Make every effort to do or reflect upon this week’s practice with others.
Prayer
O God, whose blessed Son came into the world that he might destroy the works of the devil and make us children of God and heirs of eternal life: Grant that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves as he is pure; that, when he comes again with power and great glory, we may be made like him in his eternal and glorious kingdom; where he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Scripture
1 Thessalonians 5:25 NIV
Brothers and sisters, pray for us.
Practice
“Pray For Us”
This week, let’s pray for each other. List out everyone in our community, on paper or in your head. (Don’t forget the kids!) Then, pray for people. You could do this all at once, or pray for a few individuals at a time, throughout the week. Of course, if other believers come to mind, pray for them too!
As you pray for someone, hold them in your mind before God. Give thanks for them. Ask God to bless and protect them, and to fill them with his love and peace. If you feel like God gives you a specific picture, word, or encouragement for a person, offer to share it with them. Send a text. Make a call. Or just tell them about it the next time you see them.
Prep for next Sunday
Please check out this video from BibleProject. It’s about the Old Testament. I think it’ll help with our study and discussion next Sunday. Plus, it’s just really great.
