Prayer

5 of us met tonight to pray for ourselves, our church, the lost, & the upcoming Crusade coming at the end of April. What a blessing it was to hear broken-hearted people slowly begin to bare (bear) their souls to God. I believe it's hard to pray vulnerably in a group.

'God break my heart'.
'God forgive my sins.'
'God change my life, our lives, the life of our church.'
'Father, may our love for You and our love for each other grow to a point to where we want to gather within these walls to worship You more than any other activity that clutters our lives.'
'Father, work through our Sunday School classes to reach our friends who don't know You.'
'Father, break the hearts of my children so they return to You.'
'Father, give me boldness to step outside my comfort zone to speak to people about You.'

I was humbled and encouraged which sounds really weird. God, You still want to work in and through our lives. May we be vessels fashioned by Your hands, and not our own, to serve You as You will and not serve ourselves. May we be known as men and women after God's own heart.
