09/03/26 Today our Focus on the Family Prayers DAY 12: Let us pray for victims of domestic violence. Heavenly Father, Lord of the Universe, You are a God of compassion and justice. You love the poor and helpless. We know the suffering of victims of domestic violence grieves You. I pray today for those victims who are suffering among us. Rescue the abused. Transform the hearts of abusers. Protect the weak and give hope to hopeless. Let me know how I can be part of restoring the rights and safety of these victims in Jesus name. Amen.

Additionally, let us keep the people in the Nepal flood in our prayers. Almighty and Everlasting God, our Rock, our Fortress and our Deliverer, our God, our strength in whom we trust. Our hearts are saddened and cry out to You in Jesus' name for the people in Nepal affected by the flood waters. So many have lost their lives and others all of their living materials. We mourn with those who mourn and thank You for the lives they had lived. We pray and thank You for those who escaped death yet lost all else. May the Christian organizations, the first responders, the secular organizations and the world come quickly to their aid. May the lost be found, may hope for a future still exist in those who have lost relatives and homes. Lord, I pray for Your guidance in my part to help these people You created.

For those praying with us tonight:
Prayer Meeting Opening Prayer
September 2, 2026

Composed as the opening prayer for an evening prayer meeting based on Christian hymn “The Old Rugged Cross” by George Bennard and Hebrews 12:1-2.

Heavenly Father,

We gather before You this evening with humble and grateful hearts, remembering the message of the old rugged cross. We thank You for the cross where Your Son, Jesus Christ, willingly gave Himself for sinners. What appeared to be an instrument of shame and suffering became, through Your sovereign purpose, the place where mercy, forgiveness, and redemption were made known.

Lord Jesus, we confess that we are often distracted by the cares of this world. We become discouraged by trials, burdened by sin, and tempted to lose heart. Yet Your Word calls us to lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily entangles us and to run with endurance the race set before us.

Help us tonight to fix our eyes upon Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. May we remember that He endured the cross, despising its shame, because of the joy set before Him. Keep the cross ever before our hearts, reminding us of the price of our salvation and the depth of Your love.

Father, help us lay down every burden that prevents us from following Christ faithfully. Take from us bitterness, fear, pride, resentment, doubt, and those sins we have been reluctant to surrender. Give us strength to persevere when the road is difficult and courage to remain faithful when we are weary.

As we begin this evening prayer meeting, unite our hearts in worship and prayer. May Your Holy Spirit search our hearts, renew our faith, and strengthen our commitment to follow Jesus wherever You lead.

We pray especially for those who are carrying heavy burdens tonight. Let them find hope at the cross. Comfort those who grieve, strengthen those who struggle, restore those who have fallen, and draw wandering hearts back to You.

May we never be ashamed of the cross, but gladly proclaim its saving power. And when our earthly race is finished, may we receive the eternal joy prepared for those who faithfully belong to Christ.

We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our crucified and risen Savior.

Amen.

This is a pastoral prayer based on Psalm 41:9-12, Matthew 26:17-30, Luke 22:7-30, Mark 14:12-26, John 6:53-58 and 17:6-19, and 1 Corinthians 11:23-27. Included is a prayer for daily guidance of the Holy Spirit in bring the light of Christ into every aspect of our lives. It closes with a prayer for Pastor Lori’s sermon that follows.

Heavenly Father, our gracious and merciful God:

We come before You with humble hearts, giving thanks for the immeasurable love You have shown us through Your Son, Jesus Christ. As we reflect upon Your Word, we are reminded of the suffering, sacrifice, and faithfulness of our Savior. In Psalm 41, we see the sorrow of betrayal, yet we also see the confidence of the faithful servant who trusts that You uphold him. In the Upper Room, Jesus knew what lay before Him, yet He gathered His disciples, shared the Passover meal, and prepared them for what was to come.

Lord Jesus, we thank You for establishing the Lord’s Supper as a lasting remembrance of Your sacrifice. As we receive the bread and cup, remind us that Your body was given and Your blood was poured out for the forgiveness of sins. Keep us from ever treating this holy remembrance as an empty ritual. Give us hearts that examine ourselves honestly, repent of our sins, and receive Your grace with humility and thanksgiving. May we always remember the price You willingly paid upon the cross for our salvation.

