Being strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.”

Prayer: PRAYING FOR YOUR CHURCH
Oh God, please fix their minds and hearts today on what’s pleasing to You. Fix our minds and hearts on what is pleasing to You. Help us to live for Your pleasure, bearing fruit in every good work. Lord, we pray for good work to abound from our churches. From the followers around us may there be much fruit, through the good work of their lives. May they increase in the knowledge of You. So God help them to grow in the knowledge of You. Help them know You more today than they did yesterday, more tomorrow than they do today. And help them to increase in the knowledge of You.
