GOD CARES

Conley's is a praying church!  

We believe that God hears and answers prayer; therefore, we put prayer at the center of our church life--prayer inspires our mission, precedes our decisions, guides our actions, and is offered in praise and thanksgiving for all that God has done, all that God is doing, and all that God will do in the life of our congregation.

Prayer Focus for December & Advent

 

The Promise of His Coming – Awakening Hope

Advent is a sacred time of waiting, not an empty waiting, but one filled with promise, preparation, and hope. It is the season when we turn our hearts toward the coming of Jesus, remembering that He has come, that He still comes to us now, and that He will come again. Each year, the Church invites us to enter this season not as a routine but as a renewal, a chance to make room again for the presence of God in our everyday lives. During this Advent season, I ask for guidance in preparing my heart for Christ. Help me clear away any distractions so that I may focus on the hope and joy you bring. Let me be mindful of Your love and mercy as I await His arrival, both as a baby in Bethlehem and as a Savior in my life. May this time of waiting bring renewal to my spirit and fill me with peace.

Father God, every word in scripture points to the gift of Hope that we have because of Christ Jesus. The Christmas story wasn’t the beginning of that message of Hope because the Old Testament is full of the glimpses of your plan to redeem your people and restore them into a relationship with you, but we are able to truly begin to see and understand just how great your love for us is when we read the story of Jesus’ birth in scripture.

Help us to see that you are with us. Nothing is too difficult, too messy, or too dirty for you. Jesus came to give us the gift of eternal life through the salvation that only you, our Heavenly Father, can give when we believe in your Son, repent of our sins, and confess Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

On that first Christmas, you gave us the gift of hope wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger. Thank you, Father, for your immeasurable gift.

 

In Jesus precious name we pray.

Amen.
