Weekly Prayer – June 25, 2025

Weekly Prayers for the Church Street Family

Week of June 25, 2025

Rev. Tim Best, including a prayer from the Cokesbury curriculum from VBS 2025

Gracious God, 

We often look for grand words, and poetic phrases to shape our prayers, yet we don’t need big words to share our love and ask for your help. Let us make the words of a Vacation Bible School prayer from this week a prayer for all of us. 

When I climb the highest mountain,
When I walk through deepest valley,
I will trust in God.
God will lead the way.

When I roam the darkest forest,
When I cross the widest ocean,
I will trust in God.
God will lead the way.

When I’m feeling lost and lonely,
When I need a hand to guide me,
I will trust in God.
God will lead the way.

Trusting in God we name celebrations and needs in our own lives, within our community, and the needs of all the world: 

Believing that God leads the way, we join our prayer with the prayer Jesus taught us, praying, 

We pray for…

• One who is beginning physical therapy; prayers for strength and healing
• A loved one who is in a rehab facility
• One who is praying for deliverance
• A husband/father recently diagnosed with cancer; prayers for healing and peace as treatments move forward.
• A member continues to heal but needs prayers for anxiety to diminish as she waits for results of tests and scans.
• A couple who celebrated their marriage this weekend; prayers for a good and happy life together!

We continue to pray for…

• Grandparents who are wearing lots of hats and caring for many people.
• Those who are missing their spouses after death; thankful for good memories, but the reality of being alone is tiring.
• A member receiving cancer treatment at Vanderbilt.
• One of our college students who is studying in Taiwan this summer.
