10 Things to Pray for: 1. That our Church would be focused on knowing God as we incrementally resume various ministries and meetings. 2. That the Bible would truly be paramount in making us more like Jesus Christ. 3. That our hearts and heads would know the Gospel of Christ and that we would have boldness to share it with others. 4. That we would seek to look more like Jesus every day as we grow in discipleship. 5. That we would still hunger to worship God with all our hearts, minds, and bodies in the midst of social distancing. 6. That we would desire to make God known in our community and to the ends of the earth. 7. That our homes would be a place of comfort as anxiety and fear attempts to discourage families. 8. That daily we would engage in prayer, both speaking our hearts to God and hearing from Him through His Word. 9. That our members would be able to find contentment in light of any relationship withdrawals. 10. That we would have the heart of a servant, knowing that we exist to make much of God and not of ourselves.
