Pray for your church to be blessed and increase their fellowship with one another using Paul’s prayers from 1 Thessalonians.
Please pray aloud:
I thank you, God, for each and every person in my church! Thank you, Father, for their work produced by faith, their labor prompted by love, and their endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Thessalonians 1:2-3)
O God, I ask you and our Lord Jesus to clear the way for my church to continue in fellowship with one another. Even more, I ask you to make their mutual love increase and overflow for each other, and for everyone else, just as my love overflows for them. Strengthen our hearts, Father, so that we will be blameless and holy in your presence when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones. (1 Thessalonians 3:11-13)
Finally, God, may you yourself, the God of peace, sanctify my church through and through. May our entire spirits, souls, and bodies be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. You are faithful, Lord, I know you will do it! (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24)
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
