Rely on God

We think you ought to know, dear brothers and sisters, about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia. We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely on God, who raises the dead. (2 Corinthians 1:8-9 NLT)

Today's prayer topics:

• Pray we never allow our limited view of difficulties to divert our reliance upon God or our faith in what's possible.
• When challenges take our breath away, pray we focus on the One who is the breath of life with the power to overcome. 
• Week 13 in the campaign FOR EMMANUEL. Pray for givers and receivers alike to rely upon God who speaks with clarity and power.

Thank you for praying.

Never give up unless it's praise we give up to God; never give in except to give in to him.
