The Surprising Way to Grow Closer to God - A Nighttime Prayer


1x
“That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.” – 1 John 1:3-4

Please Pray:

Gracious Lord, I praise You for the privilege of being Your child. How I crave spending time with You! I want to kneel at Your feet, pour out my adoration to You, and lift up the desires of my heart to be fulfilled in You. Jesus, I need Your guidance and direction to faithfully worship You among Your people. Help me to take an active role in Your body, to find passion for serving You with other believers, and to draw closer to You through the fellowship of faith. Let me see You in the faces of other believers, and call me to build up Your kingdom in my community. May I join Your church in sharing Your love and good news to the world. In Your name, Jesus, Amen.
