"After Jesus had dismissed the crowd, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray." Matthew 14:23. However, if we are to "pray constantly" as Paul encourages us to do, we have to "talk to our Father" as we go about our daily routine.
You can pray to our Lord while you are driving to work, picking upchildren from school, raking leaves or waiting for a doctor's appointment!
Prayer Focus:
- For God's help to open more doors for us to share about the sanctityof life with our families, friends and the local churches.
- For God's wisdom and guidance upon our executive board.
- For protection over any woman with an unplanned pregnancy, that she would seek Christian counsel and assistance.
- For members of Congress as they consider legislation that would provide federal funding for abortion.
The purpose of our prayer focus is to encourage and remind us to seek the Lord, to spend time in prayer, and to lift up our common concerns to our heavenly Father. Thank you for taking the time to lift up these concerns before God regarding the ministry of St. Croix Valley Christians for Life.
"... this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we askanything according to his will he hears us." 1 John 4:14
