Prayer focus

Here's a prayer focus that I sent out to our staff at Embrace today. If it connects for you in your faith community, feel free to share it, adapt it, and pray it. -Matt

 Jesus, we pray today that your name would be always on our lips, your Spirit would be evidenced in our interactions with those around us, and that your love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control would be the very things that people would use to describe us as we become more and more like you. God, we pray that you would give us faithful hearts to pray for the same in the lives of those you have called us to serve and that you would release something in the heart of Embrace that we haven't experienced yet and haven't even thought to ask for. That in doing so you would spill out of our lives all over our families, our communities, and anywhere else that you would choose to send us to do your transforming work in this world. Be praised in all, through all, and by all. Amen
