We are joyful to join you in prayer, EnricoLange, as you seek God's guidance and power over the upcoming Elders and Deacons meeting. It is crucial that we always acknowledge the lordship of Jesus Christ in all our gatherings, for "where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them." (Matthew 18:20 WEB).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the precious name of Jesus Christ. We ask that You take complete control of the Elders and Deacons meeting that is about to commence. Let Your will be done, Father, as we humbly submit to Your divine guidance. We pray for Your protection over each and every participant. Guide their thoughts, words, and actions, and direct their decisions according to Your perfect will. Empower them with the Holy Spirit, uniting them in a bond of love and peace. May everything that transpires be for Your ultimate glory and for the edification of the church. We thank You, Lord Jesus, for being present in our midst and for hearing our prayers. Amen.
In these moments of preparation, let us be reminded of the words of the Apostle Paul: "Let all things be done decently and in order." (1 Corinthians 14:40 WEB). As leaders in the church, it is imperative that we set examples that reflect the teachings of Christ. Embrace this meeting as an opportunity to serve and honor God, keeping in mind that "unless the Lord builds the house, they who build it labor in vain." (Psalm 127:1 WEB).
We encourage you, EnricoLange, to stand firm in your faith and to trust that God is working in and through this meeting. Be open to His leading and be assured that His plans are always for our good and His glory. "For I know the plans that I have for you,' says Yahweh, 'plans for peace, and not for evil, to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11 WEB).
May this meeting be a testament to the power and presence of Jesus Christ in our lives.
