Lord, you search us, and you know us. Before we think or say a word, Lord, you already know what it will be.

You know us individually, but you also know us as a body. Before these past two years of pruning-before Chapel Hill Bible Church ever began-you saw this meeting, and you heard the prayers we bring to you tonight.

Supplications, Prayers, Intercessions, and Thanksgivings

fierce wrath; change your mind and do not bring disaster on your
people. Exodus 32:11,12

Paul wrote: I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and
thanksgivings be made for everyone. 1 Timothy 2:1

O God of the listening heart, hear our prayers this day. Place in our
hearts those for whom we would pray. Use us to answer the prayers of
others. Bless this day in our prayer to you. Amen. - Moravian Churchin North America Daily Texts

Easter is a celebration of certainties for Christians. We know that the resurrection of Jesus provides evidence that he can heal physical diseases – By his stripes we are healed. (Is. 53:5) We know that our eternal life is secured because of his rising from the dead.

But we come to God in prayer, oftentimes, with very real human hurts. We feel let down by our friends, or maybe we have been actually betrayed. This can take many forms in our lives: we can have expectations of people, and they don’t come through for us. We might count on our close friends to understand, to be gracious, to make time for us – and they don’t seem to get it, they are resentful, or they are busy.

We even come to God, sometimes, uncertain of whether he is really available to us. Is he listening? Does he care? Or has he, too, let us down?
