DO YOU PRAY FOR CHRIST UNITED?
A year ago I spoke about the importance of Prayer for the life of Christ United Lutheran Church in Granite Falls. A church is built on prayer, and trust in God’s work. You are invited to print the following prayer, and pray it every day.
Father in Heaven, this is a new day. I commit myself to the role you have invited me to play, as you are building your church in this world. I am thankful that you have included me in your kingdom and in the ministry of Christ United Lutheran Church. So today I offer you: My Love / My Heart / My Talents / My Energy / My Creativity / My Faithfulness / and My Gratitude!
I give myself to the role you have given to me in the life of Christ United Lutheran Church so that it may grow in Granite Falls. Help me to tell others about your love so that your Name may be glorified, through Jesus Christ. Amen.
Remember the apostle Paul's words: "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do" (Ephesians 2:10). No doubt about it—He's created you to do the things He's already prepared for you to do, right where you are today.
This can be an empowering prayer—who knows where it will lead? Will you pray it every day?
