Father, we know that you see and understand every need and every situation we are dealing with as individuals and as a congregation. Help us to feel your compassion, love and restoration. Draw our hearts toward you and grant that we might point others to you, the loving God and King who redeems us from our sins. Please help us to see the value in evangelism and reaching out to the lost and deceived in this world. Restore our joy in the message of the gospel, not just on Sunday but throughout the week. Give us the courage to witness to others of your saving power. Thank you, Father, in Jesus Name. Amen.
