Chad Allen led our staff in a time of extended prayer yesterday. We split up into 8 groups and travled throughout our building with various prayer topics to lift up in various places. It was a special time. Before we split up, Chad led us in a devotional. Here are a few notes. May his words encourage you to pray today.
***
We want to make prayer something that's normal, not formal.
We want to make sure that what's in our hearts gets to our lips.
We want to help you take the next step in your prayer life.
James 1:6 says we are to ask in faith, without any doubting. If we doubt, we are like the waves. So, pray confidently, expectantly, boldly.
I John 5:14-15 says that we can have confidence if we pray in accordance with God's will. If we pray according to God's will, He will answer. He hears us. He's listening. So, remember, God is willing to respond.
Mark 11:22 says, "And Jesus answered them, 'Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, "Be taken up and thrown into the sea," and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.'" Don't tell God how big your mountain is, but tell your mountain how big God is. So, pray in faith.
