in our works,
(done in our own strength)
without his love
for the approval of men
I Cor. 13:1-3
OR
IN His righteousness ?
(works of faith)
(prepared by god)
(done in Jesus Name)
for his glory
(in the spirit's power)
Lord, "I believe, help my unbelief"
Could this be the prayer of your heart ?
Heavenly Father,
Our spirits are willing, but our flesh is weak. Jesus taught us always to pray and not to faint (Luke 18:1). We humbly confess our lack of prayer and realize that our problems come from our brokenness and disconnection. We need your view of things and your provision. Without them we faint. We fail to love ourselves, to love our families, and to love those who look to us in this life. But with your help as those born again in spirit, we can offer prayers that connect with You. As we do, we see Christ overcoming the sin and death within us.
Lord Jesus, Resurrection comes through You. You bring us to the Father just as the Holy Spirit brings You near in this world. Humility moves us as individuals, as families, and as churches to be faithful in prayer. Help us to trust Your will, even when it seems less than we expect. Help us to wait for Your answers and agreement in the Spirit. Teach us what is pleasing in Your sight, that we might be truly thankful and give you praise.
Please forgive us when we miss the mark and pray selfishly. Yes, we can easily pray for You to bless our plans rather than ask that Your will be done, first, and above correcting the injustices in this world. We long to see the crooked made straight, but evil must be opposed, and the eternal put above the temporal. Please help New England to come to life again with Your gospel. Bless all those who will believe, and that You will add to Your Church. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Faith in the ONE true GOD
unites us to follow Jesus,
moves us together as His Church:
Seeing Christ
above our denominational differences,
Sharing the gospel in our locations,
and preparing for Jesus return.
