Elder Conferenc

Greetings Brothers and Sisters,

For the next few weeks, we will be praying specifically for the Elder Conference coming up during the first full week in August. What will we be praying? Of course, you should pray as the Holy Spirit prompts you. However, if you'd like some guidance, I would encourage you to pray through the words of Proverbs 2:1-9 (see below). Turn these verses into a prayer for the Elder Body and specifically for your Elder. As we collectively come before the LORD with these prayers, He will no doubt hear and honor our requests according to His will. Perhaps consider making Proverbs 2:1-9 your devotional reading and prayer focus for the next few Fridays! May God bless you! May we all be prayerful!!

Pro 2:1-9 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; (2) So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; (3) Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; (4) If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; (5) Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. (6) For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. (7) He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. (8) He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. (9) Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
