Prayer Focus: October 1-8

Pray over our nation and the current state of tension we find ourselves in. Pray for Christians to step boldly and lovingly into that tension. Pray for God to reveal ways that we can hold fast to His commands and teachings while also bringing the gospel of Jesus to a world that so desperately needs it. Help us to remember the grace poured out towards us as Jesus paid the ultimate price for our sins as we engage with people in the world who hold differing opinions and beliefs than we do.

Read Ephesians 4:25-32 as you reflect and pray on how we ought to interact with each other in the church as well as with those in the world.
