pray

And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. – Jesus (Lk 11:9-10)

In the context of teaching his disciples to pray, Jesus gives us the Lord’s prayer. It is a prayer that reflects the mission of Jesus – that God’s name would be “hallowed” (revered) and His Kingdom would come. His Kingdom comes in the form of the church. In other words, Jesus encourages us to pray for the growth of the church, and accompanies this encouragement with fantastic promises to answer.

In light of this, would you join us each morning now through March (in your own quiet time with the Lord) in praying specifically:

  • That God would grow our gospel-influence in the city of Katy
  • That God would ignite our zeal for reaching the lost.
  • That God would unite us as a church behind our vision.

This prayer won’t take long. When you pray, pray expectantly, as God has already promised to answer. He answers not because you, or Cornerstone, is righteous, but because it is God’s mission.

Will you let us know you are joining us in prayer by putting your name in the comment box below? We want to see this list grow so that we might know we are not alone each morning when we pray these things. We will know that our voices are going up with your voices in the name of Jesus (which means by the authorization of Jesus) to God.

Until the stone (which is the church) becomes a mountain and fills the earth (Daniel 2:35),
