Kingdom Prayer Focus
Lord God, you know the beginning from the end, and we trust you for the trials and hard lessons you send our way that teach us and mold us as we walk with you. Expose those sins we are hiding and bring us to a place of repentance before you. For we know that our hidden sins hurt not only us, but those around us, our families, our friends, and our church. Convict us with the revelation that life is not about us individually but IS about us as a church body. What we do affects the church body, our witness, and our testimony about your son. Remind us to think of others as we walk the narrow road. Remind us to keep our eyes focused on the only one who can save us from condemnation, and that it is only by your grace we are saved, not of ourselves. In Jesus name, amen.
