Pray that we would "Dare to Love" those around us who are struggling financially.

Father God, thank you for being our consistent source of peace and provision in this inconsistent time. Our hearts break, God, for those who are facing financial struggles. In response to this global pandemic, rapid changes to our economy have impacted employment and personal finances for so many. And yet, your provision continues.

Father, we ask that you help keep our eyes wide, seeking opportunities to share what we have with others. Whether it is by purchasing groceries for a neighbor, donating to area relief organizations, or by giving generously to our church, allow what you have provided us to run over for those in our community. Allow us to keep our hands open and to respond to needs with generosity. Activate the spirit within each of us to give with bolder faith. For we know, God, that your provision for others often comes through your own people. Let us give from a posture of humility, leading with empathy and compassion. Allow your grace, mercy, and love to pour from our hearts onto anyone we may encounter so that it is clear that you are the one ultimately meeting their lasting needs. For all the glory and honor are yours, Father. Amen.

Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to. -Deuteronomy 15:10 (NIV)

Pray for those who are mourning and grieving the death of a loved one.

God of compassion, we lift up those who are mourning and grieving the death of a loved one during this time. Surround them with your presence and fill every longing during this time of separation. We ask that you would hold them close to your heart in the moments when they feel helpless, alone and caught up in deep sadness. God of comfort, in their grief, would you shelter them in the shadow of your wing. Ever-faithful God, help them to feel your love through these words of hope to all your people from the prophet Isaiah: "Because you are precious to me, because I love you, there is no need to be afraid, for I am with you." Father, in this time when families and friends cannot draw near to one another for comfort, we ask that you would be their strong rock, their comforter, healer and friend. Draw them close to you, Lord, and help them to sense your deep love and promised presence.  In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. -Matt...

Philippians 4:4-7 - Think of Excellence (The Living Bible)

Always be full of joy in the Lord; I say it again, rejoice! Let everyone see that you are unselfish and considerate in all you do. Remember that the Lord is coming soon. Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank him for his answers. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus. Join others at 12 PM today to pray for our local and global community.

Philippians 4:8-9 (New International Version)

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
