Praying Past Our Needs

people according to their needs."
Recently these words struck me like a bolt of lightning. Has overactive neediness worked its
way into the prayer life of our church? Have we turned our prayer time into an increasingly sad
recitation of the owes and worries of the congregation? At worship we pray for , "all people
according to their needs" almost exclusively. For years we have completely overlooked the
balanced approach suggested in our worship book: let us pray for the "whole people of God."
Aren't we supposed to thank God for what is good, too? When you come to church this week,
please take a moment to fill out a prayer request form in the pew rack in front of you. I, along
with the prayer ministry team, would like to include you in our prayers.
