Favor on Your Servant

Let your favor shine on your servant. In your unfailing love, rescue me. (Psalm 31:16 NLT)

Today's meditation:

• We should work hard, pray hard, and do all that we can in the work of the Lord, but always with the understanding that God's favor upon us can open a way where there is no way, that God's favor can move disparate hearts and minds to come together in agreement.

Pray today:

• For rescue from threats and dangers, for protection from evil and evil doers, for provision that stamps out impoverishment, for renewal that overwhelms limitations and releases creativity and innovation.
• For the discussions and decisions in the Board of Trustees meeting today, for wisdom, discernment, and favor.

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)
