Lord, hear our prayers!

“You’re familiar with the old written law, ‘Love your friend,’ and its unwritten companion, ‘Hate your enemy.’ I’m
challenging that. I’m telling you to love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer, for then you are working out of your true selves, your
God-created selves. This is what God does. He gives his best—the sun to warm and the rain to nourish—to everyone, regardless: the good and bad, the nice and nasty. If all you do is love the lovable, do you expect a bonus? Anybody can do that. If you simply say hello to those who greet you, do you expect a medal? Any run-of-the-mill sinner does that."
- JESUS  (Matthew 5:43-47 MSG)

Lord Jesus, You call us “Friend,” and I believe You mean what You say. So, Friend to friend, things seem to be getting harder and uglier. We seem to be to be so focused on ourselves and crueler to those who have a different opinion or way of life. We seem to want to be right more than we want to be merciful, or forgiving, or simply kind.

Our hope IS You – and we mean what we say, as best as we are able. Everything good in us is from You and began in You. So, Lord of Hosts, speak to us again as You did in Zechariah. Ask us again if what what seems impossible to us, should seem impossible to You. Ask us so we take our eyes of ourselves and stop relying on worldly wisdom. Ask us until we remember that nothing is impossible for You. Holy Spirit, raise up our answers in ways that remind us of the Truth we know; answers that begin to change us from the inside out.

NOTHING is impossible with You. You are doing a new thing in our midst, even when things seem harder, uglier, even impossible to change. You have never left us. You will never forsake us. Give us eyes to see and courage to join You in Your renewing and redeeming work in our here and now.

Please Lord Jesus, please Dear Friend, help us to live the lives You told us are possible in a living friendship together:

to do justice,

and to love mercy,

and to walk humbly with our God.

Here, on THIS HOLY GROUND, our prayer wall is...

- a sacred space where all are welcome to share their prayer requests
- a holy (distinct/set apart) place to pray with and for others
- a wilderness place of waiting, seeking, listening, and worshipping the Lord
- a safe refuge for restoration in Christ for the flourishing of souls

Here in this place God meets with us and kindles the consuming fire of eternal friendship.
