Today's meditation:
- Some circumstances appear to be endless, and even if they are, our place is to follow the Lord obediently, patiently, faithfully, until the day he chooses for our rescue and healing arrives.
Pray today:
- For the continuation of services on campus for New Beginnings spiritual emphasis, for every song, for every word, for every prayer, for the Holy Spirit to guide the lost to Jesus, for the discouraged to be lifted up through hope in Jesus.
- For the Scholars' Day recruiting event today on campus, focusing on the School of Christian Ministries, for God's call to full-time Christian ministry to be heard by those he is calling, for Emmanuel to prepare more men and women for Christian service.
Day 19 of 31 days of intense prayer and fasting for Emmanuel College. The LIST below will continue to be REVISED (highlighted) in the final half of the month to reflect more specific needs and people to pray for. Please use it as a prayer guide. Be led by the Spirit.
