Praise and Prayer for 4/6

"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name" - Matthew 6:9 (NIV 1984)

Due to Spring Break, there is no prayer meeting at church this week but we join for a time of prayer every Wednesday night from 8-9pm.

Answered prayers:

New prayer requests:
  • To keep in step with our current series on prayer, pray for growing intimacy in our relationship with God the Father and developing an attitude of reverence and awe for God. His love for us is unfailing and He alone is worthy of our praise!
Active prayer requests: 
  • Continue to be in prayer for the current series on prayer, and the All Church Prayer Gathering on April 15 and 22. Pray for God's Spirit to lead us as we learn and go deeper into the Lord's Prayer, and as we corporately pray for the church.
  • Pray for open and humble hearts as we build Christian mentoring relationships at Pathway this year. Prayerfully consider how God would use you to be a mentor and/or be mentored. 
  • Pray for God's wisdom and deliverance as the ELT continues to look into improving church finances. Pray for progress in working toward possible solutions to our rental situation. Pray  that we will follow God's leading and represent Him well.
  • Pray for our Life Groups and the focus to experiencing life together. Pray for development of leaders and for groups to desire to reach out to help others connect with a group.
  • Pray for God's wisdom and leading as we minister in the Dublin and surrounding community. Thank God for the opportunity to partner with Open Heart Kitchen to help serve meals to those in need in our community and for our Food Ministry to distribute food to Wexford Way and Camille Place, and continue to be in prayer for these ministries. May God's love and hope be experienced in our community.

Please incorporate the following in your prayer: 
  • Praise Him for specific evidences of His glory, power, wisdom, grace, mercy, faithfulness, love, or other attributes in our lives this week.
  • Give thanks with grateful and joyful hearts for specific blessings we have received this week.
  • Come before Him with humble hearts and pray for our lives to align with His purposes.
  • Pray for Pathway's leadership to seek Him first in all decision making, to lead by example, to be passionate and committed to growing our congregation as followers of Christ, and to receive encouragement from God and our congregation.
  • Pray for commitment to God's vision and mission for Pathway and our responsibility as part of the body to fulfill the mission.
