Lord, Hear Our Prayers...

Pastor Duane VanderLaan pastorduane@draytonreformed.org 519.501.4521

Pray for those who have fears about their

health: aches and pains that won’t go away,

symptoms that are unexplained, treatments

that we hope will be effective.

Let us continue to be in prayer for the RCA

and for the continuing work of the Vision

2020 team as they enter the final months

of their work before General Synod this

coming June. Pray for God’s Spirit to lead

our denomination in His truth.

Pray for God to empower us to be a com-

munity of caring in our neighbourhood

and workplaces all in the name of Jesus

Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit, who

sustains us.

Pray for Herma D as she undergoes further

tests for the cause of a colon blockage. Pray

that Herma may know God’s loving and com-

forting presence, trusting in Him Whose pow-

er and glory is above all.

Pray for our elders, that God may give to

them His strength and wisdom, as they are

called to spiritual leadership for our church.

Pray that they may experience His joy as they

serve.

Pray that we, more than anything, would

know God deeply. Pray that God would en-

large our understanding, deepen our convic-

tions, and desire to serve Him for His glory.
