One of the best ways to discover and experience God’s ways is by intentionally spending time in prayer. We invite you to use this monthly prayer guide to join with us as we intentionally ask God to move in many ways this month. 

“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”  (Philippians 4:4-7 NIV)

Pray for the workers who make deliveries (mail, food, packages, etc.). Pray for their protection and blessing.

Pray that God would increasingly fill your mind - that He'd be your first thought in the morning, your last thought at night, and your constant companion in the hours in between.

Praise God for allowing us to celebrate 47 years of Hope Church! Pray for wisdom, increased Kingdom impact, and unity as we head into the future.
