Lord, we know you are with us. Guide and direct us in all
that we do. Help us to be a Spirit filled church.
Remind us of this prayer, O God when we’re behind the
steering wheel, when we enter the doors of this church building, when we stand
outside this church building giving out water bottles to college students, when
we tell our children to have a great first day of school, when we visit a
friend who is going through a difficult time.
O God, in everything we do, help us to always be ready to
live out our faith, not relying on our strength and abilities, but on your
indwelling Holy Spirit at work in our lives. Help us to have a varsity faith
and letter in a Spirit-filled life.
Just as your Holy Spirit empowered our mission team to make
a difference in Nicaragua this summer, may your Holy Spirit empower our church
to make a difference right here on College Street as we give out water bottles
to college students this Saturday. We pray that this simple display of kindness
will let our community know that we are a church with open hearts, open minds,
and open doors.
We pray for those who are in particular need of your
indwelling Holy Spirit this day. We think of those who feel alone, who are not
feeling well, and who are struggling to make ends meet. Send them a special
sense of your Holy Spirit that they would be comforted in knowing that you are
with them offering guidance and strength.
We are reminded of Jesus’ words when he said that when two
or three are gathered together, you are in the midst of them. Send us your Holy
Spirit, O God, even as we pray the words that Jesus taught us to say together…
Our Father, who art in heaven…
