Welcome and opening scripture (5 minutes)
This morning we heard this truth: Because God is for you, no accusation stands against you, no condemnation terrifies you, and no suffering can separate you from His love. So tonight, we come to pray like people who are secure. People who are confident. People who are loved.
Romans 8:31-32, What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He did not even spare his own Son but gave him up for us all. How will he not also with him grant us everything?
Opening prayer: Thank God for His Son. Thank Him that we are secure. Ask Him to hear our prayers tonight.
Confident prayer for the church (10 minutes)
God is for His church. He will not forsake His people.

- New members and teachers: K P, Sunday school team, new ministry leaders (D G, T vS).
- Church discipline: Pray for repentance, restoration, and gospel clarity.
A few short, specific prayers.
Prayer for members in need (10 minutes)
When condemnation shouts, when suffering overwhelms, we say: Nothing can separate us from His love. Not cancer. Not grief. Not weakness.

- Those recovering: M B, L & I A, I vdS, J T, H O.

Closing (2 minutes)
Romans 8:38-39, For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, angels nor rulers… will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
