Christian Fellowship

WHAT AM I THANKFUL FOR?
Christian Fellowship

Father in Heaven, today, and every day, I am thankful for the Christian Fellowship in which God has blessed me and my family. Thank you LORD for my family of believers and I keep them in my prayers. I also pray for some, whom have not yet turned their lives over to You, that they will one day soon come to know the LORD and put God at the center of their lives.

Thank you Father for the fellowship with my church family, our paster, our worship leader, and all the congregation of our little church. Bless them whom bring their spiritual gifts together, as one in in the Body of Christ, to bear one another's burdens and care for one another. Bless them whom witness the GOOD NEWS of salvation through Jesus Christ, to our neighbors, wherever they may be on the street corner, in the grocery store, at the little league games, at the air port, and any place an opportunity exists to witness for our LORD and savior. Bless them for creating and providing a daily calendar of opportunities for prayer, praise, worship, and fellowship, and communion in the name of the LORD.

Thank you LORD for the fellowship with my friends and colleagues in the community, where many of them are of like mind in their beliefs in the saving grace and faith in the God, and salvation through Jesus Christ. I pray for those whom are lost, that they too will soon come to know salvation in Jesus. Please use us as lights to shine Your Word and Your Love, and use us as witnesses to unbelievers, to our neighbors, in our community, that each one of them may come to hear Your Word, and to know the LORD.

I pray in thanks for the fellowship with my Bible Study groups, where weekly breaking of bread, worship, praise, singing of psalms, and study in God's Holy Word is done in the presence of the LORD. Thank you Father for the opportunities to meet in person and bear one another's burdens and pray together. Bless them who take their faith into the community and do good works in Your name as You would have us love one another as self.

Thank you LORD for the fellowship with my Christian book clubs finding and reading books that edify in Your Holy Word, and honor You above all else. I pray we are led to books that will speak to our minds and hearts, as we long for a closer, more intimate walk with Jesus, and that we shine light on those books that are of this world.

Thank you Father for the fellowship we find in our online communities. May our words on the page be clear as we communicate with one another in text alone. May our messages to one another ring clear, even as missing out on tonality of voice and expression of facial and body language, which is so important in the art of effective communication. May our online Christian fellowship be rich in love for one another, second, only to that in which we love God above all else. LORD, please bless our brothers and sisters here, and may Jesus be the light of our lives.

May the power of the Holy Spirit continue to be at work in all places. May God's will be done, not ours, in all things, in His perfect timing. In Jesus' name. Amen.
