Prayer for Faith..........

I feel the need today to call people to pray for their faith. Pray for all of the Christians worldwide that their faith might be strengthened through the power of the Holy Spirit. We live in a time when countless Christians are persecuted and even killed for their faith. I personally do not see this trend going away anytime soon and envision a world in which it will continually grow worse. the Bible tells us that as Christians we are going to face persecutions and that when these things happen we are actually being blessed.

Matthew 5:15 "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me." (NIV)

As Americans we live in a country in which we do not have to suffer serious persecutions for our faith. Therefore, all of my brothers and sisters in Christ pray for our fellow Christians around the globe who are suffering greatly because of their faith in Christ. Pray that through our weakness God can complete His works in us.

Prayer for Americas Churches.......

I find it fitting today since it is Sunday to ask you to pray with me for our churches. Let us pray that we do not become confined within the walls of the places in which we worship. Pray that God will fill our hearts with the desire to go out into the world, away from our safety nets and spread the message of Jesus Christ. Pray the the messages that we hear in our Churches are truly inspired by God and that we do nothing for the sake of ourselves. We will never be perfect but we should constantly strive to be more like Christ.

Prayer for Prostitution....

I was reading today and cam across an article about prostitution in the Ukraine. It broke my heart to read the article and realize how many woman are subjected to this type of lifestyle and feel that there is nothing wrong with the way in which they are living. No woman should be forced to live a life filled with selling yourself for the pleasure of others. "The girls see themselves as victims of fate" (1) the article read. We need to pray for these woman and ask the Lord to open their hearts and realize just how much He cares for each and every one of them. We also need to pray for the workers out there in the mission field who are trying to tackle this problem at its core. Never forget that these woman are daughters, sisters, mothers, and in some cases even grandmothers. Please take a few moments to pray with me for these woman and as always God bless.

Prayer for Strength..........

I have had a very interesting and trying weekend. I thought about it a lot and continue to think about it now. I ask that anyone reading this pray for the strength to carry on. Whether it is a physical illness, emotional illness or spiritual illness, pray for the strength to overcome and carry on. Pray for the guidance to find comfort in the arms of the Lord.
