PRAYER FOR YOUR CHURCH

Lord, I lift up our Women’s Ministry. Encourage our older women to train the younger in family issues. Teach our women to be virtuous—women with gentle and quiet spirits who put their hope in You. Let this ministry produce women who feel Your passion for them and who choose to spend time at Your feet. Train them to contend for the gospel side by side with the men. (Titus 2:4, 5; Pro. 31:10; 1 Pet. 3:4, 5; Ps. 45:11; Lk. 10:38-42; Phil. 4:3)

. . . prayer is back on the radar screen!

In a recent Christianity Today article, "The Top Books that Have Shaped Evangelicals," the number one book was Learning Conversational Prayer by Rosalind Rinker.

WOW! An unassuming female writer explaining in the simplest, non-technical language, how to talk to God in the presence of other pray-ers beats out doctors of theology, scholars, theologians (systematic and whatever he opposite is of systematic), multi-million selling authors, even mega-church pastors!
Is it possible that the Church across America is beginning to realize the urgency and priority of prayer? Are we rediscovering the Apostle Paul's exhortation to Pastor Timothy of the church in Ephesus both the urgency and the priority of prayer? “I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people” (1 Tim. 2:1, NLT).

Is there hope, that our leaders, both national and local, are beginning to recognize we are called to build a house of prayer, not a house of preaching or a house of programs or a house of the people, by the people and for the people. All that (powerful preaching, purposeful programs, and a Christian community of people who love God and others) will be added unto us as we seek first, in and through prayer, His Kingdom.

It seems to me that is what God has in mind, still.
