Father, in a world where it is so easy to try to figure things out on our own, we confess that we are not wise enough to direct our own steps. We need you! Thank you for the wisdom that you have given to us! We seek you today. Lord, we thank you in advance for helping any unbelief that may lie in our hearts, so that we may wholeheartedly trust you and your Word. In Jesus’ name, amen!

“Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.” Psalm 119:105

Today we lift up all of those you have called to be part of City Hills. We pray that their hearts would be prepared and that you, by your Holy Spirit, would draw them so that lives can be changed for eternity. Thank you Father for all of those that you have called to be part of City Hills for this season. Help us to love, care for, and serve one another.  Help us to bring together our gifts, talents, and abilities to make a difference in the lives of people across our city and beyond.  Thank you for choosing us to be part of your unstoppable church! In Jesus Name, Amen.

(Acts 2:42-47) All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals, and to prayer…. And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had…They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.

Heavenly Father, today we pray that you would give us strength to forgive anyone who has hurt us.  We release all bitterness that would keep us from moving forward into the future that you have for us.  We do not diminish what they did to us, we simply choose to put people in Your hands.  We know we hurt You Lord, but you still forgave us.  Help us to forgive others because we have been forgiven by God.  We are done with holding grudges! We give all of our cares and worries to you, God, because you care for us.  In Jesus Name! 

Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior.  Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. Ephesians 4:31-32

Lord, we thank You that You took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses on the Cross!  You are the Lord who heals all sickness and disease.  We command that all sickness and disease bow to the Name of the Lord and that healing could come in Jesus’ Name.

Isaiah 53:4-5 Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.  But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

Lord, we pray that you would give us the courage to be risk-takers for Your Kingdom.  Help us to step out of the boat like Peter and be a water-walker instead of playing it safe like the other disciples and being a boat-talker.  Lord Jesus, help us to follow you completely individually and collectively as a church.  Speak to us and we will follow!  Do unimaginable things in the City of Knoxville and the region of East Tennessee and beyond!  We want you to do the impossible among us.  Help me to take a risk individually today!  In Jesus Name.

“Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. -Matthew 14:29

Thank you Lord for the Men and Women that serve in uniform to make our city a better place. Thank you that when everyone else is running away from a tragedy, they are running towards it to help. We pray your blessing on our local law enforcement, fire fighters, and paramedics. We pray that you would protect them as they serve the people of Knoxville. In Jesus Name.

Father, today we lift up the elderly in our city. Give them strength! We recognize how valuable each and every person is! Help us to be a church that honors the elderly. Help us to be a blessing today.  
Stand up in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly and revere your God. I am the LORD. Leviticus 19:32

“Today we honor the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. We solute you.

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. -John 15:13.

Thank you, Lord, that you call many to minister your Word and build your Church in our city. Today we lift up every new and emerging ministry in Knoxville. We pray for unity between the churches.  Help us to work together to continue to build your kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.  In Jesus Name. 

John 17:21 I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one–as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.
