Shepastor: “What Are Your Prayers for this Next Decade?”

9 Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments. Deuteronomy 7:9, NIV

On Sunday, our congregation reflected upon God’s faithfulness to each of us over the last ten years. In preparation for crossing over into 2020 we took a moment to prayerfully jot down specific things we are believing God for in this new decade. As peaceful and meditative music played in the background, members from the eldest to the youngest took time to contemplate what the next years would bring. By faith, we wrote down our hopes, dreams and visions and privately presented them before the Lord. The instructions were given to take our list home and put it in a place where we can go back and read it over from time to time. Our faith is strengthened as we look at God’s answers to our prayers over the years!

As you enter this next decade, by faith, I encourage you to do the same. What are you believing God for in the next ten years? What are you asking God to change? From what do you or others need deliverance? What courage do you need to walk into your new season? What trials or challenges do you need the strength to overcome? What hopes do you have for your community, Nation and world?

Write it down. Put a date on it. Periodically check your list and see all that God has done. Allow room for surprises! May your faith be strengthened!

Happy New Year Shepastor Family! I stand in agreement with you for God’s best for your life!

In Faith, Hope and Perseverance,
Pastor Chris
