  3. Concert of Prayer Transition: Prayer in a Time of Pastoral Change

  4. Unison “I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:11-13, NIV

  5. Concert of Prayer 1. We Rely on God

  6. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. James 1:5, NIV

  7. LEADER In the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch) and Saul.

  8. WOMEN While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”

  9. MEN So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off. Acts 13:1-3, NIV

  10. UNISON To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul; in you I trust, O my God.

  11. WOMEN Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

  12. MEN Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old. Psalm 25:1,2,4,5, NIV

  14. Concert of Prayer 2. We Commit to Unity of Heart and Purpose

  15. The LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7, NIV
