We love You Lord for your mercies never fails us. From the moment we are born until the day
we are called home to heaven we have been held in Your hands. Even now you have shown us
grace by allowing us to fulfill what we were created for, to glorify You and to enjoy You through
today¡¯s worship. Thank You, Father, for being so faithful to us throughout all of our lives,
particularly to the first-generation immigrants. You have blessed the first generation by setting
up this church to help them through their many struggles. You have created a fellowship within
this church so they can adapt and bear through the difficulties of immigrant life. We the
children of the first generation have been blessed and humbled by their sacrifice and love. May
you continue to bless them with Godly peace knowing our generation will carry on and
continue the good fight for the Gospel.
With that in mind we lift up to you our children as they face a world that is confrontational to
our Christian beliefs. For as Isaiah has warned we live in a world where good is considered evil
and evil is considered good. Our Children are growing up in a difficult environment. They have a
difficult time distinguishing between right from wrong and are filled with fear in trying to
navigate this upside-down world. Father God. Have mercy upon the upcoming generation for
they are lost. Do not allow them to be devoured by the Evil one but please rescue them from their
demise. Our deepest hope is for our children will come to know You as their Lord and Savior so
please open their eyes to see and open their ears to hear the Truth of the Gospel. Break their
pride and cause their hearts to be open.
As we send our children to SFC national conference, help all those participating to use the time
for internal reflection. Help them to learn more about who you are, who they are, and who You
desire for them to be. Help them to lay down their fears and trepidations at Your feet and chip
away at their hardened hearts and cause a transformation within them. We pray the Holy Spirit
will regenerate their hearts and renew their minds so they may grow to be Men of God and
Woman of God.
As we are about to receive Your word in today¡¯s sermon, please filled Pastor Kang with Your
Spirit as he humbles himself in Your presence. Help us to leave behind the worries and concerns
of this world and focus on our worship to you. In our worship, help us to find peace by focusing
on you with our mind, heart and soul. For when difficulties come, peace is not found in our
petitions but is found in our worship to you and knowing our names are written in the book of
life in Heaven above. So, Father, reveal yourself to us now and meet us here once more. We pray
that you will send forth your power and remind us of the gift of Jesus Christ and the new life we
have in Him. Through the teaching of Pastor Kang, help us to know Jesus Christ in a more
intimate way. We ask you oh Holy Spirit that you anoint today¡¯s sermon, the music of the choir,
the prayers of your people, and the ears of those who will listen. Send your Holy Spirit and fill
us, cleanse us, mold us and heal us.
In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
