Romans 8:38-39

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Guided Prayer

Prayer is from the BSF Prayer Guide

Adoration: Father, I praise You for Your great love and compassion in sending Jesus to meet the standard of perfection that I could not meet. Lord Jesus, I praise You for attaining the perfection I could never attain. What a God You are! You provided the perfection You require for eternal relationship with You!  

Confession:  Forgive me, Father, when instead of seeking true righteousness in Christ I seek behavior modification. Forgive me when instead of obeying from the heart, I try to reduce pleasing You to a checklist of what to do or not to do and ignore the inward root of sin.

Thanksgiving: Thank you, Holy Spirit, for leading me to follow Christ; thank you for transforming me from the inside out. Thank you for changing my appetites, so I desire what Jesus desires and love what He loves.

Supplication:

Global:  Father, help Your global Church to love freely and  without restrictions, to even loving our enemies who seek to do evil against us. Use our love and prayers extended toward our enemies in a powerful way! Help us to pray for them as Jesus prayed for His enemies from the cross: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” (Luke 23:34)   

Local: Lord, I pray my BSF class/online group will be a place full of grace and compassion, where people don’t have to try hard to make their exterior look good, but instead can bask in the beauty of the gospel as we recognize together how much our flawed hearts need Jesus.

Personal: Father, I’m not comfortable with feeling needy! I like to feel successful! Your Word says, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:3) Use Your Word and Your Spirit to reveal my deep, deep need for You. Help me to grow in constant dependence on Christ.
