Heavenly Father,
I come before You with a humble heart, seeking Your guidance and grace on this journey of planting and growing a new church. Lord, You are the ultimate creator and sustainer of all things, and I ask that You empower us with Your wisdom and strength.
As we embark on this path, may our every step be guided by Your love and purpose. Fill us with compassion and empathy, so we can truly serve and uplift the community You have placed before us. Remind us that even in our moments of uncertainty, Your presence is steadfast and unchanging.
In Isaiah 40:31, You promise that those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength; may this truth be the anchor of our journey. Let us soar on wings like eagles, run and not grow weary, walk and not be faint. Lord, grant us resilience and courage to face the challenges ahead with unwavering faith.
Help us nurture not just physical spaces where people can gather, but also a spiritual home where hearts are healed and souls find rest. May our church be a beacon of Your light, drawing others closer to the promise of Your grace and redemption.
Teach us to love as You have loved us, with patience and kindness. Refine our vision and align it with Your will, so that every endeavor we undertake speaks of Your glory and goodness.
Thank You, Lord, for those who journey alongside us—their shared dreams and faith fuel our mission. Bless us with unity and peace, so we may build a community that reflects Your divine love.
With profound gratitude, I entrust this prayer to You, knowing that in Your hands lies the power to do immeasurably more than we could ever ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).
In Jesus’ name, I pray,
Amen.
