In our prayer service this evening we will read Philippians 3:1-16 together, discuss and meditate on it, then read this prayer aloud together.

Heavenly Father, We rejoice in You! We worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus. Father, so fill our hearts with your love that whatever things were gain, we count loss for the sake of Christ, and may we see all earthly things as meaningless in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus, our Lord.
Lord, we know we cannot attain our own righteousness. Our great need, Your great gift is the righteousness through faith in Your Son. In Him we trust.
Father, we want to know Christ, the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings. May we be conformed to His death that we may attain life.
Father, we press on, together, for the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
We pray in the strong name of Jesus,
Amen.
