Praise the Lord through these song lyrics: SING TO THE LORD (Hillsong)
Righteous Ruler of the heavens Holy, holy, our God Sovereign Lord of all creation Holy, holy, our God Every tribe and tongue Lift your voice as one He is greatly to be praised Sing to the Lord, oh my soul Let the heavens shout for joy Great is our God Great is our God Nations come and bow before Him Holy, holy, our God Angels sing now and forever Holy, holy, our God Every tribe and tongue Lift your voice as one He is greatly to be praised Sing to the Lord, oh my soul Let the heavens shout for joy Great is our God Great is our God The heavens shall declare The glory of our great God The heavens shall declare The glory of our great God The heavens shall declare The glory of our great God
Psalm 139:23-24 Search me, O God, and know my heart; Test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Luke 15:7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
Ask the Spirit to search your heart and reveal any areas of
unconfessed sin. Acknowledge these to the Lord, turn from them, and thank Him for His forgiveness.
TIME OF MEDITATION
(4 MINUTES)
In its essence, meditation is simply the practice of listening to Gods voice as He speaks through His Word and prayer; ask God to speak to your heart.
Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding to learn your commands. Psalm 119:73
Sit quietly and wait for God to speak. Remember, our God is
a personal God and He speaks to His children.
continue to provide direction as he works on all the different aspects of Northside Christian Academy. Be with Scott as he works with our staff; give him wisdom in decisions, in encouraging, and in ministering to each. Give him understanding and compassion as he meets with individual members and as he prepares for his weekly LIFE Group meeting. Guide him in his leadership role within our Future Development projects. Lord, I pray that Scott will be salt and light to all the subcontractors who will be working at the property within these coming months.
Steve, Karen, Sarah, David, Kevin, Michael, Jennifer &
Nathan. I pray that Steve would be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding and that he would walk in a manner worthy of the Lord and that he would please You in all respects. Help him to bear fruit in every good work. I pray that Steve will increase in his knowledge of You. I pray that Steves children would be champions for Christ. That he and Karen would grow closer to one another and closer to You. Lord, I pray that Aaryn will come to know Christ at an early age. Equip Jennifer and Nathan to be godly parents to this precious little girl.
Mike and Sarah. Lord, we pray for Mike and Sarah as they
learn to be everything that You have called them to be to one another. I pray that their marriage would be fruitful and that Mike would be the primary discipler of his home. I pray that in everything, You would receive the glory. Father, give them a love for Your church and show them clearly how to express that love. I pray their love would grow for one another each and every day as they seek what it means to be more like Christ. I pray their marriage would be rooted and centered in You, and that they would live selflessly for one another.
David (Ford), Lori, Jeffrey, Megan, Cassidy, Sydney, Aimee,
and Eric. We praise You, Abba Father, that You sustain us and bless us, not because of our faithfulness but because of Yours! Cause each member of the Ford family to see You in a fresh way each day. We beg You to build a hunger in their household that creates an inescapable draw to Your Word. We pray Psalm 119:5-6,25b-27, That You would direct their ways to keep Your statues! So that they shall not be ashamed, when they have respect unto all Your commandments. Quicken the Ford family according to Your word. Teach them Your statutes. Make them to understand the way of Your precepts: so they shall talk of Your wondrous works. Cause each member to understand and follow the advice in 1Timothy 6:6-12 that would cause them to follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
Pastor J.O. Reed and Mary Duke. Lord please keep Pastor Joe healthy and bring fruitfulness in his ministry as he continues to serve You. Ronnie BullockFather, I pray for wisdom and discernment for Ronnie as he directs Mission Columbia. Be with him as he reaches out and helps those in need. Please keep him healthy and strong.

