Thank you for all who will be praying during this weekend. We are embarking not on a moment of prayer but a life time of serving the King of kings and Lord of lords together. He has great plans for you and His church. We begin the adventure of community. WOW! What would God do if our priorities and lives were in step with him. Is there something deep inside of you that longs to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for the real deal, a faith that makes a difference in our world's problems (even our community's)? God is calling us to a passionate love relationship with Himself. The answer is not to work harder at a list of do's and don'ts - THE ANSWER is FALL in LOVE with Jesus!! When you are wildly in love with someone, it changes everything. I will be praying that each of us hear God's passionate invitation to be in love with HIM during our time of prayer.

"Pray the largest prayers. You cannot think a prayer so large that God, in answering it, will not wish you had made it larger. Pray not for crutches but for wings!" Phillips Brooks.

He must alter our lives. If we are not willing to change direction can we really expect to walk with God. "We must alter our lives in order to alter our hearts, for it is impossible to live one way and pray another."William Law

Attached is a list of verses to assist your prayer time today. If you are not going to the church for your prayer time you might want to print. Prayer is not just talking to God but listening!

Heavenly Father, thank you for Your Amazing Grace. Your forgiveness is So good tha I struggle with believing it at times. Thank you for rescuing me from myself over and over again and giving me Your Holy Spirit. Your love is better than life.

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, ther words to the ends of the world. -- Psalm 19:1-4
