As a praying church, we continually uphold each other, our community, and our world, in prayer.
If you have a prayer request during the week, don’t hesitate to contact one of the Ruling Elders—Bob LeSuer, Amy Stearns, Jamie Stahl—or Pastor Benj (724-221-2595, pa****@*****ie.org). Be sure to indicate if you’d like us to keep it confidential, or if it should be shared. And, be sure to follow up and tell us how God answers our prayers!
March 2026 Monthly Prayer Focus
During the Season of Lent, we are given the opportunity to focus our daily attention on the examination of our personal spiritual condition. Such an examination will properly lead us to a comparison of where we are in our walk with God, and where we should be, as we follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Once we engage in this examination and comparison, we will very likely find ourselves seeking repentance for our failings as sin-bent human beings. And such repentance will then lead us to a consecration of our lives to devote ourselves to becoming more and more like Jesus.
This month, as you pray, please consider the following:
- Your personal spiritual condition. Ask yourself:
- Do I show the love of Jesus Christ to others around me?
- Am I committed to attending Worship services once a week?
- Do I have a daily devotional time to read the Bible and pray?
- Are my prayers routine, or do I pray from the heart with sincerity and passion?
- Did I neglect a friend or neighbor who needed my help, because it was not convenient or the right time for me?
- More than likely, you know what you should be doing. How does your examination of yourself measure up to what you know you should be doing?
- Repentance means to admit you are wrong and ask forgiveness, but it is just as important to turn 180 degrees and go in the proper direction, following the examples shown to us by Jesus.
- With a contrite heart and renewed dedication, ask God for strength and commit to doing whatever your heart has shown you that you need to do.
