When He Prayed

Elijah was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed earnestly that no rain would fall, none fell for three and a half years! Then, when he prayed again, the sky sent down rain and the earth began to yield its crops. (James 5:17-18 NLT)

Day 5 of 21 days of prayer

Today's one-sentence meditation:

• What crazy excuses we sometimes give for not praying - not enough time, busy with work, community, family, even church - but these need our prayers the most and will yield more if we pray more.

Today's prayer topics:

• For Campus Pastor Chris Maxwell and all who work in the area of spiritual life.
• For our chapel services to be effective in stimulating spiritual growth.
• For the Pray First Initiative on our campus.
• For students, staff and faculty to pray more and for more of them to pray first.

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