PRAYERS FOR GOD'S PEOPLE

Lord we need your peace! Only in the place of your peace Lord can we receive all that we have need of, all that You desire for us. 

I pray today Lord, your peace would quiet the minds of your people, your peace quiet the hearts of your people. Lord that in the place of your supernatural peace over us, we are able to hear the voice of our God, we are able to know Your powerful presence with us, that in your peace we would hear and understand your counsel and guidance, that by your peace quieting us, we are able to understand and act on your words of truth!

Father,  today I ask that your peace would flow in and over and around and under and completely surround the hearts and minds of your people, that we would come into a peaceful fellowship with you, your truth, and realize our place in the body of Christ. 

I pray Lord that your peace would keep us, your peace would strengthen us, your peace in us would allow your Holy Spirit to lead us in boldness today to do the will of God, to receive your blessings and the joy of our salvation, in Jesus name, amen!

PRAYER K.I.S.S.E.S.

PRAYER:  
Keep It Spiritually Sound Even Simple!

In the same spirit of keeping is super simple, I won't write a whole lot, just enough for you to meditate on and grow from.

There's a lot that gets said about prayer.  Some feel it should be formal, fancy words, written out, repeated the same each time.  Some feel it should be from the heart, spontaneous, different each time.

Jesus prayed regularly, communing with the Father, and so should we.  But don't obsess about the words, the structure of your prayers.  

Because God doesn't consider our flesh, but instead, He looks at the heart of every person.

Prayer is less about the sounds we utter from our lips and more about THE TRUTH GOD HEARS FROM THE DEPTHS OF OUR HEARTS.

Proverbs 4:23  Keep your heart with all diligence for out of it spring the issues of life.

HAVE A BLESSED WEEK! WE'RE PRAYING FOR YOU.

Insignificant deeds

I Timothy 2:1  "Therefore I exhort FIRST OF ALL that supplications, prayers, intercessions and giving of thanks be made for ALL MEN..."

Let me tell you about an interesting encounter we had at the checkout stand.  As we paid for our groceries, we had the coins to make the change, but as we sought them the young man in line behind us was much quicker to the draw and supplied the needed nickel.  We began to protest but quieted ourselves swiftly, understanding that God wanted to allow this opportunity of giving on the part of the young man.  We thanked him heartily and went on our way.

As we packed the bags away, he emerged from the store, walked over to us and asked a question.  Following the leading of the Holy Spirit we offered to pray for him, which he accepted with joy.  The Lord led the prayer and there was healing and deliverance in it toward him.  I don't need to go into the specifics, but it was specific to meeting his need and showing him clearly the Lord cared for the hidden things (at least the things he thought were hidden from others, but God knew what they were!) and was deeply concerned about him, loved him and desired blessings to rain down in his life.

When we concluded praying, we hugged all around and sent him on his way with encouragement to contact us and let us know how he was doing, which he promised to do.   I've no doubt we'll hear from him, and that we'll hear of wondrous things God has wrought in his life.  I've no doubt that by the power of the Holy Spirit the Lord will be directing this young mans steps and that dark strangleholds were indeed broken as we prayed, that this young man walks in a new freedom and new sense of who he is in Christ.

Paul goes on to exhort Timothy, and US in I Timothy 2:3 "For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior Who desires ALL MEN to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."

Insignificant acts of obedience in which God is significantly Glorified.  Changing lives one at a time.  Praying for ONE person, reaching out to ONE person, interceding for ONE person in obedience to the Lords word to us is GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE in the sight of God and accomplishes HIS PURPOSES.

Reach out to one person, offer to pray with them and watch what God will do!

We pray for all those who will allow us the privilege and would be honored to pray for you.  REQUEST PRAYER  and make your need known.  We'll be praying for you!
