Prayer
Petition
Thanksgiving
Ask
Notice Prayer and Petition are two different things here. Should we petition those in power as well as pray to God? Should we thank those that give us stuff as well as God? Should we ask people as well as God?
Jesus said "Love the Lord your God with all your heart soul and mind and love your neighbour as much as you love yourself". This implies a people and God relationship!
Pray, yes! Petition, yes! Give thanks, yes! Ask, yes!
Father, I want a church where everyone feels like they're a part of the body and each person feels like they're both giving and receiving within the body of Christ. I want a church where it doesn't matter how long you've been around; every one feels blessed to be a part of the body of Christ. Thanks Lord for the fellowship You've given to date.
