Hear My Prayer

Hear my prayer, O God. Listen to the words of my mouth.  (Psalm 54:2 NIV)

Today's meditation:

• There are prayers of appreciation, prayers over the ordinary, prayers for people, prayers about trouble, prayers that rise out of pain, prayers for the miraculous, but through it all, there is the sweet communion of conversation with our God as he listens with attentiveness as our loving Father.

Pray today:

• For prayers to continue for Emmanuel College, now more than ever.
• For more prayers, not less, for more intercession, morning, noon, and night, for the determination to pray through, not letting up in our petitions until we have finished what God started in us.
• For intensifying prayer that helps shape a powerful future for Emmanuel College as one of God's ministering agents to a desperate world in need of the Gospel.

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)
