Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Rewisse and their church community. Lord, we acknowledge the challenges they face as they transition from their Methodist upbringing to a nondenominational identity. We pray for a spirit of unity and openness to change and growth within the congregation.
Father, we ask that You break any strongholds of resistance and help the members to let go of old trappings and formats that hinder the move of Your Spirit. We pray for a fresh outpouring of Your Holy Spirit upon this church, that they may experience revival and renewal in every aspect of their ministry.
Lord, we lift up the families and youth who have been lost during this transition. We ask for Your healing and restoration, that they may return and find a vibrant, welcoming community. Strengthen the weekly prayer team formed by their pastor, and let their prayers be powerful and effective in bringing about the change that is needed.
We stand on Your promise in Ephesians 3:20, believing that You are able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to Your power that is at work within us. May Your will be done in this church, and may they be a beacon of Your love and truth in their community.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
