Father God,
Thank You so much for Your presence in our lives. Thank You for the relentless, uncompromising love that You have for us - a love that says that You love us no matter what happens, no matter how far we stray from You. You are our Father and we are Your children.
Forgive us for not obeying Your will for our lives as well as we should. Search our hearts, show us what we do that grieves Your heart, and help us to be more like You.
Thank You for Your protection and healing of Baby Morgan. Continue to touch her life.
Father, open doors of opportunity for all those affected by this closing of the Hacienda.
LORD of All, You are our compassionate God, the One Who comforts us in our troubles. We ask Your compassion and comfort be upon Denise and this new hole that has formed in her lungs.
You are the Seeker of the lost, LORD Jesus, and Brian is pretty lost. Not from You, You know exactly where he is. But we don’t. Please lead the searchers to Brian.
Jehovah Jirah, God Who Provides, we pray for the VF21 commitment that is coming soon. We want to be part of this great adventure with You. Use us to accomplish a miracle through this campaign and to engage our world today and into the future.
Holy Spirit, don’t let us treat those who remain on our prayer list lightly just because they have been there for awhile. As we read the list, remind us that each name is a person precious to You. Remind us that each situation is important to You and should be important to us. With renewed hearts we pray for our friends and family who continue to be on our list.
Light of the World, we are so privileged to be a part of Your global outreach to the farthest ends of the earth. We pray for our missionaries around the world - both those we know and those we don’t. We ask that You pour out Your blessing of abundance on them.
Touch the pastors, their families and the fellowship of LIFEHouse and Flipside churches. Continue to expand their vision for Your work in their communities. Bless the preview service that Flipside will be having on Sonday with new people and new families.
You have placed in our fellowship extraordinary pastors to guide us and lead us. Thank You so much for them. We ask that You bless them with strength in all situations. You have placed leaders and ministries within our fellowship whose purpose is to serve You. Bless their purpose and service.
We pray for Your Church, LORD Jesus, that she continue to stand strong in You. Give us opportunities to share You with the world.

Our desire is for our lives to be a lovesong of praise to You. Let the courts of heaven echo with our praises - for You alone are worthy of our praise. We love You, LORD.
