Congregational Prayer
Holy God and heavenly Father,
we are so grateful for the good news
that Jesus Christ completed his work on the cross on our behalf
and that through his extreme suffering we can find salvation.
Help us to be reminded of this as we go through our present difficulties
and look forward to the glorious day of Christ’s return,
when all things will be made new!
Give us strength and courage to persevere in our faith,
to reach out to you when we are troubled,
and to hold onto your gospel promises.
All these things we pray in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
