September 26, 2018

Father, 
I am a bit under the weather as I did too much yesterday and kept this cold going. I ask that You would heal me and I will be healed, for You are the one I praise. I will try again to rest today. It is a cool morning with beautiful sunshine and suppose to be very warm today.
I have been feeling a bit odd at church. I am very sensitive and trying to feel my way along ... I may be into too many things that are not mine to fuss with. So I feel drawn to focus on what my gifts have to offer - evangelism and intercession. I am going to try and get a team for prayer planning going. Now I need to work on an agenda.
I do ask for help in leading the Women's Sunday School class as the book discussions did not happen this last week and I am thankful for all the prayer requests. I pray that You will equip me to continue leading the class and do it with enjoyment. Help me with that role showing me if it is something I should or should not pursue. 
I seek a closer relationship with You and I ask what do You want from me in order for it to be closer? I pray You will help me with this time of day set aside just for you and me. Help me to feel Your presence throughout the day.
I now go into my prayer time of intercession ... but I ask again boldly for You to guide my path as the Prayer Coordinator for the church. Help our church to grow and become a House of Prayer. Increase the number of prayer warriors that will come out to pray on Thursday and on Fridays. All this I ask in the name of Jesus, Amen.

BIBLE READING:  
1 Thessalonians 1:10 Jesus was raised from the dead and will rescue us from the wrath that is coming.

 BOOK READING:
Too Busy Not To Pray by Bill Hybels
I can and have read lots of books about prayer, attended seminars and even participated in prayer seminars, as well as study the bible about prayer, but what found I needed to do is simply PRAY, regularly and often - daily, but also moment by moment  - sharing joys and concerns. As I grow in prayer, God reveals more of himself to me. Friendship with God, trust, confidence, peace, relief ... all these wonderful things are mine as I build a relationship with Him through prayer. If you struggle with prayer like I did, but you feel drawn to building that relationship and want to talk about it I am there for you - but more importantly God is there for you.
