From God’s Matchless Word…
“
1
O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you;my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you,in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
2
I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.
3
Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
4
I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.
5
My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods;with singing lips my mouth will praise you.”
Psalm 63:1-5

For The Church, Our Nation and the World
“…pray without ceasing” 1 Thessalonians 5:17
P
ray for the safety of children, both here and far. May they be protected from the dangers of this world and may we continue to pray that they grow in the knowledge of the Lord. Remember childrenendangered by slavery around the world.
P
ray for the ministries of First Lutheran. May they each be used mightily by the Lord to minister topeople in our area and beyond, and to give Him all the glory. Good news! Our church and schoolwebsite is reaching countries far away! Pray for our missional outreach program.
P
lease pray for all Stephen Ministry congregations in our area; to find new lay caregiversand lay leaders; for those who are in the care of a Stephen Minister; for the StephenMinisters who care for them; for all who are enduring pain or loss, but are afraid to askfor help; and for our pastors who have so little time to meet their many obligations.
P
ray for wisdom for our government leaders & officials regarding the many issues to be decided that willgreatly affect our country. Pray for the wisdom of the Lord as we all consider the new Health Billproposals & financial solutions and for God’s wisdom for those deciding on troop provision for thevarious war locations. Pray for the President & his cabinet to heed the leading of the Lord.
A
lways remember our men & women currently serving in the military, who each need our ferventand sincere prayers for protection and health. They are constantly endangered & stressed.
A
lways remember to pray for the persecuted church worldwide. They suffer greatly & constantly.
