Prayer Targets - June 2024

UCFM Prayer Ministry  |  Submit a Prayer Request

My God:
Lord, we stand in need of your new mercies in this day.  We lift our hands to you as evidence of our complete surrender unto your will.  Precious Lord take our hand, lead us onward and give us the ability to stand for what’s right by your standards. We open our mind so that you may renew our conscious and subconscious for great er clarity and the opportunity to possess the Mind of Christ.  Today, Lord we present our body as a living sacrifice unto you, and we open our heart to receive a measure of your grace to display your unyielding love unto others that may have never experienced a spiritual touch from you. Lord, we stand in great expectations to receive all that our life is destined to be in this season and in the seasons to come.
Amen
