LWML Prayer Service 2013
“Joyful, Joyful!”
Authored by Reverend Larry A. Miller
2013 Prayer Service Theme Verse
Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray.
Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise.
Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church,
and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.
And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick,
and the Lord will raise him up.
And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another,
that you may be healed.
The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.
(James 5:13-16)
Goal Statement
The goal of this service is to provide opportunities for adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication to our gracious God for the joys and needs of His people, with the sure faith that He will answer according to His will. Participants will grow in their faith in Jesus Christ their Savior, as they hear, read, and believe His Word; and sing, praise, and pray to the Lord.
