Morning Prayer, May 25, 2025

May 25, 2025 by Poimen

Our God and Savior,

In adoration…

We praise You and bless You, because You are… gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love…

You are… good to all, and [your] mercy is over all that [you have] made.

All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord, and all your saints shall bless you!

On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, [we] will meditate. (Psalm 145:4–21)

We confess…

… that often our minds and hearts are cluttered with the affairs and cares of this life. We ask for your help to turn our hearts toward you, who is the source and sustainer of all life. By your grace, help us to see the world around us in light of who you are, and may we rest in what you are doing.

With thanksgiving…

… we come before you remembering your faithfulness in our shortcomings, your grace in our weakness, your love in our obstinance, and your strength when we’ve lost all hope.

Supplication

Our Nation

On this Memorial weekend, we pray for our nation. We are thankful for the many liberties afforded us, acknowledging that these freedoms were granted and are kept by the sacrifice of countless thousands who gave their lives to defend them. May we, especially your people, be thankful for these sacrifices. 

More so, may we, as your people who are granted the liberty to speak openly about the saving grace of Jesus Christ, do so. May we proclaim the true liberty, freedom from sin’s bondage and deliverance from sin’s consequences.

May we, as your people who are granted the liberty to assemble to worship our God and creator, faithfully do so. Help us not to forsake assembling as your people.

May we, as your people who are granted to live righteously in an unrighteous world, live in the fear of God and not the fear of man.

Physically Sick

We thank you for ******* *******’s successful brain surgery and her quick recovery. We pray the test results this week will show the tumor removed to be benign…

We thank you for **** ****’s beneficial radiation treatments that are shrinking the tumors in his liver… we pray for continued health…

We thank you for ***** *****’s quick recovery from being thrown from his horse carriage… we pray for complete recovery…

We continue to pray for ***** *****, **** *******, and ***** *******, who are being treated for heart failure…

We pray for the numerous others in our congregation who are facing physical ailments. We pray for their healing.

More so, we pray that you will use their physical ailments to crowd them nearer to you, the great physician… that in their physical sickness, they would be strengthened in spirit to trust you and to lean on you.

Partners in the Gospel

We pray for brothers and sisters with whom we partner in the gospel. Today, we remember Pastor Matt Parker and Harrison Bible Church. As they gather this morning, may Christ be exalted in their midst. May they be faithful to provoke one another to good works. Powerfully use Pastor Matt as He proclaims the glory of our God, may your people be blessed, and may the lost be turned to You.

We pray for missionaries to Brazil, Mark & Jess Stucky and their family, who are with us this morning. We pray that their time in the States will be beneficial for the sake of the gospel. Use them to be a blessing to your people, and use your people to be a blessing to them. Grant them physical rest as well as refreshment for their souls. We pray for their church in Brazil, Igreja Ministério Bíblico de Sapiranga, as they gather today. May Christ be magnified, the saints be edified, and the lost be pointed to Jesus.

Thank you for what you are doing in our midst as we gather, and as we live for you throughout the week.

These things we pray for the sake of Jesus Christ,

Amen

March Suggested Book of the Month

March 1, 2017 by Poimen

SUGGESTED BOOK OF THE MONTH
Lord, Teach Me to Pray
by John MacArthur

This book is “an invitation to intimate prayer” and sidesteps much of the unnecessary mysticism that some writers would ascribe to prayer.

Many Christians across our nation view prayer as simply an option and something that is not really necessary except during times of trouble.

In easy-to-understand English, John MacArthur shows Christians from The Word of God how it is God’s will for all His children to pray and that He wants us all to pray consistently.

The book also covers aspects of prayer including confession, praise, petition, hindrances to prayer and motivation to prayer.

Finally, throughout the book are sample prayers by John Macarthur and Charles Spurgeon.

We found this book Here.
