Please pray aloud:
Gracious God, I come to you once again praying for my church, asking you to make us worthy of your calling. Use your power to bring to fruition our every desire for goodness and our every deed prompted by faith. I pray this so that the name of Jesus may be glorified in us, and he in us, according to his grace.
And may our Lord Jesus Christ himself with you, heavenly Father, encourage our hearts and strengthen us in every good deed and word, just as you loved us and gave us an eternal encouragement and good hope by your grace.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
