A prayer for Covenant Community Church

“We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brethren, as is only fitting, because your faith is greatly enlarged, and the love of each one of you toward one another grows ever greater” (II Thess. 1:3).

Dear God, thank you for Your people who make up Covenant Community Church. Thank you for the privilege of being a part of them. You have been good to bless us with many manifestations of your grace through these years. Thank you for enlarging our faith, especially in opening our eyes more and more to the centrality of the Lord Jesus and the total sufficiency of His finished work for us. Thank you also for the love for one another that lives in our fellowship and for the growing expressions of that love that are being displayed.

Please extend Your grace to us that we would grow more and more in our trust in You and Your gospel, and please cause our love for one another to increase even more. In these merciful works of Your Spirit, may You receive all the glory.

I offer this prayer through Jesus and on the basis of His priestly work in my behalf. Amen.
