Day #4 Prayer Update

The night and day rhythm of prayer continues. We know that the prayers of the righteous are powerful and effective and we believe that much work is being accomplished in these days by the fervent prayers of God's people. It is tremendously encouraging to know that Christians all around this city are praying with a unified voice for similar things. For those of us that are able to gather together (for those of you that have come out, thank you so much for joining us!! you have been an extra encouragement in these days.) we have been buoyed knowing that prayer is going up all around our city.

REPENTANCE

That was the theme today. At both the am and pm gatherings we read from 2 Chronicles 7:14 where God says that if we "humble ourselves and seek His face and turn from our wicked ways, then He will hear from heaven and will forgive our sins and will heal our land!" Hear our prayers of repentance Lord and be faithful to Your Word and heal our land! Do this in our city Lord, for Your name's sake!


A special thanks goes out to the Light & Life Christian (North) family for hosting this gathering last night. Speaking on behalf of the rest of the group that represented other parts of the region, it was great to be joining hearts with you in prayer for the city that we all love! They ended their regular Sunday service early and transitioned into a focused time of prayer. Thanks to Devin and the band for beginning and ending our prayer time with praise and worship.

It has been great to see more and more representation of the Body of Christ from around the city. What fun it will be on Pentecost Sunday when a broad representation of the Church of the city gathers to pray! If you are able, consider joining us one of these evening or morning prayer times before Sunday.
