Pray at all times

Let your hope keep you joyful, be patient in your troubles, and pray at all times. (Romans 12:12 GNB)

Today's meditation:

• The new academic year before us is full of hope and joy, but it will have its share of troubles, too. May we move seamlessly from prayers of praise and thanksgiving to prayers of petition and intercession, all of which move the heart of God. 

Pray today:

• For a steady focus on our goals, for persistence in prayer to power through obstacles, for unquenchable hope and endless joy to lift our hearts, for the presence of the Holy Spirit to carry us throughout the year.

Our prayers make a difference in our outcomes. Please continue to pray over the list below that focuses on key needs at Emmanuel College. 

“. . .they raised their voices together in prayer to God.” (Acts 4:24 NIV)
