Monthly Prayer Focus

Living in Personal Obedience - Pray that we would love the Lord our God with all of who we are and love not just in words but in how we live as the people of God. Pray that we exercise the will to obey what we already know to be true and good - the commands of the Father - and live in the way of Christ. Pray we would daily choose complete trust in and surrender to Jesus Christ. Pray that we would seek Jesus with new eyes and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal to each of us areas in which we need to repent. Pray that Jesus would be manifest through us to one another, our local community, especially those we know who don’t yet follow Christ. Pray that we would, in and through our obedience, know the fullness and depth of life in Christ empowered by the Holy Spirit.
