Suggested Bible Study and Prayers
(Passages that we will refer to in next Sunday's worship)


Daniel 8
God of Glory, You have given us hope in the midst of challenging days that so many face in this current evil age. We are often quite perplexed. We do not know how to interpret the events all around us. You surely are the sovereign Lord over all things. One great land reaches the end of its time. In its place comes a mighty empire that will exist for Your purposes. You rule over men and angels. You could lay out for us the future of all things from the current moment until the return of Your Son. Nonetheless it is not Your will that we should know all the details of Your future acts of providence. Such knowledge would be too much for us. Help us to rise up from our beds each morning and to be about the business of our great King Jesus Christ. We will do well to serve Him always, and to wait for His return with joy and expectation.

Psalm 117
God of all the earth, everyone everywhere should worship You. Use us as Your servants to extend the glory of Your Name to lands that have never heard of You. Bring the power of redemption through the blood of Your Son to every nation.

Psalm 22
Merciful God, Your Son was cut off for our transgressions. We trust in You. We will not be put to shame. Your Son suffered greatly from the hatred of men. They railed against Him without cause. They nailed Him to a cross. He faced death for our salvation. Yet He trusted in You to the end. You rescued Him. Now He has won for You the praise of the church. We cry out to Him for powerful help. We are not only saved; we are also satisfied. People from many nations shall serve You, even those who are long gone from the earth. All generations shall proclaim Your righteousness, even people not yet born. You have done everything for our salvation, and we will praise You forever.
