Sincerely Seek Him

It is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. (Hebrews 11:6 NLT)

Today's prayer topics:

• Pray for greater faith throughout the Emmanuel family, yes, for God-pleasing faith.
• Pray we are careful to genuinely call upon the Lord, not merely with lip service, but deeply and with heart service.
• Week 11 in the campaign FOR EMMANUEL. Pray for generous responses to continue and to grow as we intensify our praying and our faith.

Thank you for praying.

Never give up unless it's praise we give up to God; never give in except to give in to him.

Resources Flow at His Command

I will open up rivers for them on the high plateaus. I will give them fountains in the valleys. I will fill the desert with pools of water. Rivers fed by springs will flow across the parched ground. I am doing this so all who see this miracle will understand what it means - that it is the Lord who has done this.  (Isaiah 41:18 & 20 NLT)

Today's prayer topics:

• Pray for people to flow in our direction in response to God's command. Some to enroll. Others to pray. Still others to give.
• Pray for miracle-believing faith in God who specializes in the impossible like when he thaws the cold, stubborn heart of man, allowing passion to flow again.
• Week 11 in the campaign FOR EMMANUEL. Rivers, fountains, pools, springs. Students, faculty, friends, benefactors. Pray for an infusion of rich resources to break the drought. 

Answered prayer:

• Thank God for projected growth in enrollment this fall. God is expanding our mission to reach more and more students and we are grateful.
• Thank God for those who are spreading the word about this blog. Hundreds are praying each day as a result. We are asking for thousands. Please encourage others to subscribe and join us in prayer each day (www.prayforemmanuel.blogspot.com).  

Thank you for praying.

Never give up unless it's praise we give up to God; never give in except to give in to him.

God Meets the Need

When the poor and needy search for water and there is none, and their tongues are parched from thirst, then I, the Lord, will answer them. I, the God of Israel, will never abandon them. (Isaiah 41:17 NLT)

Today's prayer topics:

• When resources are thin, pray we remember he never abandons us - not today, not tomorrow, not ever.
• Pray we relax in knowing that God understands our need better than we do and is sending an answer to our prayers.
• Week 11 in the campaign FOR EMMANUEL. Pray God sends a flood of resources our way.

Answered Prayer:

Thank you for praying.

Never give up unless it's praise we give up to God; never give in except to give in to him.

Pray and Receive

"So I tell you to believe that you have received the things you ask for in prayer, and God will give them to you. When you are praying, if you are angry with someone, forgive him so that your Father in heaven will also forgive your sins." (Mark 11:24-25 NCV)

Today's prayer topics:

• Pray for faith that erases doubt and frees us to receive what we dare to ask.
• As we ask specific men and women to help us in our need, pray for faith to rise up in them to believe God is at work making the impossible possible.
• Week 10 in the campaign FOR EMMANUEL. We pray for right relationships, to forgive and be forgiven, which miraculously releases the flow of God's blessing.

Thank you for praying.

Mountain-moving Prayer

Then Jesus said to the disciples, "Have faith in God. I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, 'May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart." (Mark 11:22-23 NLT)

Today's prayer topics:

• Pray boldly and speak to every mountain-sized challenge standing in the way: "Be defused. Be neutralized. Be removed. Now."
• Pray we subjugate our doubt to faith in God and believe, really believe, he can do anything, even the thing we struggle to believe for.
