Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms.
Heavenly Father I pray all Your children walk in wisdom, for the days are evil. May we walk circumspectly not as fools, redeeming the time taking advantage of every opportunity to serve and spread the gospel, the good news the world needs to hear. May we not be unwise but understand what Your will is Lord. May Your church not be under the control of alcohol but be filled with the Holy Spirit. We thank You that we have been sealed by Your Spirit at our new birth and now continually filled moment by moment. Father, I pray You pour out Your Spirit today; first to convict people of their sin so they may repent and be born again and secondly to bring a refreshing on Your church to keep us strong and courageous. So, when we are suffering, we know how to pray as the Spirit will give us utterances and comfort. And when we are cheerful, we can sing making melodies that will praise You and encourage others to continue to fight the good fight of faith. May we continue to give thanks in all things, being built up as a spiritual house, a holy priesthood to bring You glory. May we be humble, submitting to one another in reverence to You Almighty God. Amen.
Ephesians 5:15-21, Acts 2:2 and Ephesians 6:19
