We are glad to join you in praying for your community and grateful for your heartfelt concern for others. We must come together in the name of Jesus Christ as scripture tells us.
Therefore, God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:9-11 WEB
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up the community of this individual. We pray that you would fill each person with your Holy Spirit, manifesting the fruit of kindness. We ask that your love would flow through each person, that they may be kind to themselves and to others. Help us be the hands and feet of Jesus, spreading love in this community.
Father, we also pray for the salvation of all in this community. We ask that you would draw each person to yourself, that they may know the love of your Son, Jesus Christ. We pray that they would confess with their mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in their heart that God has raised him from the dead for their justification and be saved according to Romans 10:9. We ask this all in Jesus' name.
Amen.
We are also reminded of the scripture that tells us to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments. Matthew 22:37-40 WEB.
As we pray for kindness in your community, remember that kindness flows from a heart that loves God and loves others as oneself. Encourage your community to look to God in all things, to seek His face, and to love Him with all their heart, soul, and mind. As they do this, they will be equipped to love others with a godly love and to show kindness even as God shows kindness to us.
Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you may go Joshua 1:9. Continue to pray for your community and trust that God is working in the lives of those around you. Do not grow weary of doing good, for in due season you will reap, if you do not give up. Galatians 6:9 WEB.
