“The God of all grace”
Today we’re using 1 Peter 4-5 to shape our prayers.
The God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen." (1 Peter 5:10–11)
Pray for God’s help as you read 1 Peter 4:12–5:13. We’ll be looking at this in church this morning.
How does the church keep going? What are our resources and motivations?
Thank God for his enduring grace to keep his people going.
Pray for someone from church, that they would stand firm, persevere and be filled with joy.
Please also pray … for our national leaders
For leaders of the nations to govern with wisdom, integrity and justice.
For wisdom and guidance in the current circumstances.
For the Church of England to clearly hold out the gospel to this nation.
For our PCC, wardens and leaders to lead diligently, wisely and faithfully with joy and thankfulness in Christ. For the provision of workers, raising of leaders, management of finances and the maintenance of buildings so that the gospel work can continue.
