Pray For

So one of the blogs I read is written by a woman who founded 147 Million Orphans, an organization based in Nashville! That aims to help orphans and adoptive families. Just recently, they posted about, what is in my opinion an awesome idea, their new initiative. Here it is:

SO WE AT 147 ARE ASKING YOU TO COME ALONG SIDE OF US AND HELP US TO ASK OTHERS TO PRAY DOWN THE NUMBER AT 1:47 PM ... where ever you are just stop and lift up orphans to the FATHER - pray for friend's adoptions, pray for the orphan who is hungry, pray the for the orphan that is sick, pray for the families sitting on the fence about adoption, pray for orphan/adoption ministries, pray for those serving orphans, ... WHATEVER GOD LAYS ON YOUR HEART ABOUT THE FATHERLESS - pray pray pray !!!
put in on your calendar, make it an appt. on your phone, write it on your hand, put a sticky note on your mirror or do them all ... LET'S ALL STAND TOGETHER, WATCH OUR FAITH GROW AND THE NUMBER GO DOWN !!! - to read the rest of the article click here

I would be so grateful if you all would join in. I find that setting my phone alarm works the best...

I've found out lately jut how much prayer matters. It is what grows our relationship with God; it is like the phone calls and texts we send out friends. Without these little efforts to get to know our fellow humans, we would not have friendship. Without our effort to know God through prayer, we cannot have a relationship with him.

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you. - John 14: 13-14

Praying as a community is one of the greatest things about being in the network of Christians all over the world. Let's life up these children and families to the Lord and ask him to make radical waves. To make radical changes.

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours - Matthew 11:24
