Pray for the Church
Praise God for being our good Shepherd. Ask Him to continue to grow your faith and trust in Him. Pray for His help to endure whatever trouble you are facing. Pray for God to bring about His goodness and mercy in and through your life.
Pray for the City
This week we are praying for Widows First, a Christian nonprofit ministry designed to help relieve burdens from widows while sharing the gospel and demonstrating God’s unconditional love. There are 10,000 widows in Shelby County and 46,000 in Jefferson County. Widows First serves widows by performing general maintenance and home repair services free of charge. This ministry is led by Brook Hills attenders, Mike and Lynn Patterson. We are also praying for Shades Mountain Independent Church and Pastor Rick Goertzen.
DAY 1: Pray for the spiritual and physical wellbeing of those served by Widows First. Pray they will respond in faith to the demonstration and declaration of the Gospel.
DAY 2: Pray for the Widows First staff and volunteers as they minister to widows, widowers, elderly couples, and their families. Pray they would draw strength from the Lord as they sow spiritual seeds and wait for the harvest.
DAY 3: Pray for the widows in financial need, specifically for the widow of four years who recently suffered much loss due to a house fire.
DAY 4: Pray for the widows facing poor health conditions, specifically for the elderly widow with dementia who is in need of full-time care.
DAY 5: Pray for the widows who have been left to carry heavy burdens of responsibility on their own, specifically the young widow raising a special needs child and the new mother whose husband passed away just before she gave birth.
DAY 6: Pray for widows whose hearts have been hardened by their difficult circumstances. Pray for the Lord to draw them near and the Holy Spirit to soften their hearts.

The moon and stars they wept
The morning sun was dead
The Savior of the world was fallen
His body on the cross
His blood poured out for us
The weight of every curse upon Him

One final breath He gave
As heaven looked away
The Son of God was laid in darkness
A battle in the grave
The war on death was waged
The power of hell forever broken

The ground began to shake
The stone was rolled away
His perfect love could not be overcome
Now death where is your sting
Our resurrected King has rendered you defeated
Chorus
Now forever He is glorified
Forever He is lifted high
And forever He is risen
He is alive and He is alive
Bridge
We sing hallelujah we sing hallelujah
We sing hallelujah the Lamb has overcome
