sjohn1281Prayers: 5Requests: 3
May 28, 2020 at 1:23 amMy church is small and does not have many ministries. Most folks in church are younger singles, married or older married with kids. I’m in my late 30s and single male. I do not have a close relationship with my biological family. I find it difficult to find a community in the church I attend as they focus on family.
– If reminded pray that I will seek God first and find Him sufficient.
– That I don’t get caught up in anger with flaky people or fall into depression.
– That I don’t replace work with spiritual growth.
– That I don’t pursue ungodly relationships to replace communityThanks.

May 28, 2020 at 11:59 amFather, you say that, our times , and seasons are in your hands. There is a body of believers that you desire our brother to be a part of. Lord, I thank you that you are already at work, and in the process of leading him to the church where he will be able to find peers of his own age to fellowship with.
Help him to trust you with the timing. Enable him Lord to keep his eyes stayed upon you as he continues to make you his all in all. And in so doing, help him to not focus on people. Remind him that we are all still under construction. And that none of us is perfect.
And Father place in him a strong desire to pursue after you, and the things of your kingdom. Help him to guard his heart. And not to be drawn away into improper relationships.
Lord, i’m praising! you for all that you are doing in my brothers life.
In Jesus name i pray.

May 28, 2020 at 4:54 pmAmen. Abba Father! You are the God of singles and community. Thank You Lord that as the incarnate Son of Man You remained single and in community. What an example to dear sjohn1281. Father, thank You for his heart – what precious requests he asks – not about himself but about the community he serves. Grant his requests O Lord, and do more, so much more than he could imagine or think. Praise Your Name!

May 28, 2020 at 5:17 pmLifting you up dear Brother in Christ! God has great and wonderous things for you! Strengthen your LOVE for him everyday. I pray that you eyes will be open to the miracles everyday and for you to know without a doubt – He has designed you for great things. PRAISE HIS NAME. Here is a prayer for you:
Loving Father, thank You for sending Jesus to come as our perfect example of a godly Man, a Man Who demonstrated that godly living means to walk in spirit and truth, in submission to the Holy Spirit and in obedience to You, His heavenly Father.
Lord, I lift up Christian men everywhere and pray that Your Spirit of grace and truth may rest and remain on each one. I pray that Christian men may grow in grace and in a knowledge of Christ Jesus their Lord, and that they become strong in the Lord and in His mighty strength, and not rely on their own abilities but rest in Him alone.
May the beautiful character of the Lord Jesus be increasingly reflected in each one, and may the Christian men throughout the world be godly witnesses to the truth of the gospel both in their own home and with others, with whom they come in contact.
Build up the body of Christ, I pray, with an army of Christian men who will become a reflection of the Lord Jesus so that they may grow into mighty men of God. In Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen.
