Enjoyed a nice 3 mile run today on my day off and felt motivated to pray during most of the 30 minutes. Here are some prayers that came to mind as I ran:
- For Riley, an 8 yr. old nephew of one of our church members who has been diagnosed with an incurable disease.
- For folks in the hospital and those who are homebound or who are in nursing homes.
- For the congregation of Lancaster First UMC that we would continue to faithfully make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
- For our October 18, 25, & November 1 new member orientation classes.
- For our November 8, 3:30 P.M. Church Conference which our church is hosting.
- For tonight's baby shower of a couple from my previous church who have connections with my present church.
- For President Obama and for peacemaking efforts in the Middle East to continue.
- For my brother who will be preaching at his church in PA this Sunday on his birthday.
- For my wife, daughter, son, mother, sisters, brother, and their families
- Gratitude for sending Jesus Christ to be the Lord and Savior of the world and for the privilege of serving Him.
It's amazing how many prayers you can say in less than 30 minutes!