Father, Your Word tells us that Jesus is the Bread of Life and that whoever comes to Him shall never hunger and whoever believes in Him shall never thirst. Teach us to hunger for Christ above everything this world offers. May we feed upon His Word, trust His promises, and abide continually in Him. Help us understand that our true life is found not in possessions, achievements, or earthly security, but in Jesus Christ alone.

We thank You for the prayer of Jesus in John 17, in which He prayed for His disciples and for all who would believe in Him. Lord, we are grateful that Christ intercedes for His people. Keep us in Your truth and protect us from the evil one.

Although we live in this world, remind us that we belong to You. Sanctify us through Your truth and make us faithful witnesses of the Gospel.
Holy Spirit, we ask for Your daily guidance in bringing the light of Christ into every aspect of our lives. Direct our thoughts, words, decisions, relationships, work, families, and service. Help us reflect Jesus when circumstances are difficult and when others may not share our faith. Give us courage to speak the truth with love and wisdom to know when to speak and when to remain silent. May the light of Christ shine through us so clearly that others see His love, grace, mercy, and truth.

Father, help us live as faithful servants rather than seeking positions of importance. Jesus taught His disciples that true greatness is found in serving others. Give us humble hearts that willingly serve our families, our church, our neighbors, and those in need. Let our lives demonstrate the sacrificial love of Christ.

And now, Lord, we ask Your blessing upon Pastor Lori Barry as she brings Your Word to us. Fill her with the Holy Spirit and give her wisdom, clarity, courage, and faithfulness. May she proclaim Your truth without compromise and point every heart toward Jesus. Prepare us to listen with open hearts and willing spirits. Let Your Word convict us where we need correction, encourage us where we are weary, and strengthen us to live faithfully for Christ.

May everything we do bring glory to the One who loved us, gave Himself for us, and promised to remain with His people forever.

We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen

Prayer Meeting Opening Prayer
August 26, 2026
Composed as the opening prayer for an evening prayer meeting based on Christian hymn “The Haven of Rest” by H. L. Gilmour and Exodus 33:18-23.
Gracious and Holy Father,
We come before You this evening seeking the haven of rest that can be found only in Your presence. Like the soul that has grown weary from wandering, we long to lay down our burdens and find refuge in the shelter of Your unfailing love. You alone are our true resting place, our strength, and our peace.
Lord, as Moses stood before You and prayed, “Please show me Your glory,” we too come with hearts that desire to know You more deeply. We recognize that Your glory is beyond our human understanding, and Your holiness is greater than we can comprehend. Yet You have graciously revealed Yourself to us and invited us to draw near through Jesus Christ.
Father, we thank You that You are merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in steadfast love. When the storms of life surround us, keep us anchored securely in Christ. When fear and uncertainty threaten to overwhelm us, remind us that You are our refuge and our haven of rest.
As we begin this evening prayer meeting, help us to quiet our minds and turn our attention fully toward You. Set aside the distractions of the day and open our hearts to the ministry of Your Holy Spirit. May we come before You with humility, reverence, and expectant faith.
Protect us, Lord, as You protected Moses when Your glory passed by. Hide us beneath the shelter of Your grace when we are unable to bear the fullness of Your majesty. Let us see enough of Your goodness tonight to strengthen our faith and renew our hope.
Bless those who come weary, burdened, grieving, or troubled. Give them rest for their souls. Restore the discouraged, strengthen the weak, and comfort those who need Your loving presence.
May our prayers rise before You as an offering of worship, and may everything we do tonight glorify Your holy name.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord, our refuge and our eternal haven of rest. He is the rock on which we stand in Your presence.
Amen

rayer Meeting Opening Prayer
August 19, 2026

Composed as the opening prayer for an evening prayer meeting based on Christian hymn “I Am His and He Is Mine” by George Robinson and Jeremiah 31:3.

Holy, Gracious and Merciful “I Am that I Am:”

We come before You this evening with humble and grateful hearts, rejoicing in the wonderful truth that we belong to You. Your Word tells us that You have loved Your people with an everlasting love and have drawn us to Yourself with unfailing kindness. What a precious assurance it is to know that Your love did not begin with us, nor will it end because of our failures. Your love is eternal, steadfast, and unchanging.

