Deep and Wide in 2025

Prayer to Be Deep & Wide in Our Faith & Service to the LORD 

 

Father, You have blessed our church family with so many positive and powerful things through 2024. We have members with a wide range of talents and passions. We have resources with which we can carry out Your mission to the community around us. There are needs all around us providing us with opportunities to serve and represent You as a God of benevolence, grace, mercy, love, and having a desire to live in a personal relationship with us. 

 

It is our desire to know You better and to develop a deeper bond of trust and dependence upon You. Please help our faith to increase so that we will go where You call us to go and fulfill all that You have prepared for us to accomplish as the body of Christ. What we accomplish is dependent upon our connection to You! Thus, we seek to learn from Your Word and to recognize how it calls us to further transformation in our daily living. Help us to not be satisfied with going through the motions of religion, but to be open to Your guidance so our bonds of intimacy with You grow deeper and deeper. We want a faith that has the power to bring about more good in this world! 

 

Moses was a seeker of You!  He lived in a time when others were satisfied with hearing Your words from a secondary source. They did not want to hear from You directly for fear they would die.  Moses’ hunger to know You took him past those fears. He asked You to reveal more of Yourself to him, and You responded in a powerful way that was a precursor to Jesus’ transfiguration. He literally glowed from being in Your presence! 

 

Please help us to seek more of You so that we will be able to let Your glory shine through us to the community around us. Take us deeper so that our influence will be wider! Help us to see what mountains You want us to climb to be closer to You and prepared for the ministries You call us to be part of. 

 

We need to go beyond our own fears! Perfect love casts out fear, so take us deeper in our understanding of You so that we develop love for You that makes us bold and powerful in our witness. Help us to be sensitive to those who are seeking life and truth and ready to share with them what we have enjoyed in our walk with You. Bring about situations in our nation and world that move people trapped in darkness and lies to look beyond the temporary and physical to the eternal and spiritual. Help us to see how plentiful the harvest is so we are convicted to be the workers You need and want for bringing in the harvest. 

 

Take us deep and help our influence to be wide, all for Your glory! 

 

In the name of Jesus and through the power of Your Holy Spirit, we pray! 

 

Amen!
