Prayer — TRBC

For Your Prayers this week

For Your Prayers - Praying Through the Scriptures:

During our week of prayer, we prayed through different portions of Scripture because they help us to clearly express God’s heart back to Him. Through your daily readings, please continue to do that asking the Holy Spirit to guide your prayers. In “5 Things to pray for your church”, Rachel Jones, lists Scripture based prayers, which we’ll use to pray. She starts with James 5: 16 “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” As believers we’ve received and are seen through Christ’s righteousness, but we sin daily. So, daily first get right with God by confessing and asking for forgiveness for how you’ve sinned in your thoughts, words and deeds; also confess your sins of not doing what you should have done. Read 1 John 1: 9 to assure yourself of God’s faithfulness to forgive us.

Remembering What We Are 1 Peter 2: 9-10

Monday: “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.”

• Thank God that He has chosen to show His wonderful grace to you and our church family at TRBC.

• Thank God that those who are in Christ are new creations - a whole new ‘race’ (or nation) of people.

• Pray that we will increasingly act like the holy people God has declared us to be.

Tuesday: As God’s royal priesthood:

• Pray that we’ll be faithful in praying for people within TRBC and within our local community.

• Pray that we’d be faithful in speaking and applying God’s word into the lives of those around us.

Wednesday: As God’s special possession:

• Thank God that we can be assured of His love, whatever life throws at us.

• Pray that this would give us at TRBC a great sense of security and confidence.

• Pray that we will not fear what others might think of us or do to us.

Thursday: Called by God “out of darkness into his wonderful light”

• Thank God for how He called you into His Kingdom and how He called some specific people you know.

• Pray that you and our fellowship at TRBC will increasingly “declare the praises” of God by living distinctively and speaking the good news boldly.

Friday: Received God's mercy:

• Pray that as a fellowship we will grow in our appreciation of the depth of God's mercy and that this will crush any lingering feelings of self-righteousness.

• Pray that you'd show mercy to others - forgiving the small things, the big things, and the things that seem to happen again and again.

Saturday: Please pray for the Lord to continue to heal Clover Brown, Rayness Brown, and Anne Parker. Please pray that Anne would know God’s strength and peace as she has tests and that a clear diagnosis is made. Please pray that the Lord will comfort Cynthia and Joy after their respective bereavement

Sunday: Please pray that through our service today God will be glorified, and we’ll all become more Christ-like for God’s glory and honour.
