Lord, thank you for New City Church! I am grateful for the love and community that I have found here. Today I ask that you continue to bless our Church relationally, financially, and missionaly. Help us stay focused on the call that you have put on this house. Let us be known as the Church that is passionate about making disciples! We long to carry out the mandate that you set for us in making disciples but we need your help in order to achieve that. Help us stay faithful to this call so that your name will be glorified!
Day Six
January 8, 2024
Day One (Prayer Gathering)
January 3, 2024
Lord, thank you for loving me before I ever loved you. I come before you today and ask that you would help me love you better. Holy Spirit, fill me with the desire to please you. Like David, I want to be known as a person after your own heart. Amen
Day Two
January 4, 2024
Jesus, you said the world would know we are your disciples by the love we have for one another. Increase my love for my neighbor. Give me patience for my loved ones. Allow me to extend grace to those that don't deserve it, just like you have done for me. Grant me a heart for loving others so that everyone may see I am your disciple and your name would be made great on the earth. If loving others well will point them to you, then I want to love people for the rest of my life!
Day Three
January 5, 2024
Lord, you have commanded us to pray at all times, without ceasing, and I confess I struggle with this. I confess that I sometimes don’t want to pray. I ask today that you increase my desire to pray. Draw me closer to your heart and will so that I can partner with you in prayer to bring about your will here on the earth. Lead me in developing a lifestyle of prayer. Show me the times and the ways to pray and to be disciplined in my desire to pray. When I don’t know the words, just let me know your heart.
