As we were reminded in Rick's message last night, Prayer is important. We need to keep praying and Rick has specifically called us to focus on prayer this coming year. So this is a reminder to pray. It's so easy, and yet so effective!
And it's likely to make Satan mad...
So let's be sure to also pray for and encourage one another!
- If you are a member of the Prayer Wall, please check the Prayer Wall web page and contact your prayer partners. It's easy and it's very helpful to know what to pray for people.
- If you are not a member of the Prayer Wall, please consider joining! Just send me an email and I'll add you to the list and you'll get two people praying for you! It's the spiritual pyramid scheme that works!
- Please continue to spend a short time in prayer each day and ask the Holy Spirit to put someone on your heart. Pray for their encouragement and protection, and then encourage them by letting them know you were praying or them. Let's grow our prayer culture at Breakwater!
- Please continue to pray for Pastor Rick. Let him know that you're praying for him. I just can't stress enough how important it is that we cover Rick in prayer, and how encouraging it is for him to know that YOU are doing so.
- Don't believe Satan's lies about how much time this will take, or how self serving it is to let someone know that you're praying for them, or how you'll be invading your prayer wall partner's privacy to ask them how you can pray for them. Those aren't just lies, they're silly lies. We're smarter than that!
- And if you fail to pray, if you forget or Satan wins the battle for a day, don't let that discourage you from getting right back to it again! It happens to all of us, and God still loves you and still wants to have a relationship with you!
