"O God Our Father" - 20 August 2017

O God our Father, we entreat you to make us a holy, joy-filled people in our homes, work, and our various networks of friends. May those who are married be free of strife, pettiness, and fear; may those who are single be chaste and holy, enjoying you in their God-ward singleness; may the children grow stronger in grace and wisdom, loving you all their days while obeying and honoring their parents; and may the elderly flourish in God-given strength, patience, and sound-mindedness. Please form us as a church that is instrumental in drawing the straying back to Christ and his church, and bringing unbelievers to be born again by trusting in your Son Jesus Christ. Also, we ask you to preserve all who are traveling to Heritage this week to join with us in our 40 th Anniversary Celebration. We pray for your church in all realms and regions, along with these churches in the greater OKC area; Destiny Christian Center; Discovery Assembly of God; El Tabernacle Defe; and Faith Tabernacle.
