LDC Prayer Request: Pray for the brothers and sisters attending the LDC

Let us pray together:
Dear Lord, may You draw us with love, power, and glory, so that we may have a true desire and longing for You. We also pray for one another, that everyone may humbly and earnestly prepare themselves each day for worshiping You, as well as for attending and serving at the upcoming Laborer Day Conference. We pray that as we seek and long for You in this way, at this year's conference, You will increasingly manifest "Your power and Your glory" to Your children and the church. We are willing to continually lift our hands in praise to You for this, please remember us!
We pray in the name of Jesus. Amen!

"40 Days Prayer for building of the church"
Day 16:
(Matthew 6:31-33)
31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

LDC Prayer Request: Pray for brothers and sisters join together in the building of church and Bethel hall

Let us pray together:
Lord Jesus, thank You for reminding us not to worry about what we will eat, drink, or wear, because our Heavenly Father already knows our needs. Lord, teach us how to seek Your kingdom and Your righteousness first. Help us to understand Your heart and to contribute ourselves to the building and establishment of the church. Through prayer, service, and giving, let us work together with You, so that Your kingdom may come in our church and Your glory may fill our midst even more. Then we will experience You removing all our worries, for You will provide all that we need. Thank You, Lord Jesus! We pray in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen!

(2 Corinthians 9:6-8)
6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

LDC Prayer Request: Pray for the Bethel Building Offering


Let us pray together:
Dear Lord, we thank you for showing us another aspect of the gospel —that man can indeed satisfy God. Lord, we thank you for walking the path of the cross for us, pouring out your entire life. We also thank you, as the Lord of all, for accepting our unworthy offerings despite our unworthiness. May your love inspire us and increase our faith, so that we too may willingly and joyfully walk the path of giving, offering our best to you in love, and together emitting the sweet fragrance that glorifies God and benefits others.

In the name of Christ Jesus, we pray. Amen!

"40 Days Prayer for building of the church"
Day 12:
(Psalm 84:1-4)
1 How lovely is Your tabernacle,
O Lord of hosts!
2 My soul longs, yes, even faints
For the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
3 Even the sparrow has found a home,
And the swallow a nest for herself,
Where she may lay her young—
Even Your altars, O Lord of hosts,
My King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in Your house;
They will still be praising You.

Let us pray together:
Lord Jesus, we pray for You to open our eyes more, so that we may treasure Your dwelling place and thirst for Your presence even more deeply! We also pray for our hearts to be filled with fervor for Your temple, and that we may be willing to present our prayers, offerings, and efforts in building the Bethel Hall. Let 3131 Bowers be a place pleasing to You, where Your name is praised, Your glory shines among us, and the light of Your grace draws the whole of Silicon Valley!
We pray in the holy name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
