if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14, ESV
We are called to pray, and Jesus gave us the example by praying regularly and for all who would follow Him in faith as God.
Let us pray for our needs, yes, but for each other and our world, as our Lord showed us.
“And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land with a decree of utter destruction.”
Malachi 4:6, ESV
It can seem the world is getting worse all the time.
Yet, God has called us to show His mercy by praying that He will draw fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, whole families together and to Him.
Pray God’s mercy and grace on our world and our hearts and minds.
I actually have a planning meeting with some men this afternoon to discuss community prayer and outreach. I may be overseeing this ministry, but we are entrusting the work to these men and the congregation.
I love Jimmy and our other brothers and sisters, but I must also point out specifically why we go out: Matthew 28:18
And [Jesus] said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.”

This Sunday at Church I want to encourage you to do the following: Pray for your Church to not forget the Great Commission. First though: What is the Great Commission?

This Sunday at Church: Pray for your Church to not forget the Great Commission
Just last night, I was thinking about our neighbors whom I pray for. When they moved in, the husband/dad would get drunk and scream and threaten his family. Last night, though, I heard how a daughter (3) can soften a heart, as he spoke tenderly and even told her he wants to be a better man for her.
I have not heard yelling for a while.
Let us pray for the unsaved.

This Sunday at Church I want to encourage you to do the following: Pray for your non-Christian Neighbors. This is to balance a previous Sunday post “Thank the Lord if you have Christian Neighbors.” If they don’t know Christ then we should be concern for their spiritual well being, and want them to be saved. […]

Ephesians 6:18, ESV
In Christ, we are united with all other believers by the Holy Spirit, so ket us pray for each other regularly, especially those under persecution and oppression.
Let us pray for our brother’s family, and all those dealing with health concerns and their families.
Daniel
I try not to talk about my personal life on my blog but I thought I share this. I’ll be traveling to help things with my parents. My dad has been going through health issues. We don’t fully know everything going on. In the middle of this is a lot of ministry. Pray that […]
My Dad’s Health and asking for prayers
Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.
Colossians 4:2, ESV
It is easier to be distracted with entertainment and pleasures, but we are called to sacrifice our wants and desires, crucifying them in Christ, and lifting each other up in prayer, seeking God in prayer, and growing in thankfulness … through regular, sacrificial prayer.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14, ESV
Many will try to tell us there are many ways to truth or to find our own truth, but Jesus has told us He is the embodiment and source of truth.
Pray that His grace and truth can flow through your life.
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.
1 Peter 5:8-9, ESV
Temptations and persecutions come to God’s faithful, but God is on our side.
Let us pray for all those who face persecution daily, and lift up those under spiritual attack daily.
