#Pray4ppl God is waiting for your requests

Life Support Prayer Calendar

Dear Prayer Team Member,

Thank you for your prayers this week! Please continue to bring the work of PPL to God as Deborah begins to plan for the annual board meeting and we prepare the final prayer calendar for this year. (Look for a new call to prayer and prayer calendar coming your way the first week of September).

In this week's scripture, Jesus speaks boldly and plainly to those who reject his word, calling them children of the "father of lies." He names their father the devil a "murderer from the beginning." There really is a cosmic battle for human life and that is why prayer is essential if we are to accomplish our mission to equip champions of human life.

John 9:1-7 (NIV)

As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

"Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes. "Go," he told him, "wash in the Pool of Siloam" (this word means "Sent"). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.

1. Give thanks to God for his works of healing. Praise him for the knowledge that guides medical personnel and for tools such as hearing aids, eyeglasses, walkers, and wheelchairs that help the blind to see, the deaf to hear, the lame to walk. Thank him for medicines that heal a host of diseases.

2. Pray for God to heal those you know who are ill, who have physical limitations. Pray for God to restore the faith of elders and deacons so that they will routinely practice the ministry of prayer for those who are sick and include unborn babies and all those modern medicine cannot help.
