Mountain View Prayer Night September 3rd, 2024

 MVEMC Prayer Night Date, September 3^rd,2024

Tonight, we are praying over two topics. Topic one is offering praise to the Lord for the new people He has brought to our church over the past year. The Lord is at work in our church! Topic two is a request to the Lord for Him to bring young families with young children so that we may continue the Lord's work for another generation.

Instructions: Read the suggested passage offered (or, if you are praying at home and the Holy Spirit brings a different passage to mind, use that passage) in the various translations listed under it. Pay attention to the different English words used by the multiple translators. After reading the translations offer up your praise and prayers to the Lord. Take your time moving on to the next prayer. Wait for a short time in silence listening for anything that the Holy Spirit may say to you. Take this prayer time as an opportunity to grow closer to Jesus in your prayer time.
