Father,
You have brought us here to Fort Thomas, all of us. You have brought us together in order that we might display the unity of the Trinity, the unity you have had since before the world was made.
We pray that your presence would be powerfully among us tonight. Thank you so much for guiding us here, Lord. Thank you for all of your patience, your grace, and your kindness, which leads us to the repentance of our own ways. God, you said that our thoughts are not your thoughts, and neither are our ways your ways; but we pray that tonight, you would show us the way, the perfect and pure road, which will lead our small community to be a light on the mountain, shining your goodness and love into the dark valleys where men have turned to their own ways.
Father, we acknowledge that we have tried to follow you on our own terms. At times, we’ve wanted to go back to the way life was. At other times, we’ve been scared of what following you will require. We constantly battle the best you have, with what we think is best. Father, help us to return our hearts and place them at your feet.
Father, we pray in Jesus’ name that you would bind us together under one banner, one king and one vision. Lord, have your way with us and lead us on the ancient path, the everlasting path along the river of life, which flows from your holy mountain, and through our hearts.
Your Church in Fort Thomas
