FOR THE STATE OF OUR HEARTS   

Approaching the end of 2024, let us consider “the wondrous works that He has done” over the last 12 months, both in our personal lives as well as in the life of our church.  As we ponder our frequent neglect in regularly doing so, let us endeavor to approach Him with the thankfulness that He is due. Over the next week, prayerfully consider the following questions:

• How has God’s goodness and faithfulness been revealed in the life of our church in the past year?
• Have we, as a local body of Christ, grown in gratitude for His work in us and among us?
• Have we individually confessed the goodness of God’s providential work in our lives?
• Have I grown in gratitude to our Lord for daily provision and His work in my heart?

As we reflect on these questions, let us:

• Thankfully acknowledge in prayer God’s blessings manifested in specific ways in our own lives and the life of WGBC.
• Confess to the Lord our heart’s tendency toward self-centeredness, insecurity, pride, and entitlement, and ask God to grant the assurance of forgiveness and a renewal of spirit.
• Pray for the renewal of our devotion to honor God, edify one another, and share the Gospel with those around us.
