PRAYER CHALLENGE 26


CHALLENGE TAKEN from the pdf mentioned back here
Suggestion for today from there:

Day 26:  Pray and ask God for a stronger faith for this New Year. Figure out those things that you lack in your character or need improvement. Once you figure a few out ask for growth in these areas. Let your prayers be active!  If you know of someone who can help you, then ask God for the courage to ask for that help you need. 

DAILY PRAYER from Germaine Copeland author of "Prayers that Avail Much"
Prayers That Avail Much: 25th Anniversary Commemorative Gift Edition (Prayers That Avail Much) (Prayers That Avail Much)




A Teachable Spirit
When I was very young my family met a man who had been everywhere, seen everythig and knew more about everything than anyone else. Although he experienced success at various levels he never reached his potential. In the process he lost his family and friends; he ended up dying alone. Choose the way of life and always remain teachable. Our God created the universe, and He is a many faceted God. He sent the Holy Spirit to teach you how to live the more abundant life until it overflows!

PRAYER:
Teach me, O LORD, to follow your decrees; then I will keep them to the end. Give me understanding, and I will keep your law and obey it with all my heart. Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight. Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain. Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word. Fulfill your promise to your servant, so that you may be feared. Take away the disgrace I dread, for your laws are good. How I long for your precepts! Preserve my life in your righteousness. Amen.
Scripture Reading: Psalm 119:33-40
The daily prayer is written by Germaine Copeland, author of the Prayers That Avail Much family book series.

Today's Blessing

Pray the Blessing:
Luke 6:27-35 “But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either.

Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them. “If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.

Declare your faith:
I believe and confess that through Jesus Christ, I was reconciled to God and that I received the ministry of reconciliation so that through doing good evil will be overcome
(2 Cor 5:19; 1 Pet 3:9; Rom 12:21)

Pray on foot:
Pray for anyone who you believe to be your enemy and bless him/her today by doing a good deed.

PRAYER for Our Nation

This was shared in an email from the Presidential Prayer Team:

Declaration of Independence Signer

Samuel Chase
George Washington (1732-1799), 1st President of the United States

"Almighty God: We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy Holy protection; and Thou wilt incline the hearts of the Citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to Government; and to entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow Citizens of the United States at large, and particularly for their brethren who have served in the Field. And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that Charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the Characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed Religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." --

This prayer of George Washington appears in St. Paul's Chapel in New York City.
