Each month, our Prayer Ministry Team offers a specific prayer focus, working under the belief that communal prayer is a powerful and world-changing exercise.

November Prayer Focus
This month we are joining our hearts and voices to lift up the US Military in prayer to the One who is with them and for them. God is the protector and provider for all of us, and our troops also fall under the wings of God’s love. Because of their love for our country and for its people, our military men and women have dedicated themselves to our protection. Let us provide prayer protection for them in turn.

Please join us in praying for the following:

1. Honoring military personnel sacrifices: John 15:13 – “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
2. Protection for soldiers in active duty: Psalm 91:2-7 – “This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.  For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day.  Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you.”
3. Strength for the battle: Psalm 29:11 – “The Lord gives his people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace.”
4. Encouragement while away: John 16:33 – Jesus said, “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”
5. Enduring suffering: 2 Timothy 2:3-4, 7 – “Endure suffering along with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. Soldiers don’t get tied up in the affairs of civilian life, for then they cannot please the officer who enlisted them. Think about what I am saying. The Lord will help you understand all these things.”
6. Resist temptations and stand firm in the Lord: Ephesians 6:13 – “Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.”
7. Remaining Strong and Courageous: Joshua 1:9 – “This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
8. For Peace: Psalm 29:11 – “The Lord gives his people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace.”

Prayer is the heart cry of a Christian. It is a privilege to speak to God our Father through prayer. Let us be a people of prayer committed to seeking God daily on our knees.  If you need someone to pray with you, please contact the church office so we may reach out to you.
