We invite you to spend some time in prayer. Take a moment to quiet yourself before God and share your thoughts and feelings with him. If you are with others, pray out loud together. If you are alone, know that you are not alone--the body of Christ is praying with you. 

Begin by praying the opening prayer. Below that are listed some suggestions for free prayer. Finally, close with the Lord's Prayer and the final prayer.

Lord, we find our safety in you. You are our rock, to whom we can always go. You are our hope and we place our confidence in you. Give us strength to trust in you and to praise you. May we experience the joy of your salvation and the hope of resurrection.

Free Prayer:

• for our leaders and decision makers

• for medical professionals

• for the vulnerable

• for uncertainty

• for the body of Christ

• for resurrection hope and joy

• for sharing the good news of the living Jesus

The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come,

your will be done,

    on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts,

    as we also have forgiven our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,

    but deliver us from the evil one.

Lord God, we pray that our capacity to know and experience life might be magnified in Christ. By your grace set the eyes of our hearts on Jesus, giving us a widened imagination to see everything from your perspective, to live in faith, and to love our Savior. Amen.

中文讲道经文

罗马书 一章：1-7节

耶稣基督的仆人保罗，奉召为使徒，特派传神的福音。

这福音是神从前藉众先知在圣经上所应许的，

论到他儿子─我主耶稣基督。按肉体说，是从大卫后裔生的；

按圣善的灵说，因从死里复活，以大能显明是神的儿子。

我们从他受了恩惠并使徒的职分，在万国之中叫人为他的名信服真道；

其中也有你们这蒙召属耶稣基督的人。

我写信给你们在罗马、为神所爱、奉召作圣徒的众人。愿恩惠、平安从我们的父神并主耶稣基督归与你们！
