Suggested Bible Study and Prayers
(Passages
that we will refer to in next Sunday's worship)
2
Kings 18
Father
God, You are able to bring good news to Your people at just the right
times. You also know the right discipline to give to Your children.
We thank You for the relief that You grant by giving us leaders who
will listen to You and obey Your commandments. Even the best of
these will yet have weakness and sin. Enemies of great power and
skill may come and speak to us words of hate and faithlessness.
Teach us to trust in You, O Lord our God. Help us not to fall into
dangerous lies and traps. The world around us is full of trouble,
but You are far more powerful than any foe. We will listen to You.
Thank You for Your Son. His holiness and power are so far above even
the best rulers. He will fight for us in our day of desperate need.
Genesis
8
God
of Our Salvation, You have remembered us over many years. You know
our weakness. At just the right time, You bring an end to the flood
of trouble. You give us solid land again for our feet upon the Rock
of Christ our Redeemer. You grant to Your people a new beginning, as
You did in the days of Noah. Together with the whole family of
faith, we are made alive in the land of the living by Your sure and
powerful promise.
Acts
14
Our
Father, Your missionaries are serving in all kinds of places
throughout the world. As the apostle went not only to established
places of worship, but also spoke in public places where people had
very little knowledge of Your Word, Your servants even today serve in
a variety of settings. We pray that You would provide them with
every resource necessary for their effective proclamation of Your
great works of creation, providence, and redemption. We pray that
You would grant all these brothers clarity, energy, health, and
especially spiritual strength in the midst of much weakness. We
commend them to Your grace. Use their ministry in a powerful way,
and grant an open door in many places where the Word has never before
been heard.
