As we've begun this prayer practice as a church family, we will be pausing on occasion to allow space for God to continue to speak to us and fill us with his presence.
Today, reflect on what has been standing out for you during these prayer times.
What is God saying to you? How do you feel from this prayer practice?
What is God inviting you to do? How can you take a simple step of obedience today?
Who is God prompting you to talk to about this? Who can you encourage today based on your prayer practice?
PRAYER:
Father, forgive me for long having a “me first” consumer mentality at church. Help me put others first and seek to use the spiritual gifts you have graciously entrusted to me to build up others (Ephesians 4:16; 1 Corinthians 14:12). Guide me in my interactions so others are blessed and you are glorified. Show me who to talk to, where to sit, and how to encourage others with Scripture. Help me be a channel of encouragement as we see the Day drawing near (Hebrews 10:24–25).
