Sunday Evening Prayer with Others

As we journey through this final day of the year….. with God – together – you may want to revisit today’s Daily Devotions from MATTHEW 3 verses 1-17 – as we conclude considering TELLING OTHERS THE GOOD NEWS about Jesus through 2023.

We PAUSE with the Lord in prayer as this day and year close….

We REJOICE in the help and blessings He has given this particular Sunday – to us and to others

We ASK for His presence, peace and strength – for ourselves and for others in our church family and our nation and in our world at this time – especially prayerfully supporting the people of Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, Somalia and other parts of our world in deep need at this time

We YIELD – say Yes – to His Kingdom ways for the days ahead

With hope and confidence in You above all others
