Prayer

As Jesus said, 'For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them' (Matthew 18:20).

Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift of the church, your people gathered together in your name. Forgive me for the times I've neglected fellowship with other believers. Help me to make regular gathering with your church a priority, that I may be strengthened, encouraged, and spurred on toward love and good deeds. In Jesus' name, Amen.
