Prayer Builders

Proverbs 16:13(KJV): 13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.

"Verse 13 tell us that from the king's perspective, he too, appreciates righteous people around him. A good king or leader delights in the kind and righteous words that he hears from his subjects, and he loves those who speak correctly. Leaders favor those who speak good words of wisdom. These are the kind of people who will be chosen to help them rule. Those who rebel against the king's authority will bring the king's wrath against themselves."  Bible.com

The coming week please pray for the following:
• A passion for worship
• A Spirit-filled congregation
• Our pastors: Dr. Daniel and Pastor John
• Our staff, especially: Beth Underwood and JoAnn Latta

“Heavenly Father, help me to share your love with those around me. Amen.”
