September 20, 2022 How To Pray for Your Neighbors

 

Dear Sisters,

We pray for others because we want to bless them.  A simple way to pray for people you care about is to use the B-L-E-S-S acronym.

B - Body: Pray for good health, protection, and strength. 

L - Labor: Pray for their work, their ministry, and their financial security. 

E - Emotional: Pray for emotional health and good quality of life; for joy, peace, and hope. 

S - Social: Pray for loving relationships with their family and friends. 

S - Spiritual: Pray for their salvation, that they will come to know Jesus and walk with God.

What does the Scriptures tell us about B.L.E.S.S.

1. Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. (3 John 1:2)

2. May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands. (Psalm 90:17)

3. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)

4. A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity. (Proverbs 17:17)

5. Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6)


How can we pray for you and your loved ones today?

March 17, 2022 Our Father...

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Are you wearing green today to avoid being pinched by leprechauns and other fairy creatures?  Or do you cling onto Psalm 84:11 today and everyday? Last week, our homework was to pick a Scripture verse to memorize.  Would you like to share your verse with the group?   Today, our study is on the first phrase of The Lord's Prayer. " Our Father in heaven , hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." Matthew 6:9=13 For centuries, believers have memorized and used the Lord's prayer as a tool for going to God in prayer. It was given by Jesus in response to his disciple's request for a lesson in prayer. It continues to be a lesson for us as well. Here is today's video lesson  Our Father Questions for Reflection 1. Have you memorized ...

  CLICK TO WATCH: More is Happening Than You See Reading Assignments: Job 42:1-6 Genesis 50 Matthew 1:5 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. In Job 42:1-6, Job ends up repenting because he realized his life was part of a much bigger story than he could see.

Looking at what Joseph learned at the end of his story in Genesis 50, have you ever seen the good in something bad that happened to you?   3. When you look at Matthew 1:5, and how God orchestrated the details of these women’s stories, what insight does it give you about how God works?
