Why ask for prayer?
Romans 15:30
'I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.'
In our daily struggles we, like Paul, can be encouraged by members of our church family praying with and for us. If you would like others to be praying for you, please ask any of the prayer ministry team (or indeed any of the church family). You can ask personally, by email (prayer @deanechurch.org) or drop a prayer request card in the box at the back of church. All prayer requests will remain confidential within the prayer ministry team.
Prayer is such a privilege; let us join together in our struggles and as we do, encourage and build each other up, bringing glory to God.
