This week, we pray in agreement that we will approach news and current events in the spirit of faith, not fear!
Topics to pray over:
- For peace and love as family and friends get together over the holidays
- That Americans keep their focus on Jesus, the true reason for the season.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, as we gather together during Christmas and leading into New Year’s, we come before you THANKFUL for our families. We pray that our time together is rich in love and grace, and that peace seasons our conversation. Give us the courage to put aside our differences and keep strife from gaining a foothold.
Lord, there are many stories in the news right now, so if issues come up, help us to talk about them in a way that glorifies You and gives honor to You. We make the choice to fix our thoughts on what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely and admirable. And if we disagree, remind us to be humble and gentle and patient, bearing with one another in love.
Jesus is the reason we are together celebrating this season! Because God sent us Jesus as His Gift, we have HOPE and JOY all year round. Therefore, we invite Your presence, Lord, into the middle of all our festivities. Your love, Father, is the greatest gift we have—and the greatest gift we could give.
We as the FlashPoint Army agree together—in the Name of Jesus!
