During the 40 days of Lent we invite you to be a praying partner with other members and friends of Tabernacle Baptist Church.

Pray that we may be a faith community that is Growing Together Through Grace.

Pray that you will be open to God and the work of the Holy Spirit in your life.

Listen to the voice of God inviting you into a closer relationship with your Savior.

Share with someone else the story of God's grace in your life.

May God's blessings rest upon you as you journey through this lenten season.

Growing Together Through Grace

Lenten Prayer Guidelines

Visualize yourself in God’s presence – perhaps kneeling with Jesus in the Garden

Praying the Psalms

         Read a Psalm selection

         Read it again, out loud

         Read it a third time – as a prayer

         Choose one verse or phrase that speaks to you.  Write it down and keep it with you throughout the day.  Repeat the verse or phrase again as you go to bed.

Visualize yourself in the church sanctuary.

         Pray for yourself.  Ask God to reveal the special grace you need today.

         Who do you see around you?  Do you know of a special need someone may have?  Lift that need to God. 

         Think of those that may not be able to attend worship.  Reflect on how you might share God’s grace with one of these individuals or families.

Suggested Psalm Readings

Psalm 51:1-2               Seek Cleansing

         Pray for insight to recognize whatever may prevent you from experiencing the fullness of God’s grace.

Psalm 32:1-2, 5           Receive Forgiveness

         Pray for the grace to receive God’s gift of forgiveness.

Psalm 121                    Experience Watchcare

         Pray for a greater awareness of God’s presence with you.

Psalm 95:1-7               Sing for Joy

         What has God graced you with that puts a song of joy in your heart?  Can you share that joy with another person?

Psalm 130:5-6             Wait in Hope

         As you wait in hope and expectation, what is the grace that you pray for yourself?  for our church?
