"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7

Mission
There are times in life when everything seems overwhelming – times when you can’t find answers or you don’t know where to turn. But in every season of life the Spirit invites us into a relationship with God through prayer. This is how we align our hearts with His. It is reassuring to know He is there and is listening. Whatever you are going through – times of beauty or ones of trouble – we’d love to pray with you.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
​
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
TO COMFORT GRIEF
Dear God, You are mighty.
You give, You take. I am
but dust. I am broken, hurt, confused, and even angry in this time of grieving. Give me
comfort O Lord, as I stand on
Your holy word. You said
weeping may endure the night, but joy comes in the morning. Father, I long for morning. I await the morning. Stand with me through this darkness. In Jesus's name, Amen.
TO COMFORT GRIEF
THANKS & GRATITUDE

My life overflows with
abundance and generosity.

Almighty, for the provision
of all things good.
