PRAY

The Lord is in control and He calls us to pray. Prayer doesn’t change the Lord it changes us.

Please learn to pray and do it many times every day.

PRAY
The admonition is to pray. We are to talk with the Lord 24/7. When you wake up in the night-pray. As you go on your way-pray. In all things and all situations pray. Then as we talk with the Father, having established a relationship of prayer our belief is established and we will receive what we pray about. Knowing God, we understand belief and our life is living out in surrender to the Father.

POSSIBILITIES

We lead lives of great possibilities. All around us are needy people. They need us. We can meet their need. Pray for the necessary things you will need to minister, and minister. Believe the Lord will empower and use you and He will. The key is to be equipped for the work and then to do the work. Sometimes our equipping is as we minister.

PRAY

Please pray. Please pray for your family, friends, co-workers, leaders, nation and anyone else for whom the Lord guides you to pray. Pray for your church. Pray that the lost might be saved. Pray for your daily walk. Pray that the Lord will expand your ministry everyday. Please pray.
