There is a communion with God that asks for nothing, yet asks for everything...He who seeks the Father more than anything He can give, is likely to have what he asks, for he is not likely to ask amiss. George McDonald

Lamb of God,
You came first as a servant to be the ransom for our sins. Your love for us transcended all boundaries. You are coming again but not as a servant. You will come back as King of kings and LORD of lords and of Your kingdom there will be end. We will be with You in Your kingdom.
LORD of Hosts, we praise You for Your lovingkindness to Drew, Lorna and Tim. We praise you for Logan’s recovery and for both Joyce and Michelle’s continued recovery.
Abba Father, place Your hand of healing on Nola, Char, Dillon, Jim and Doris. Speed their complete recovery.
Gentle Comforter, we lift up Donna and Mary before You as they grieve the loss of their husbands. Grant them peace.
Spirit of Life, move in the lives of all those who continue to be on our prayer chain. We pray for our missionaries, pastors and leaders. Be glorified in every life and situation.
Help us to remember that we are your witnesses every moment of every day - not just on Sonday mornings. Show us how to be people after Your own heart.
You are the Lion of the tribe of Judah. You have triumphed over all. You hold the keys of hell and death because You have defeated them. You are the Bright and Morning Star - the Hope of mankind as we search the darkness of this world. You are the promise of a new dawn and a brighter day. We love You.
