We ask that we all pray every day for the individual(s) and their families listed on each calendar day until November 16. Pray for God’s blessing and healing, and for a supernatural ability to put CHRIST FIRST in time, talent, treasure & relationships.
To help you remember to do this, every Sunday for the next few weeks, we will create a post of the people to pray for that specific week. Hope this helps!
(If a name is not listed here, or if you have additional prayer requests, please submit these to the prayer chain by emailing office@westheights.org)
The following two prayers are adapted from scripture; they can be used to pray for individuals or for our community as a whole. In addition, use the ten prayer ideas below in “Let Us Pray–Each for the Other.”
“God, I pray for _________________. Make him/her/them alert and present, recognizing that You are about to do something new in their life. Help them to run with endurance the race that You have set before them. May they keep their eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects their faith. God, we ask that you will generously provide for all the needs of _______________. May they have everything they need and plenty left over to share with others. Help them to show they are Christians by their love.”
“We are people of faith, hope and love. God, we lift You high in praise. We know there are no boundaries to Your greatness. We stand in awe of Your works; we want to tell of Your mighty acts. Your beauty and splendour have everyone talking. Make your marvellous doings the headline news.”
Isaiah 43:19 MSG; Hebrews 12:1b-2; 2 Corinthians 9:8 NLT; John 13:35 GWT; Psalm 145 MSG
LET US PRAY FOR EACH OTHER
