Prayers for the New Year
During this first week of 2023, please be in prayer for God’s blessings upon our labors as a church to reach others with the gospel of grace in Christ this year. Pray especially for the Lord to guide everyone in a leadership position (i.e., the elders, deacons, trustees, board officers, and committee chairs), granting them wisdom, discernment, and spiritual maturity as they seek to follow the Lord’s will for the ministries of RHCC. Pray for the members of each committee and for all of the other faithful members of this church, that together we may be found “standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel” (Phil 1:27).
Pray to the Lord that we all “may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy; giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.” (Col 1:9-12)
Blessings in Christ,
Pastor Evan