PRAY FOR OUR MINISTRIES TO PEOPLE IN ALL AGES AND STAGES OF LIFE
PRESCHOOL MINISTRYBless our faithful leadership
for their service to You and to our families. Bless their small group leadership time. Help them to feed themselves spiritually so that they are teaching from an overflow of Your presence in their life. Thank You for the volunteers and resources that You continue to provide. Please continue to guide us as we search for a new Preschool Director. Thank You for the blessings of teaching preschoolers about Jesus. Thank You for the gift of teaching children how to pray, how to love others because You love them. Help us to continue to be the church that provides a place where children are loved, they are safe, and they are accepted. Lord may the expression of our service bring glory to You. May children continue to be taught spiritual truths that will lay a strong foundation;
Season of ministry, we pray the plans ahead would be a reflection of Your best for each child and adult. Cause us to consistently and purposefully model a Biblical Worldview for each child as we move into the spring and summer and then into the new building. Lord, may the challenges each child will face not be due to our shortcomings, but from the fact that through trials You strengthen our faith and that any persecution they face will be a result of godliness. Protect and keep the children as they study Your Word, may it grow deep in them rooted and grounded in the springs of living water! May Your will be done not only on Sunday, but on each and every day that we go to school, play our sports, talk with our friends, and spend time with our family. May Your hand be on this generation and may they grow increasingly strong, building on the firm foundation of Your Word, the faithfulness of Your saints, and the fellowship of Your church body. Father, I pray for our rotational small groupsmay many kids come to understand You in a clear way, for Kids Worship may they come to know You as Savior and Lord, for Music and Missionsmay they serve You and others in a better way, and for AWANAmay they hide Your Word deep in their hearts. I pray for Upward and the spiritual impact that can be made in the fields and in the family, for Thirsty, Winshape C-3, KidzKamp and VBS that many many discover Your love for the first time, accept Jesus as Savior and begin a path of growth in their relationship with Him. Would You bring new people to our door so we might minister Your love to them? Lord, we dont ask that You bless our plans, but that our plans reflect Your will and accomplish Your purpose in us! We praise you for the childrens ministry team that sees the value that You place on children, and have answered the call to guide these little ones. We pray that you would hold this team in the palm of your hand, cause them to meditate daily in your word, so that your truths will spring up as a wellspring that overflows in conversations and lifestyles not only in the Northside hallways but in our places of business, homes, and places of play. We thank you that your mercies are new every morning and your grace abounds to abundantly cover the trials we all face.
MUSIC MINISTRY
Lord, I pray that You would move in peoples hearts to serve in the choir and orchestra so that it can grow and be a blessing to the congregation and glorify You. May people find ways to get plugged in to the Worship and Arts ministry and serve with their God given talents. I thank you, Lord, for answering our prayer to bring an audio engineer to serve at Northside. Bless him (Jon Foster) as he serves in this ministry. God, help David to effectively minister to the needs of those who sacrifice their time and talents each week. Bless everyone involved in the music ministry and all the time they put in to make each Sunday a beautiful time of worship! As the choir and instrumentalists begin preparing musically for the Night of Worship in June, may they, more importantly, prepare their hearts! Through this music may they come to understand Your love, mercy, grace and forgiveness to an even greater level so that they will be prepared to minister to others more affectively. Lord, as those who lead the rest of the congregation before Your throne, may they lead with integrity and character. Help them to use their talents to honor You and to give You their very best. May they never offer to You anything that cost them nothing (2 Samuel 24:24).
UTTERMOST PARTS
Lord, I pray for all the peoples who are crossing into Europe from the Middle East due to the unrest in their countries. I pray that they will have the opportunity to hear the name of Jesus and learn about his redeeming grace without persecution. Father, I pray for the people of Japan as they work to get the nuclear power plant under control. Make a way for Christian believers to be involved in ministering to those who lost loved ones and to those who are being displaced due to the radiation. I pray that many will come to know the saving grace of Jesus Christ in the midst of this disaster.
PASTORAL CARE MINISTRYFather, I thank you for the Senior Adults here at Northsidefor those who are actively involved in ministry and those who have given tirelessly in your service but who are now Homebound. I pray that Senior Adult Day on May 1st will be a meaningful time for them.
