Hi all
This is a first attempt to encourage the members of Encounter and the Marlow Anglican Team to
"Pray with understanding" - gathering our prayers together on specific topics.
We hope that we can use this on two levels
Level 1 - You can use this just to see what prayer topics are on the minds of the writers (well, me [ Paul H ] at the moment)
Level 2 - You can post your own prayer topic as a comment to the current month. Please be aware that the topics are open to the world, so if there's something confidential, or you want to keep names of people to yourself, just use general terms (eg Please pray for my friend who's just been made redundant / been diagnosed with man-flu)
As well as using it to ask God to do stuff, Philipians 4 tells us "Tell God your needs and don't forget to thank God for his answers", so please post your rejoicing at answered prayer in "Thank you" prayer comments
We'll review how this goes over the next few months
As an example - and a real one too ;-)
ReplyDeletePlease pray for the Marlow Anglican Team's Leadership Team meeting with the Bishop of Buckingham (and others) on Monday 20th December to start the appointment process for Nick's successor as Team Rector of our Team Ministry.
The outcome of the appointment process has big implications for all of our churches in Marlow, so we pray for the person of God's calling to be selected, and for the people of our churches to grow in anticipation for the things God has in store for us.
