MVEMC Prayer Night Date, October 1st, 2024
Tonight, we
are praying over two topics. Topic one is asking for discernment for the body
of this church. We have tough decisions to make in the future. Topic two is a
request to the Lord to show us chances for evangelism and how to reach our
neighbours.
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.

you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without

you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not
rebuke you for asking.” NLT

“24 Therefore
everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a
wise man who built his house on the rock.” NIV

built his house on the rock.” ESV
