Prayer Point
Pray that God would draw and we would welcome far-from-God people in our church.
Today, let's remember our salvation story. And let's pray for God to change the stories of people in our community and the world through the ministry of Enon Baptist Church. Read Psalm 40:1-3 aloud, then use the reflection and prayer prompts below to guide your time of prayer.
Psalm 40:1–3
[1] I waited patiently for the LORD;
he inclined to me and heard my cry.
[2] He drew me up from the pit of destruction,
out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
making my steps secure.
[3] He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
and put their trust in the LORD. (ESV)

- Reflect: Think back to the time you first called upon the Lord? What was the state of your soul at that time?
- Pray: Thank God for listening to you when you cried out to Him.
- Reflect: Since then, how has your life been different?
- Pray: Praise the Lord for setting your feet upon a rock. Thank Him for his kindness.
- Reflect: Do you know someone who is living in a pit of destruction? Maybe they have no idea of the danger they are in.
- Pray: Ask God to help them cry out to Him for mercy. Pray for God to step in and change their story.
- Pray: Ask God to make Enon into the kind of church where people regularly encounter God's saving and transforming power. Pray that far-from-God people in our community would come to know Him through the faithful witness of ordinary believers.
