At times, the Lord leads His children through seasons of suffering. Some face physical pain and illness, others experience major life upheavals, and still others endure struggles we may know nothing about. During these difficult times, the prayers and support of the church are especially important.
Please pray:
- For those in our church who are suffering: that God would strengthen their faith in His goodness, even in these circumstances, and help them trust His plan for their lives.
- For their families: that they would grow stronger in the Lord through these trials and be a source of support and encouragement to their loved ones.
- For ourselves: that we would have compassionate hearts, sharing in the sufferings of others and helping them through their trials.
- For God’s mercy and deliverance: the Lord is able to deliver His children from suffering, for He is merciful and compassionate (James 5:11).
