Day 13 Prayer for the Global Methodist Church General Conference

09/04/2026

Hello Cedar Grove Methodist Church!
Welcome to our Weekend Encouragement post! The song is "Standin' in the Need of Prayer," #444 in our hymnal. It is about our need for prayer. It is about our need to commune with the Lord, approaching His throne of grace with all our prayers and petitions. With that, here are some encouraging Scripture verses and a prayer!
Psalm 4:1-2 - "Answer me when I call to you, my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; have mercy on me and hear my prayer. How long will you people turn my glory into shame? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods?"
Hebrews 4:16 - "Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."
1 John 5:13-15 - "I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him."
Heavenly Father, we humbly come to you in prayer. We boldly approach your throne of grace with all our prayers and petitions. Meet us in our times of prayer, as we talk to you every day. We come to you with gratitude and joy, with heartache and unease, with everything, Lord. We know you hear us and you do respond. We need you, Lord. In the name of Jesus, we pray, amen.

Teaching:
Point #35: What is our greatest hope?
- "We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come."
- John 6:39-40 (NIV) - "And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day."
- 1 Corinthians 15:20-23 (ESV) - "But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ."
- Philippians 4:20-21 (NRSV) - "But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will transform the body of our humiliation that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, by the power that also enables him to make all things subject to himself."
