Just as Abraham “believed God and He counted it to him as righteousness” (Genesis 15:6), so today as Jesus tells us in John 6:29 in response to the disciples wondering what they themselves could “do”, Jesus is very clear; “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.” Please pray for this posture of humility, through the grace and mercy of God, by the power and working of The Holy Spirit, toward this freely offered gift of Jesus, for all of us!
If you have a request you would like us to pray for and add to this list, please email prayer@chbcok.com.
