This week at the All Shepherds’ Meeting there will be a nomination vote for ordained deacon candidates. Once the nomination vote is complete and the candidates are confirmed, the members’ vote will be held on 29 November. (Members are those who belong to a house church, have been baptised and have completed Living Life.) Please pray for the election of our ordained deacons with the prayer below.
Heavenly Father, we pray for the election of the ordained deacons of Sydney Crystal Church. Lead this election not by human will, but by the will of the Lord, who is the head of the church. May those chosen be not the people we favour in our own thoughts and hearts, but those who, though imperfect, are pleasing in Your sight; people who treasure this office yet do not regard it as success or honour.
May servants be chosen who are full of the Spirit and wisdom for building the church You desire, and who are easy for You to use. May workers be chosen who seek and follow Your will before their own thoughts and feelings, stay faithful to the church to the end, know how to devote their finances and time, live by prayer and the Word, manage their families well, and serve humbly.
Grant those elected bold faith and the blessings of heaven and earth, so that they may be respected by many. Give wisdom to the Election Committee so that the process may be gracious and free of dispute, and when it is all done, may the whole church rejoice together over the elected deacons and give glory to the Lord. We pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
