COMMUNITY LIFE & PRAYER | October 9 Week
4 I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. 8 Taste and see that the Lord is good. 11 Come, my children, and listen to me, 15 The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right; 19 The righteous person faces many troubles, 21 Calamity will surely overtake the wicked,
This was the Psalm at the end of our confession liturgy on Sunday night (Psalm 34). Pray through this psalm throughout the week... 1 I will praise the Lord at all times.
I will constantly speak his praises.
2 I will boast only in the Lord;
let all who are helpless take heart.
3 Come, let us tell of the Lord’s greatness;
let us exalt his name together.
He freed me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy;
no shadow of shame will darken their faces.
6 In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened;
he saved me from all my troubles.
7 For the angel of the Lord is a guard;
he surrounds and defends all who fear him.
Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!
9 Fear the Lord, you his godly people,
for those who fear him will have all they need.
10 Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry,
but those who trust in the Lord will lack no good thing.
and I will teach you to fear the Lord.
12 Does anyone want to live a life
that is long and prosperous?
13 Then keep your tongue from speaking evil
and your lips from telling lies!
14 Turn away from evil and do good.
Search for peace, and work to maintain it.
his ears are open to their cries for help.
16 But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil;
he will erase their memory from the earth.
17 The Lord hears his people when they call to him for help.
He rescues them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;
he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.
but the Lord comes to the rescue each time.
20 For the Lord protects the bones of the righteous;
not one of them is broken!
and those who hate the righteous will be punished.
22 But the Lord will redeem those who serve him.
No one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.

COMMUNITY Life & Prayer | Week of October 1
For whom and for what can we pray for this week? What is God placing on our hearts as individuals and as a community? As always, post anything regarding prayer as a comment below! This was Scott's prayer on Sunday night from Psalm 22, the Psalm which Jesus prayed as he was on the cross:
6 But I am a worm and not a man.
I am scorned and despised by all!
7 Everyone who sees me mocks me.
They sneer and shake their heads, saying,
8 “Is this the one who relies on the Lord?
Then let the Lord save him!
If the Lord loves him so much,
let the Lord rescue him!”
19 O Lord, do not stay far away!
You are my strength; come quickly to my aid!
20 Save me from the sword;
spare my precious life from these dogs.
21 Snatch me from the lion’s jaws
and from the horns of these wild oxen.
22 I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters.[b]
I will praise you among your assembled people.
23 Praise the Lord, all you who fear him!
Honor him, all you descendants of Jacob!
Show him reverence, all you descendants of Israel!
24 For he has not ignored or belittled the suffering of the needy.
He has not turned his back on them,
but has listened to their cries for help.
25 I will praise you in the great assembly.
I will fulfill my vows in the presence of those who worship you.
26 The poor will eat and be satisfied.
All who seek the Lord will praise him.
Their hearts will rejoice with everlasting joy.
27 The whole earth will acknowledge the Lord and return to him.
All the families of the nations will bow down before him.
28 For royal power belongs to the Lord.
He rules all the nations.

COMMUNITY LIFE & PRAYER | September 11 Week
Let's pray the prayer of John Wesley throughout this week, for us where we are, and for TILT as a community and the Church throughout Toronto and Canada:
Let the inspiration of the Holy Spirit prepare and assist me in all the duties of this, Your sacred day. That my wandering thoughts may all be fixed on You, my devotion centered upon You, and my apathy quickened into longing for and thirsting after You.
Let me join in the prayers and praises of Your Church with committed and holy passion. Let me hear Your Word with listening ears and a determination to obey it. And when I approach Your altar, the tree upon which Jesus died, pour into my heart humility, faith, hope, love and a holy character which reflects the crucified Saviour.
Let me make use of this entire day to the ends for which it was intended, doing what must be done but also living out mercy, in prayer, praise and meditation; and let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart be always pleasing in Your sight.
Amen.
The prayer map, as always, is a great way to pray for one another.

"Grant us, Your servants, the courageous confidence we need to go ahead and
proclaim Your message while You reach out Your hand to heal people, enabling
us to perform signs and wonders through the name of Your holy servant Jesus" - the prayer of the community of believers in Acts 4, displayed in God's power in Acts 5:12-16. As we prayed on Sunday, we continue to pray this for our community, for revival at the hand of God, using us as His instruments.
The prayer map is a great way to pray for one another. You can still be added!

COMMUNITY LIFE & PRAYER | August 28 Week
Anything that we as a community can pray for? Please post a request by using the comments! Given the high number of teachers and students at TILT, things are starting to ramp up again for many of us - pray for renewed energy, excitement and God's eyes on how we go about what we do.
As always, a great way to pray for one another is through the Prayer Points map!
Prayer requests from last week:
Hey all!
If you could pray for me as I approach a very different Fall not going back into vocational ministry that would be greatly appreciated. Prayer for direction, wisdom, new and different ministry - with Chloe, potential mom's group (s), neighbourhood and time with friends... that would be greatly appreciated!
Blessings,
monica
Hi friends,
Back in the Spring, I asked you to pray for the husband of a colleague of mine who had a double lung transplant. Just got an update from her ... he is now in a rehab hospital, having suffered a stroke after his surgery. However, there is no sign of rejection of the lungs! She asks for continued prayers as he recovers ... specifically for energy, as he lost a lot of weight, is nauseated by the drugs he's on, and tires very easily. Also, their son is getting married on September 8 ... pray that he would have the energy to be able to make it through that day.
I would also appreciate prayers as I have just begun studying for my psychology licensing exam ... the second last "hoop" for me. Thanks.
Lesley

COMMUNITY LIFE & PRAYER | August 21 Week
Thank you for your prayer support last week as many of us were up at Moose Deer Point Reserve in Muskoka. I don't think any of us within TILT desire this to be a one-time one-week connection, but seek to build a relationship with the people of Moose Deer. So, continued prayer for that community is a vital aspect of such a relationship. Prayer for broken families, for fathers to return to their children, for healing, for breaking cycles of violence, negativity and defeatism. Prayer for hope, and peace. The list could go on, but pray as God leads!
As always, please post prayer under the comments below. It's easy to do and a great way to stay connected during the week.
We continue to use the prayer map - read about it and view it from this posting here.
