In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart. -John Bunyan
This is the last week of the 777 Prayer Project table. The 777 Prayer Project is a 1 year commitment to pray for our pastors. If you are interested in participating in this powerful gift of prayer and love to our pastors, stop by the 777 Project table to pick up your prayer card.
Denise is doing so well that they are considering transferring her out of ICU and into a regular room! Denise still has a long way to go before she will walk out the door of the hospital.
Please pray for Kathy and Fletcher Anderson. They both watch our TV broadcast and have been in services a couple of times. Fletcher has been in the hospital for 2 months with Valley Fever. They are hoping to release him in the next few weeks - but he is very weak.

Pray for our country, her leadership and our military.
Great and Magnificent God,
You reign in splendor over all of creation and over all of eternity. When You tell us that our eyes have not seen or our minds imagined what You have prepared for us, it takes our breath away. For if we can not even begin to imagine what You have prepared for us - how much even less are we able to imagine Your radiance and glory. We can hardly wait to behold You.
Father, show us where we have failed You, help us to walk stronger in You.
LORD of All, Denise is truly a picture of Your grace and mercy. As You continue to heal her, use her and her family to reach those around her in Your name.
We pray for Fletcher Anderson as he continues to recover from Valley Fever, LORD God. We ask that You strengthen him. Guide Fletcher and Kathy to a community of faith that can support and surround them with love.
Healer of the World, touch Frieda as she heals from her surgery. Help her to recover quickly, complete her therapy quickly, so that she can quickly rejoin our community. We thank You for her and the living example she is of Your love.
Abba, You knew me before I was born. You knit my bones together in my mother’s womb. You know my comings and goings, You know the number of my days, You know the face that I show the world and You know the thoughts that I conceal. You know me better than I know myself. In spite of all this, You love me with an everlasting love. You love me with a love that says no matter what I do or where I go - even to the gates of hell itself - You will still persist in loving me. I am not worthy of You. But not even that seems to matter in how much You love me. I exult within Your love.
Holy Spirit, we pray for those who remain on our prayer chain. Hear our request that You touch each person with a new vision of hope. Heal them.
Father God, we pray a stronghold of protection around those who serve You in the fields of harvest as missionaries.
With joy we pray for our pastors, LORD Jesus. Thank You cannot begin to express how grateful that we are that You deemed us worthy of them. We ask every good thing for them. We lift our ministry leaders and our ministries before You and ask that we be given a fresh vision of You. Sometimes we grow weary, the needs of the world seem overwhelming to us. Give us strength and courage to continue to serve You.
LORD God, bless our country. Help our leaders make wise decisions based on Your will rather than on the will of special interest groups. Bless our men and women in the military. Grant their spirits peace.
God of the angel armies, thank You for this time in Your presence. Within You we find the strength to continue. You are God, and we fall down and adore You.
