PRAYER

Prayer opens our hearts to the power of God’s love. Prayer is how we become channels of God’s love for the world. Prayer is a gift from God – He wants to hear from us!

Pray for Others – If you would like to be part of Christ Church’s prayer chain and receive emails with prayer requests from our congregation, please contact Karen Smith.

The Prayer Tree is located in The Commons and a part of the Prayer Ministry. Complete a prayer “leaf” and it will be prayed over by the church.

To submit a prayer request, you may send an email message to prayer@cc-um.org. If you would prefer a more private prayer request, you can contact Dr. Marc Donaldson.

Created for Good Works

Posted on Sep 5, 2018 in Daily Prayer |

We are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. – Ephesians 2:10 NLT

You have shaped me into the unique person I am today. You have created me to do good works. I am awed that you prepared things in advance for me to do. From the very beginning, You made me for a specific job in Your kingdom. Give me the courage to take hold of that task. Help me not to shy away from the challenges that face me. Amen.

In the World

Posted on Sep 4, 2018 in Daily Prayer |

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. – John 17:15-16, 18 KJV

Lord, sometimes I feel like Captain Kirk. When faced with the evils of this world, I want to say, “Beam me up, God!” but I know that no matter what happens in this world, Your hand is guarding us. And armed with Your compassion, we have the power to intercede for the hungry, the oppressed, the imprisoned, the homeless, the wounded. You have given us the power to overcome the world. Amen.
