Prayer Diary October to December 2021
Transcript of Prayer Diary October to December 2021
Introduction It’s good to pray
It’s good to connect with God
It’s good to bring before him the needs of our community, our church and our world.
It’s good that the church family of St. David’s pray for one another on a regular basis.
That’s what this Prayer Diary is all about.
Covering a period of 3 months it ensures that everyone is upheld in prayer. It can be a tremendous encouragement to know that people are praying for you by name every month (even if we don’t know each other’s specific needs, we can trust that God does!)
You are encouraged to set a little time aside each day (see www.communityofsoulfriends.org for ideas on how to do this) and simply bring the people and the situations for that day before God
When we pray, stuff happens - let’s all join in!
With every blessing
