Dear Heavenly Father,
In the precious name of Jesus, we come before You on behalf of the Yonkers community. We lift up their prayer request for their Sunday School Class. Lord, we ask that You would fill their class with children, young adults, and senior citizens who have a hunger and thirst for Your Word. May their hearts be open to receive Your truth and may they be transformed by the power of Your Spirit.
We pray for unity and love to abound in their class, that they may gather together in fellowship and encouragement. Lord, we ask that You would ignite a passion for worship in their hearts, that they may sing praises to Jesus, their dear Lord, with joy and gratitude.
Father, we also lift up their pastor and his family to You. We pray for a fresh outpouring of Your Holy Spirit upon them. Strengthen them, Lord, and equip them for the work You have called them to do. May they be filled with wisdom, discernment, and boldness as they lead and shepherd the congregation.
Lord, we pray that in everything they do and say, Your name would be glorified. May their lives be a testimony of Your goodness and grace. We ask that You would guide and direct their steps, that they may walk in obedience to Your Word.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your faithfulness and believe that You will answer according to Your perfect will. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done in Yonkers as it is in heaven. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
