Devote yourselves to prayer; stay alert in it with thanksgiving.
Colossians 4:2, CSB
God deserves our thanks, and we find our thankfulness increases as we focus on God and giving Him our gratitude.
Most of our deacons are retirement age, and one only left the military for disability while still of working age. All deacons need prayer, but especially as the get older and face more and more health concerns.

Our congregation has a few people affected by the shutdown. We help them every time this happens, but there are many people who do not have this help. Let us pray for and be prepared to help many.

It is harder to get a job at this moment. I even saw an article Saturday (Nov. 1) about “ghost jobs,” posted job opportunities that do not actually exist within a company but are used to either scare current employees into working better or to inspire investors.
Add into this the number of people with little or no experience, and many jobs are more often requiring experience. It can make job hunting intimidating.
Let us pray for all those job searching, including Jimmy’s friend.

Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises.
James 5:13, CSB
We are in a spiritual war, and our prayers for each other and praises to God help us while pushing back against evil and demonic forces.
I am personally grateful for the security team, because for several months I was the security team, setup/teardown team (with occasional volunteers), and cleanup team. I also had to occasionally teach Kids Sunday School, help with A/V, and even preach. That does not make for strong security. We finally got a man who saw the need, got extra training, and now we have a good team in place. (We also have teams for everything else, though I help in several areas still.) I get updates and questions from the team, but I can sit more on Sundays. We certainly live in a dangerous world, but God is good and has His people equipped.

We launched our Sunday “prayer corner” nearly three years ago, only the elders taking turns being the primary contact. A year and a half ago, we started a midweek prayer group. It actually took us a while to have this same thought as today’s exhortation. Today, our deacons lead the prayer corner with other volunteers, and midweek is facilitated by volunteers. (We elders still participate in both! I rarely make the prayer meeting due to youth group being at the same time.)
Pray for congregational prayer.

We may be seeing a revival before our eyes, but like the early Church in Acts and later, we keep facing people telling us to stop speaking in this Name, or at least say everything the same way everyone else is.
May we be bold and seek our King, knowing He set the example and has called us to boldly proclaim the gospel, especially when the world hates us.
