    May 13, 2018 Prayers

    Oh, how the Psalmist longed to worship in the house of God! Some circumstance kept him away for some time and he was even envious of the birds, who nested near his place of worship!

    He wrote, “How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young – a place near your altar, O Lord Almighty, my King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you (Ps. 84).

    God grant us the same fervor to regularly worship him and receive the rich blessings of his grace through Word and Sacrament!

     

    Puerto Rico – Gracious God, today we ask your blessing upon the new disaster response coordinator being called to serve and work with the pastors of the Confessional Evangelical Lutheran Church of Puerto Rico. May this pastor bring the comfort of the gospel to the people of this hurricane-devastated island as he helps identify and prioritize specific needs, plans construction and repair projects, and coordinates volunteer efforts. Bless also his efforts in overseeing the continuing theological training for two men whose training was interrupted by Hurricane Maria last fall. May all he does be done to your praise and to the glory of your name. Amen.

  • 2018 National Day of Prayer (67th) – May 3 @ 8:30 am

    The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance (67th) held on the first Thursday of May. Our Founding Fathers and Presidents through the years have urged the American people to seek God’s help during difficult times.

    Our God invites us to pray.

    • ACTS – Adoration (worship); Confession (sins); Thanks (awareness); Supplications (petitions or requests)
    • Whatever is on our mind or heart (a heart to heart talk with God)
    • Any – where, how, who, what, time…
    • Lord’s Prayer is predominantly spiritual – our relationship with the heavenly Father – the Trinity through the Son of God who became one with us.

    ADORATION – Our Dear Heavenly Father, while we come to You in complete humility, we also come to You with boldness in the authoritative name of Your One and Only Son, Jesus Christ, who is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. In Jesus’ name, fill us now with Your Holy Spirit and lead us as we pray in Jesus’ name for America.

    CONFESSION – Oh God, we are burdened for our nation today. Turn us from the sins that we have committed against your Word and your Name. Turn us away from our contentious words and ways toward one another that has led us to division and polarization. Turn us away from our disrespect and lack of dignity toward each other, and away from our continual devaluation of all human life from the womb until death in this world. We also turn away from and refuse to participate in skepticism, criticism, and cynicism in our nation. We turn away from anything that divides us, and we run toward the gospel of Jesus Christ that is the only thing that has the power to unite us together.

    Historical Notes:

    • 1775– 242 years ago The First Continental Congress called for a National Day of Prayer asking the colonies to pray for wisdom in forming a new nation.
    • 1863-154 years ago President Lincoln’s proclaimed a day of “humiliation, fasting and prayer” in 1863 as our country struggled through the Civil War.
    • 1952, 65 years ago a joint resolution by Congress, signed by President Truman, declared an annual national day of prayer.
    • 1988, 29 years ago a law was amended and signed by President Reagan, permanently setting the day as the first Thursday of May.
    • Each year the president signs a proclamation encouraging all Americans to pray on this day. (1952 to present). These proclamations include an emphasis on praying for those who serve, or have served our country in the armed forces and for peace.

    UNITY of PURPOSE and COMMITMENT:  Lord, in this critical hour in our nation, we pray for unity in America. Only You can bring unity, harmony, and oneness in America. As your Word calls us in Ephesians 4:3, “Making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace”, we ask You to empower us to make every effort to live in unity, to call for unity, and to forward unity in America continually.

    Today we will give thanks to God and ask for His guidance, mercy, and protection for our nation and its people.  What a privilege it is to take all our prayers to God.

    GENERAL PRAYERS:

    GOVERNMENT: Guide and direct the leaders of our country, those who serve our state, such as our governor, senators and assembly persons, as well as those who serve in our local communities: including Grafton, Cedarburg, Port Washington, Saukville, Fredonia, Belgium, Mequon, Milwaukee and West Bend.  Help our leaders to seek Your will as they lead and make decisions. May our president and national government leaders make good decisions for the well-being of all citizens in our country. Thank You for the freedom we enjoy as Americans where we as Christian people can peacefully tell others about You as our Savior and the only way to heaven. Thank you for all the blessings we receive from our government, including our policemen, firemen, and others who serve us in times of emergency and in times of peace. In Jesus name, Amen. (more…)

  • Advice from a Mission Counselor – Spring Sunday Bible Study

    Advice from a Mission Counselor – Spring Sunday Bible Study

    Anyone who goes to church expecting to meet a group of perfect, loving people is in for a surprise. Paul knew any Christian, especially a young pastor like Timothy, could be bitterly disappointed, frustrated and burned out from the pettiness, selfishness and sinfulness of the people in his church. So he reminded his young friend — and us — of the enormous transition God worked in his own life, taking him from being a murderer of Christians, to a powerful apostle and missionary.

    Here’s solid counsel from the man chosen and instructed by Jesus himself to be a missionary.

    Child care will be provided for ages 0-3. Sunday School is available for all other ages.

    SENIOR BIBLE STUDY – Selected Psalms  

    The themes and topics of the book of Psalms seems endless. For deliverance from enemies, for refuge and peace, when my soul is in anguish, for comfort during crisis, for assurance of God’s mercy, when lonely, when death looms, for the love of God’s word and worship, praise and thanksgiving, the promised Savior… During this study we will find comfort, encouragement and joy as we read and ponder selected Psalms.  The class will be taught by Staff Minister Hering in the Church Office Classroom on Tuesdays at 10:30 am, now through May 22nd.

    April 22, 2018 Prayers

     

    “Now then, my children, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways.” Proverbs 8:32

    Countless times we have said or heard the words, “Listen to me.” With these words the speakers are indicating they want to say something that, in their opinion, we need to hear.

    We also know that sometimes the information is heeded, and other times it falls on deaf ears. In Proverbs 8:22, it is God’s wisdom admonishing us to listen and walk in God’s ways and to be prepared to receive God’s blessings. We can enjoy the happiness of knowing we live in the loving, forgiving hands of the almighty God.

    Jesus also tells us to listen …

    “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” (Luke 11:28b)

    Because Jesus gave His life for us, paid for our sins on the cross, and rose again from the dead, we will one day be with Him in heaven. In Christ we have the words of eternal life. Now that’s a message worth listening to! (more…)
