Week of Prayer (Night 2)

Tonight, Rich, myself, Ros, Phil, Emma, David and Andy gathered slowly into the front room and spent our second night in prayer, reflecting on the amazing things God has been doing and praying for the coming of His Kingdom! David prayed that we would not just 'be' and live out God's Kingdom through our lives, but we would recognise it as more than our lives, that we would become fully emersed in the Kingdom of God! Phil shared an amazing description of what faith means... moving not just from belief in God, but realising that God cares for us! We prayed again for Richard's dream of moving house, and Phil had the image of doors unlocking one by one for Rich as he moved through that first door. After praying away the bed bugs, I absent mindedly went on to pray that Richard would 'rest-in-peace' :) to much laughter (I meant a good night sleep Rich!).
It was amazing when David prayed for Ros' job situation...remembering being prayed for by Ros earlier last year for the very same reasons, and having seen those prayers answered, David was able to pray the same prayers over Ros!
We thankyou Father, for our church community. That we can gather together before you and ask for your blessing on one another and the people on our hearts.
We look to your return Jesus! The return of The King!!
