touch his heart and soul, give Justin comfort, peace, and a revelation of God's great love.
We pray for
-
all who are struggling near and far with sadness, injury, loss, and despair;
- those fighting illness, COVID and respiratory viruses, and chronic disease;
- those who are rejoicing in new beginnings and fresh seasons of goodness;
- a new year when we sense God’s nearness, care, and guidance;
- eyes to see Christ in one another, and everyone we meet, and hearts shaped with love and working always for God's justice and peace.
