Psalm 23 - A Psalm of David

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

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 hea

Pray for those with depression and anxiety.

Merciful God, we thank you for your promises. Today, we lift up all those suffering with depression and anxiety. This time of separation and uncertainty are all the more difficult for those who already suffer with this mental health condition and for those experiencing it for the first time now. Loving God, we thank you that you hear us when we cry out to you and for your promise to be near to the brokenhearted and to those crushed in spirit. We ask that you would replace the darkness of depression with your light. Through your Spirit, Lord, we ask that you replace sadness and anxiety with your joy and peace. Help all those who are weary in spirit and lift them from the pit of despair. Come quickly, Lord, to save those who are crushed in spirit and experiencing anxiety. We thank you, that you call all of us who are burdened and weary to come to you, and for your promise of rest for our souls. We call upon you now and cling to your promises. Bring healing, in Jesus’ name we pray, Ame

Pray for parents as they navigate summer and new summer camp plans.

We first thank you for health, provision, and for our families. At this time, Lord we come before you, and lift up in prayer all parents of kids and students. Especially the ones who were looking forward to sending their kids to camp this summer. Lord, we ask you to give them wisdom and the right words as they break the news that summer plans have changed too because of COVID-19. We ask you to prepare the kids & students’ hearts, so they can hear and understand that it is for their safety and it is just temporary. Father God, we ask you to bless parents/caregivers with creative ideas that will not only provide fun for the kids/students, but also will allow the family bonds to be strengthened. Let us all see this time as an opportunity and not an interruption. An opportunity to do what we haven’t been able to do previously during summer because of a super busy schedule. Let it be the birth of new family traditions, devotional time, book reading, game nights, backyard bbq, wat
