PRAYER FOR YOUR CHURCH
Help for the Hurting
Lord, I lift up those who are hurting right now. May they come to know You as El Roi, the God who sees them. For every situation of rejection, help them feel sonship. Bind up the brokenhearted! In every area of bondage, set the captives free; in every case of mourning, replace it with Your oil of gladness. Comfort them so that they will have a ministry of comfort to others. (Gen. 16:13; Ro. 8:15; Isa. 61:1-3; 2 Cor. 1:3-4)
Thanksgiving is a wonderful and appropriate time to show appreciation to those who support the ministry of prayer . . . and to plant the seed in others. Why not bless those on your prayer team and/or those who support the church in prayer with the gift of a book or tape that the Holy Spirit can use to draw them deeper into biblical prayer.
One book we highly recommend is The Lighthouse Devotional. Currently, Harvest prayer ministries is offering this $15 hardcover book at 67% off the retail price ($5.00). Pray! books also offers multiple copy discoutns on its products. Such books as Lord, Teach Us to Pray, Approaching God, or the inexpensive Paths of Gold would make good "thank yous" for people of prayer.
If you do not have a prayer ministry budget, ask permission to utilize the church’s leadership budget or raise enough funds to cover the cost of purchasing multiple copies of a prayer resource.
Include a note that affirms them and invites their fuller participation.
