Oriental Orthodox （Coptic）Zoom meeting from Egypt and H.K.

[Yusuphhai]

Heavenly Father,

We come before you with grateful hearts, acknowledging your presence in our lives and seeking your guidance and wisdom. Your Word reminds us in Psalm 119:105 that your Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. As we gather for our Bible study on the Gospel of Mark tonight, we ask for your Spirit to illuminate the words on the pages and open our hearts and minds to receive the message you have for us.

In Mark 1:15, Jesus proclaimed, "The time has come. The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!" Lord, help us to grasp the significance of these words and to respond with hearts of repentance and faith. May the Gospel of Mark reveal to us the transformative power of your kingdom and inspire us to live as faithful followers of Christ.

As we delve into the Scriptures together, we ask for your guidance and understanding. In James 1:5, we are reminded that if any of us lacks wisdom, we should ask you, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to us. Grant us discernment and insight as we study your Word, that we may grow in knowledge and faith.

We also lift up this upcoming online meeting tonight. May it be a time of unity, encouragement, and deepening relationships with one another and with you. We pray for the technology to work smoothly and for all participants to engage actively in the discussion, sharing their insights and questions. May your presence be palpable as we gather virtually, bridging the physical distance between us.

Father, we extend an invitation to all those who may benefit from this Bible study. May your Holy Spirit prompt hearts to join us, that together we may grow in our understanding of your Word and be transformed by its truth. Help us to be bold in extending this invitation and to trust in your divine timing for those who will attend.

We commit this time and our hearts to you, knowing that you are the ultimate teacher and guide. May our study of the Gospel of Mark deepen our love for you, strengthen our faith, and equip us to live as ambassadors of your kingdom.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father, as we begin this Tuesday, we thank You for the gift of a new day. May Your presence be with us throughout the day, guiding our steps and filling our hearts with Your love. We find strength in Your Word, and we are reminded of the verse from Isaiah 40:31: "But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Lord, help us to wait on You, to trust in Your perfect timing, and to find renewed strength in You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
