Father,
Burn away the false comforts and set us free. You alone are the Comforter. Forgive us for finding comfort in so many things that are not You. Burn away the chains of old comfort. Make us desperate for You. Break our old ways and habits. Set us free!
in Jesus name, Amen.

During this time of prayer let us lift up the following:
(much of this is from your planning list)
Our church and its leadership, with great emphasis on the youth area. Continue to ask God to come in might and power with truth, love and boldness to proclaim His goodness!
The upcoming summer trips you've been invited on Firestarter's, GMO, Ecuador, and others.
John Dau, OSL, Graduations.
Your Sunday nights... Ask Him to lead them, ask Him to greatly cover the new ones who have accepted Him. Thank Him for allowing you the opportunity to serve Him.
John studying abroad.
Maturity in us and the Body of Christ.
Judy - Healing.
Our families and friends to know salvation!
Cover all the ones connected with us: The DiPastena's, The Brooks, The Puls, Hilbert, Stoner, Susan, Gina, Stacey, Mike T, LOJ, OSL, SAM's, Charos', Angie and Ramone, Burmoods, Denham's, Savitski's, Erica, Newhall, Kathy Day, Bob and Ann, Kim Johnson, Petrescue's, Chandler's, Richard, Carl and Grace, Carol Griffin, Sally and Pat, our church, etc... (what a list!)
Add whatever needs to be added...
Matthew 7:7-8
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
Jesus told us to ask, seek, and knock. That sounds rather persistent, doesn't it? If I ask and don't receive my answer I should begin to seek. When I am seeking, when I find a door that seems to be closed I should knock. That shows persistence.
Pray without ceasing....
