Lord Jesus, thank you for always leading us to triumph in You! We pray for help for each brother and sister to walk in the reality of being "in Christ" today, to be victorious and more than conquerors in every situation! May we carry the fragrance of knowing You, exuding Your gentleness, compassion, love, humility, and rest, whether at home, with colleagues, friends, or fellow brothers and sisters, so that others may smell Jesus on us and encounter Him!
We pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!

(Isaiah 41:8-10 )
8 “But you, Israel, are My servant,
Jacob whom I have chosen,
The descendants of Abraham My friend.
9 You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth,
And called from its farthest regions,
And said to you,
‘You are My servant,
I have chosen you and have not cast you away:
10 Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

Let us pray together:
Lord Jesus, today we want to specifically pray for the young brothers and sisters in our church. Thank you, Lord, for leading so many young brothers and sisters to our church. We especially lift up the single brothers and sisters in prayer. You know the pressures they face in terms of visa, work, finding a spouse, and other aspects of their lives. We also pray for young parents facing difficulties, and challenges in their families, raising children, and remaining steadfast in serving. May You comfort and encourage them, so they may not be afraid. May You fulfill Your promise to personally strengthen, help, and support them, granting them wisdom and increasing the strength in their hearts. May they acknowledge You in all their ways, finding joy and fulfillment in You!
We pray in the holy name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

and thick darkness the peoples;
but the Lord will arise upon you,
and his glory will be seen upon you.
3 And nations shall come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your rising.

Let us pray together:
Lord Jesus, as we see this present generation becoming increasingly degenerate, corrupt, and offending You, we come before You with true repentance. Forgive us, Your people who know You, for focusing only on our own concerns and not rising up to shine for You! Lord Jesus, help us to rise up for You and become Your living testimonies. In the places You send us today—our workplaces, communities, among colleagues and friends—may we shine for You and testify to Your glory. Let Your glory be revealed in us, so that all nations may come to Your light! We pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!

16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Let's pray together:
Lord Jesus, we pray for our companions who are currently experiencing bodily weakness and various difficulties, asking for Your strength to not lose heart. Although the challenges are very real, Your love surpasses all our experiences! We pray that You enlighten us to help us see that You are in control, and let us see it is so that we may partake in Your surpassing and eternal glory.
Make us more like You! With this faith and hope, we can overlook the present sufferings, and still sing praise in the darkness!
Praying in the holy name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!

We pray especially for those facing challenges but still willing to start tithing, that You, according to Your promises and our experiences, would bless and protect their work, families, health, and all their needs.
