For our Bible Study

 Prayer for our Bible Study

offered by Genese Phillips, June 25, 2025

Dear God,

Thank you for this precious Bible study group. We are so grateful that we were able to meet tonight to learn more about your word.

Please help us seek a deeper meaning and understanding of the words found in the Bible. We pray that as we part today, we will reflect on the wisdom that was shared today. Help us to always remember the love Christ has for each of us.

Please watch over us this evening and all the days ahead. Help us feel Your loving embrace and guidance in everything that we do. Guide us to demonstrate Your love through our words and actions.  Help us to love one another and have forgiving hearts.

We graciously pray in Jesus' name.

Amen

Longing to know and react to Your Desires

Prayer of thanks and longing to know and react to Your desires:

offered by Yn. Susan Movsesian, June 18, 2025

Lord, we can always count on you to hear our prayers. This I was taught and learned from a very young age. In my family we have our parents, especially our father to thank for this, as we were immersed in our Armenian church, practicing compassion, living our faith and growing our community/family in God's presence.

A parent's sacrifices are many and their love endless. I imagine, not unlike the love our Heavenly Father shared with us through You, Lord, offering the ultimate sacrifice.

We recently celebrated parenting on Mother's Day followed by Father's Day, with much joy and appreciation for all the sacrifice's and love that go into parenting. To our parents/teachers, we give thanks.

The way You always hear our prayers, Lord, it is my hope that we hear Your prayers and desires. Singing praises and standing before You at the altar are valuable components in worshiping together, too, I've also come to know, through Your example that what we do to the least of our brothers, we do unto You. This, I strive to practice in my daily life...

Lord, hear my prayers and help me to see and reflect You in all things, and treat all your creation, with love and respect.

Walking in Your light.
Amen

Prayer to our Savior

 Prayer for our Savior

shared by Laura Artinian, June 4, 2025

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
as we navigate the unknowns of each day, we pray:
Fill our hearts with Your presence and peace that transcends all understanding.
Grant to us wisdom and discernment
in those important decisions we will make throughout the year.

Help us to seek Your will above our own
to trust in Your perfect plan for each of us.
May our choices align with Your purposes
to lead to fruitful outcomes.

Help us to trust more in Your sovereign plan
as we do not have all the answers.
Be our refuge in times of trouble to calm every storm
and remind us that it is to be You who are in control.
Heal every emotional wound

and restore joy and peace in our hearts.
Help us to release bitterness, hurt, and pain of the past,
and fill us with Your love and comfort.
Help us to be a blessing to others and surround us with people who inspire, encourage, and uplift.

For it is written, “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Amen. (Philippians 4:7)
