Lift Up Your Hearts - A Prayer of Thanksgiving & Petition
Inspired by the church's 2024 stewardship theme, Lift Up Your Hearts is a prayer written and read by Rev. Dr. Sam Hamilton-Poore, pastor at Montevallo Presbyterian Church PCUSA in Montevallo, Alabama.
Lift Up Your Hearts reminds us to give thanks and praise for the many blessings we receive, but also serves as a petition for change in ways that cause so much pain and suffering in this world.
