Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Lucindah's prayer request to you. We thank you for the privilege of gathering together as a church and for the power of the Holy Spirit that fills our services. We ask that you continue to pour out your Spirit upon us, guiding and leading us in all that we do.
Lord, we lift up the lost souls who came to our church this morning. We pray that their hearts would be open to receive your love and salvation. May your Spirit draw them closer to you and reveal the truth of your Word to them. We ask for divine appointments and opportunities for them to encounter your grace and mercy.
Father, we also lift up those who are facing eviction from their homes. We pray for your provision and protection over them. You are the God who sees and knows every need. We ask that you would intervene on their behalf, providing them with a safe and secure place to call home. Comfort them in their distress and surround them with your peace.
Lord, we know that nothing is impossible for you. Your Word reminds us that if we ask anything in your name, believing, we shall receive. We hold onto these promises as we bring these requests before you. May your will be done in these situations, and may you be glorified through it all.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
