Prayer Prompt:
Pray for the communities of Sheridan County.
Prayer:
Lord, You have placed us in this specific community, at this specific time for a reason and a purpose. Our church is called to ignite the world for Jesus; may that igniting begin here in Sheridan. Place a burden on our hearts for this county, the town, its leaders, and its citizens. We pray for the protection, well-being, and blessing of everyone here. Give us leaders who will honor You and serve our city well, with integrity and courage as they make decisions that affect Sheridan County and its communities. Give us eyes to see what needs there are, and hearts that desire to fill those needs. Make our church body the hands and feet of Jesus. We pray for the schools in Sheridan County; for the teachers, principals and students. Give them protection and guidance as they teach our children. You are our Prince of Peace, and we pray for Your presence in the streets and homes of our communities. We lift up the local law enforcement, praying for their safety, wisdom, compassion, and courage as they protect the people of this county. We praise You that we get to live in such an amazing place. Help us to make an impact for You on the lives of the people here.
In Your Son’s Name, Amen
Prayer Tip:
Listen to those promptings! Those moments when the Holy Spirit lays something or someone on your heart. Out of the blue we will think about someone we haven’t for a while and we wonder why. Or He will convict us of a sin that needs to be dealt with. Occasionally He will prompt us to do something out of the ordinary that might make us a little uncomfortable, like praying for a perfect stranger at the gas station. These are all ways that God communicates to us how He would like us to pray and who we can be praying for.
Scripture:
“Teacher, which command in the law is the greatest?” He said to him, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important command. The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Matthew 22:36-39
