COMMUNITY PRAYER September 12, 2021
Together we pray . . .
Father God, we know that You are a God of love and truth. You are the one who knows all that is happening, and why.
So what do we do when we encounter so regularly situations where we see things happening that we think are a problem? First, help us to listen long and well, to seek Your understanding about any situation or person. Sometimes we might find that it is our own ideas and attitudes that need some adjustments!
Be with us as we seek to be the instruments of Your grace in this darkened and hurting world, based on what we find in Your Word about how to treat others. Help us to be bold in speaking Your truth when it is needed. AMEN
