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.
Faith in the Invisible
By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible. – Hebrews 11:3 NASB
I cannot see my future, Lord. I must trust in Your wisdom to guide me through these uncharted waters. Although I cannot see what the future holds, You see it, Lord. Open my ears to Your voice and my eyes to Your creative vision for my life. Help me to see where You want me to go. Then give me the courage to steer my life in that direction. Amen.

Walk by Faith
Our life is lived by faith. We do not live by what we see in front of us. – 2 Corinthians 5:7 NLV
Oh God, I see the waves crashing around me, my troubles overwhelming me. I feel as if I am sinking with no foothold to save me! Come to me, Lord. Cover me with your love. Lord, I believe! Help my unbelief! I refuse to look at all the troubles around me. I will keep my eyes on You only. I see Your light and love, Your precious face, Your lips telling me, “It is I; do not be afraid. Just believe.” I believe, Lord! I believe!
