On Sunday, August 18,
we will begin a series in Matthew that we are calling Walking with Jesus.
As we look at His life, we’ll see the kind of King that Jesus is. We’ll see
what it means to be Jesus’ disciple, what it looks like to love and to live
like Him. As we consider the character of our Lord, may God change us so that
we would more fully reflect Him.
Prayer Guide: August
18, 2019 – Matthew 8:1-17
1. Give praise to God for
his up close and personal love. Praise the Savior who enters our world in order
to restore what sin has broken.
2. Ask God to give you (and our church) a heart of
compassion that seeks to serve the hurting and the broken with the love of
Jesus.
3. Thank God for His
sovereign authority in all of life. Confess to Him your failure to be properly
motivated and comforted by this reality.
4. Ask God for grace to
trust Him during the difficult times in life – during the seasons when it seems
like nothing is going your way.
5. Thank God for His
sovereign power and the fact that His plans will not ultimately be thwarted!
6. Pray for our Children’s
Ministry Search Team. Ask God to guide every step of the process as we continue
to trust Him to provide for our church family.
7. Ask God to motivate
our church family to be inviting family, friends, neighbors, classmates, and
co-workers to visit Trinity Baptist Church and engage them with the gospel.
8. Pray for people who have
been and will be visiting our church family over the course of the next several
weeks as the new school year begins. Pray that our church family will be
intentional about connecting with new people and helping them to feel welcome.
Pray that many new people will make TBC their church home.
