Gospel Renewal in Ft. Worth - Congregational Prayer (July)

On the first Sunday of each month we pray, as a family, for a particular aspect of the mission that God has called us to and for the people God is forming us into, by His grace. Then, throughout the month we commit to continual prayer on that particular topic. This month our prayer is for Gospel Renewal in Fort Worth.Gospel Renewal in Fort WorthThis Sunday, we will pray for gospel renewal in Fort Worth.

Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease. But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare. — Jeremiah 29:5-7

On Sunday we will pray for:

1. Boldness and love in evangelism: That we would repent of our indifference and fear, and love others well with bold conversations about the Good News that Jesus' grace extended to us on the cross saves.

2. The Gospel to saturate areas of Fort Worth where there is great need: And that this would happen through our sacrificial love and boldness on mission.

"But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf"

3. Faithfulness and fruitfulness of other churches in our city: Pray specifically for the church you came from or the church you "don't like".

4. The oppressed: The women in the sex industry, refugees, homeless, single moms, and the unborn.

5. That The Paradox Church would be a people that proclaim and display the glory and grace of God to a people in need of glory and grace.

Please begin to pray for these things now and that God would move mightily through our prayers to bring about these things in a way that blows us away.

Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. — Ephesians 3:20-21
