Sunday Prayer Requests

A beautiful Old Testament verse begins our new week.... and the gift that Solomon requests is one that can resound in today's current chaos and clutter of voices: 

First Kings 3:5, 7-12

5 At Gibeon Yahweh appeared to Solomon in a dream during the night. God said, 'Ask what you would like me to give you.'

7 Now, Yahweh my God, you have made your servant king in succession to David my father. But I am a very young man, unskilled in leadership.

8 And here is your servant, surrounded with your people whom you have chosen, a people so numerous that its number cannot be counted or reckoned.

9 So give your servant a heart to understand how to govern your people, how to discern between good and evil, for how could one otherwise govern such a great people as yours?'

10 It pleased Yahweh that Solomon should have asked for this.

11 'Since you have asked for this,' God said, 'and not asked for long life for yourself or riches or the lives of your enemies but have asked for a discerning judgement for yourself,

12 here and now I do what you ask. I give you a heart wise and shrewd as no one has had before and no one will have after you.

From the Seekers: 

In times of division and trouble, we look to God's word and we realize that times of division and trouble have plagued mankind from the days of Cain and Abel... and that our free will is ours to choose good or evil... and to discern, as Solomon asked for discernment.

The Seekers are praying for you today, and every day, wanting your lives to be joyous and fruitful in the arms of our Savior. God is good!

You can leave prayer requests below or keep them in the corners of your heart... either way, we are praying for you.
