The most important prayer you'll pray? Dr. Morris suggests you'll find it in Matthew 14:29.
"Lord, Save me!"
Sometimes, it is all one has the strenght to say. And if words don't come, just looking up counts, too. We have been experiencing what it means to support one another through prayer and learning how to hold on to God's promises by faith. Still wondering how to pray and what to pray for? The Bible offers assurance that we have access to divine guidance in that area, too (Romans 8:26-27)
As he was leaving the House of Prayer, Pastor John who was visiting from South Africa expressed his gladness for having been there. It is truly a "House of Praye for ALL people".
Next week...3 Important things for living prayer.
See you next Wednesday! For now, here are a few more highlights from this evening:
This quilt presented by the Prayer&Square to Keela as a big thank you for her work on behalf of wounded veterans. Keela is athletic and strong. She is a fitness trainer and had wondered how she could use her abilities to glorify God's Name. She had decided to walk miles accross the USA and raise money on behalf of those who sacrificed for the country's freedoms. She has done this twice. She has taken prayer military quilts to patients at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in DC. The team of quilters decided to create one just for Keela as a "thank you" and for her encouragement-she had gone through a tough time recently. Keela was so surprised and very grateful for everyone's support this evening!
When Doug asked for prayers on behalf of his Mom, a lot of people in the congregation could relate. He and his wife are planning to travel at her bedside with a prayer quilt. Lois unexpectedly shared her experience with praying about her own physical health almost five years ago. Her lungs are stronger than ever and "I guess God has more work for me to do," she says. She continues to be an important part of the ministry team at the church lending administrative skills and wisdom, and tonight, a confident message that a loving God can and will make us whole.
Praying for our joy...and hope for the journey
