Prayer

This weeks theme will be the power of prayer. For all of you who know Doug Kensrue, and even if you don't...please pray without ceasing for him this week.  He has a tumor in his brain that is pressing on his communication center in his frontal lobe.  Pray that his family has a peace that surpasses all understanding throughout this week as they prepare Doug for surgery tonight or Wednesday.  Pray for the Doctors to have patience and steady hands.  Pray for the Doctors wisdom.  Pray for the family to feel love and support from those surrounding them.  God is MIGHTY TO SAVE AND TO HEAL.

"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of him" (1 John 5:14-15).

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7).

"…The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective" (James 5:16).

"And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints" (Ephesians 6:18).

"In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express" (Romans 8:26).
