Power in prayer comes only with humility and perseverance - #Pray4ppl

Life Support Prayer Calendar

Dear Prayer Team Member,

R. A. Torrey says this in How to Pray:

"When we feel least like praying is the time when we most need to pray. We should wait quietly before God and tell Him how cold and prayerless our hearts are, and look up to Him and trust Him and expect Him to send the Holy Spirit to warm our hearts and draw them out in prayer. It will not be long before the glow of the Spirit's presence will fill our hearts, and we will begin to pray with freedom, directness, earnestness, and power."

May God grant you such an experience as you pray for PPL at midweek!

Call to Prayer: Jesus Doesn't Triage

John 5:39-44 (NRSV)

"John 5:39-44 (NRSV) "You search the scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that testify on my behalf. Yet you refuse to come to me to have life. I do not accept glory from human beings. But I know that you do not have the love of God in you. I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me; if another comes in his own name, you will accept him. How can you believe when you accept glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the one who alone is God?"

June 7-13, 2020

1. Pray in humility asking God to show you ways that you may be seeking glory from others rather than "the glory that comes from the One who alone is God."

2. Pray for the leaders of the denomination of which you are a member. Ask God to cause their hearts to be turned toward God as their source of life and to know the truth about the value of human life. Pray that they will bow before the only one with authority to decide who lives or dies at every stage of human life.
