NBA Prayers 9th August 2020

A great number of believers suffer from poor self esteem. Comparing themselves to others, who have glowing testimonies, they argue that God could never use them for their inadequacies. Consolation is found in the fact that they at least do not suffer from pride.
This is far from a realistic image however, and can do great harm, whilst preventing us from reaching our full potential. One of my favourite scenes from Bunyan's 'Pilgrim's Progress' is that in which the travellers are in a room packed with wondrous clothing, Dressing themselves in the finery, they admire one another. Due to the fact that there are no mirrors, they are unable to see how wonderful they themselves appear.
We are clothed in Christ and bear his fragrance. We may not recognise this in ourselves, but be assured that when we grasp this fact our communities cannot fail so see the saviour's grace in us.

Give thanks for;

• our new building and the development of our website
• the Digital Family Prayer Adventure Map and other resources
• our leadership team and their initiatives

Please pray;

• 
  
• that we may reflect God's love to the people of Gateshead
• for those people engaged in front line services to our community at this time
• that we may soon be able to use our new building to its full potential
