As we move forward in the ROOTS campaign, we ask that you take time to prayerfully consider where God is leading us as a church, remembering His faithfulness since the beginning. We hope this card will be a visible reminder to pray daily for Trinity.
Pray that Jeremiah 17:7-8 would be true of Trinity; that our flourishing would be evident as we depend upon Him and not our own strength.
Pray that each of us would experience greater intimacy with the Lord during the 5 weeks of prayer and fasting.
Pray for the hearts of our children; for a beginning understanding of generosity, not as a concept but as a response to the mercy and grace of Jesus.
Ask the Lord to prepare each heart in our church family for Commitment Sunday. Pray that people will faithfully seek His direction and be open to making a sacrificial giving commitment.
Ask the Lord to increase our vision of how He desires to use Trinity and each one of us to establish roots for the gospel in our city.

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
— Jeremiah 17:7-8
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. ”
— Philippians 4:6-7
“And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.”
— 1 John 5:14
“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. ”
— Psalm 16:11
“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound...to comfort all who mourn; to grant to those who mourn in Zion—to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified.”
