The Prayer Room
The Prayer Room at Hillsdale Church is located on the right side of the main entrance to the building. This room has an interior and exterior entrance. The outside door is always open and we invite ALL people to use this space at any time of day. You are welcome to come pray in this sacred space on a regular basis or in times of chaotic uncertainty. If you'd like someone to pray with you, please let us know and we will do our best to connect you with a prayer partner or submit your prayer request to the prayer ministry team. |
God's command to 'pray without ceasing' is founded on the necessity
we have of his grace to preserve the life of God in the soul,
which can no more subsist one moment without it, than the body can without air.
- John Wesley
A Morning Prayer of Thanksgiving
Rev. Dr. LaGretta Bjorn
Rev. Dr. LaGretta Bjorn
Loving God, Creator of all that has been, all that is, and all that is to come; You made us human and gave us hearts to love you and follow you. We thank you for the many blessings you have given us over this past year. God, we thank you for all of the blessings you have given us throughout our lives: Food to eat, Clothes to wear, Shelter from the storm, People who love us unconditionally. We thank you for their love because we recognize that their love for us is a reflection of your love.
We acknowledge that there are times in our lives when we, ourselves, feel unloved and unlovable. Give us the grace to love others, even when they are difficult. We trust in your faithfulness to carry us over the rough places of life. We trust in your love to walk with us through the difficulties of our days. We trust in your promise of life everlasting and put all of our hope in you. We thank you for Jesus. We thank you that he died so that we might have eternal life. Forgive us for our sins: The things you asked us to do and we failed to do, as well as the things you told us not to do but we did anyway. We are sorry and we ask that you will strengthen us, so that we will always follow you. We pray that your Holy Spirit will be felt by people who are in pain in mind, body or spirit.
Help them to know that you are with them and you are able to carry them through their trials. Bless our church family. Bless our community. Bless our nation. Bless our world. Enable us to live so that your will might be made manifest in the world around us. Amen.
