Dear Father,

Today I learned that the congregation of Good Ground Family Church is uniting in prayer for the healing of their pastor, Wendell Williams, who is battling serious cancer.

Father, we join them in prayer and we ask for You to perform a miracle.  Spare his life, emboldening him with an even deeper thanksgiving for You that will empower his ministry for years.  Father, create amazing testimonies here – not just in Wendell’s life but also in the lives of members of his congregation.  May what You are doing in his life encourage others as they battle adversities in their own lives.

Dear Father,

I ask tonight for Your grace and compassion on the victims and loved ones of the terrorism in Nice, France.  There are no doubt people suffering in great physical pain this evening.  There are no doubt people suffering with great emotional trauma.  There are people whose lives have been transformed.  I pray that You will comfort all of these hurting people.  I pray for relief from intense pain and heartache.  I pray for rest.  I pray for recovery and healing, physically and emotionally.  I pray that You will move those who love You to embrace all of those who hurt as a result of this evil.

Dear Father,

Loving God, living faith, serving others. This is the commitment of First Baptist Church of Alexandria, VA as expressed on their website.  Father, these words sound like what would make three excellent sections of a testimony.  A testimony is about love for You, about trusting You in difficult times in life, and about serving others from the thankful spirit in our hearts.  I thank You for leading those who designed this church website to share their commitment with us.

I also thank You for the commitment of this church to serving others.  May Your blessings be on their ministries with Carpenter’s Shelter, Bethany House of Northern Virginia, ALIVE! (furniture delivery), and Meals on Wheels.

Dear Father,

I thank You that Grace Church of Alexandria VA has shared on their website the sermon series entitled “Spreading God’s Fame”.

That’s what testimony-sharing is – spreading God’s fame!  We tell about what He has done in our lives, rescuing us from all kinds of trials and troubles.

Father, I ask that You create more testimonies in Grace Church.  Encourage people within the congregation to share their testimonies with the despairing in Alexandria.  Father, please bless their commitment to blogging, that lives will be touched by the words they share with others.

Dear Father,

Awaken Church of McAllen Texas writes on their website:

Inspiring, relevant, authentic…Awaken Church is a home, a place where everyone is significant and full of purpose. We believe that God has a great plan for your life and we are honored to come alongside you in your journey!

Father, I am convinced that published testimonies fit the description of “inspiring, relevant, and authentic”.  A published testimony shows that every life is significant, that every life has purpose.  A published testimony shows how God has a plan for a person’s life.  A published testimony is an invitation for Christ to come alongside someone who is on a difficult journey in life.
