Your Father Knows

When you pray, don't babble on and on as people of other religions do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. Don't be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him! (Matthew 6:7-8 NLT)

Day 27 of 31 days of prayer

Today's one-sentence meditation:

• Pray specific prayers for what we think we need, and even if we ask inappropriately, the Father will give us what we actually need because he knows the difference between needs and wants.

Pray Today:

• For more than 1000 students to be enrolled at Emmanuel College in the fall 2017, just 80 more students than last fall, for the needs of these students to be met on our campus, for the College's needs to be met as we meet theirs.
• For students who have never heard of Emmanuel to find us through alumni, friends, acquaintances, Internet searches, and most importantly, promptings of the Holy Spirit.
• For students who are familiar with Emmanuel, and for those who know very little about us, to prayerfully consider enrolling, to decide to visit campus, to engage with our admissions staff, to talk to our students, staff and faculty, to obey God in this life-changing decision.

Pray First in every circumstance, challenge, and choice. Always Pray First!
