COMMUNITY PRAYER October 18, 2020
Together we pray . . .
Gracious Father, we live in a culture where too many people consider faith in You to be irrelevant—because they don’t see it making a difference, either in their own lives, or the lives of others.
We want to have lives in which Your abundant grace are truly there for everyone else to see. We need you to bring it to our attention when our actions and words do not match up with our faith in You, and what Your Word has shown us is important.
Show us the way You want US to make a difference in the lives of others! AMEN
