“Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.” 1 Corinthians 12:12

As a Servant of Christ Jesus, I am reminded that the wound of one is the wound of all, the pain of one is the pain of all, and the loss of one is the loss of us all in the Body of Christ.

Today, I am deeply grieved by the events in the Church of God in the United States. With a burdened heart, I fall on my knees and lift my cry to the LORD

Prayer:

O LORD, have Mercy upon us, Your children. Do not deal with us according to what we deserve, but let Your Grace and Mercy speak on our behalf. Forgive those who rise against the Body of Christ, for they know not what they do. And just as Christ prayed on the cross, we too forgive them (Saint Luke chapter  23 verse 34).

For the departed:

LORD Jesus, receive the souls of Your servants who have fallen asleep in You.

For the wounded:

Stretch forth Your healing hand, Christ Jesus, and restore those who are lying on sickbeds.

For families and loved ones:

Strengthen, comfort, and uphold them by the Power of Your Spirit, that they may remain steadfast in You.

For the Nation of America:

We pray for a great spiritual revival. For long, Your prophets and messengers have declared it; and we believe that out of the ashes of this tragedy will rise a mighty move of God. The greater the martyrdom, the more abundant the saints, and the greater the revival. LORD, I wait with expectation to taste and see this revival that is coming to America in the mighty Name of Jesus.

In the Name of Christ Jesus we pray, Amen.
