COMMUNITY PRAYER June 6, 2021
Together we pray . . .
Lord Jesus, what a great treasure we have through Your presence in our lives! Help us to appreciate it more and more, as we walk with You daily. We know that when we get busy, we sometimes neglect to spend the time we need to study about Your life in God’s Word and in prayer. Instead, we spend so much time gathering things that can never satisfy what we long for most. Come Holy Spirit, give us Your direction. Be with us as we seek to understand and value more the wonderful gifts we have been given through life in Christ Jesus. There are no other treasures that can match the ones we have in You. AMEN