Father, we thank You for the words of the hymn, “I Am His and He Is Mine,” which remind us of the blessed relationship we have through faith in Jesus Christ. Because we belong to Christ, we are never truly alone. In times of joy, You are with us. In seasons of sorrow, You sustain us. When we are uncertain about tomorrow, Your loving hand remains upon us. When we stumble, Your grace calls us back.

Lord, help us understand more deeply what it means to be Yours. Guard our hearts from the distractions and temptations of this world. Teach us to find our greatest security not in possessions, circumstances, or human approval, but in the unchanging love of our Savior.

As we begin this evening prayer meeting, draw us nearer to Yourself. Quiet our minds, remove the burdens that have followed us through this day, and help us rest in Your presence. May our prayers be expressions of sincere love, trust, thanksgiving, and dependence upon You.

We pray for those among us who feel forgotten, discouraged, lonely, or burdened. Remind them tonight that Your everlasting love surrounds them. Strengthen the weak, comfort the grieving, encourage the fearful, and restore the weary.

May everything we say and pray bring glory to Jesus Christ, who loved us and gave Himself for us.

We are Yours, Lord, and You are ours forever.

In Jesus’ precious name,

Amen

Pastoral Prayer

This is a pastoral prayer based on Matthew 26:1-16, Mark 14:1-11, and John 12:1-11. It includes a prayer for joyful giving of the best we have while serving the Lord; a pray for God’s wisdom in making decisions in our daily living; and a prayer asking that our national, state and local leaders seek the Lord’s wisdom in making their decisions. It closes with a prayer for Pastor Lori’s sermon that follows.

Heavenly Father, Gracious and Holy God:

We come before You with humble hearts, seeking Your presence and giving You praise. We thank You for Your Word, which reveals both the love of Christ and the condition of the human heart. As we reflect upon Matthew 26, Mark 14, and John 12, we remember the final days before our Savior willingly gave Himself for us.

Lord Jesus, we see the contrast in these passages between those who plotted Your death and Mary, who poured out costly perfume upon You. While religious leaders sought an opportunity to destroy You, Judas sought his own advantage and betrayed You. Yet Mary understood something that others failed to see. She recognized Your worth and gave what was precious to her without hesitation. Her act of devotion reminds us that true love for Christ is willing to sacrifice.

Father, teach us to give You the best we have. Forgive us when we offer You what is left over—our remaining time, our leftover energy, or our reluctant obedience. Give us hearts like Mary’s, ready to serve Christ joyfully and generously. May our giving, our worship, our work, and our service flow from genuine love for our Savior. Help us understand that nothing offered to Jesus in sincere faith is wasted.

Lord, give us wisdom in the decisions we make each day. Before we speak, help us consider whether our words honor You. Before we act, guide us to ask whether our actions reflect the character of Christ. When we face difficult choices, keep us from being governed by fear, pride, greed, anger, or the desire to please others. Give us discernment through Your Holy Spirit and guide us according to the truth of Your Word. Help us seek Your will rather than merely asking You to bless our own plans.

We pray especially for our national, state, and local leaders. Give them wisdom beyond human understanding. May they seek truth rather than political advantage, righteousness rather than popularity, and justice rather than personal gain. Place wise counselors around them and turn their hearts toward decisions that protect the innocent, strengthen our communities, preserve peace, and serve the common good. May they recognize that authority is ultimately accountable to You.

Father, make Faith Community Church a people who willingly give our best in serving Christ. Give us joyful hearts, willing hands, generous spirits, and faithful perseverance. Let our church be known not merely for what we possess, but for how faithfully we use what You have entrusted to us for the advancement of Your kingdom.

And now, Lord, we pray for Pastor Lori as she prepares to bring Your Word. Fill her with the Holy Spirit. Grant her wisdom, clarity, courage, and faithfulness to Scripture. Anoint her words so that Jesus Christ is lifted high and Your truth reaches every heart. Prepare us to listen with humility, receive Your Word with faith, and respond with obedience.

May the message that follows draw us closer to Christ and inspire us to give Him our very best.

We pray in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.
Amen
