Praying Together - A Day of Prayer

Show me your ways, Lord,
    teach me your paths.
Guide me in your truth and teach me,
    for you are God my Saviour,
    and my hope is in you all day long    (Psalm 25:4-5)

We see in the bible that before making major decisions, Jesus spent time in prayer, often the whole night. (Luke 6:12-13)  demonstrating the importance of intentional, quiet prayer for direction. So ahead of our ‘Vision Day’ in March, when we will be discussing the future of our church together, we also need to do so surrounded by prayer. To this end we are calling a day of prayer.   

Wednesday 18^th February
Mission, Ministry & Money! We are asking everyone to put aside some time on this day, wherever you are, or whenever you can, to seek God and his mind for the future. How can we best fulfil Gods calling on our fellowship? What about ministry in the church?  and how do we finance these?
We will produce a leaflet nearer the time to help focus your prayers, but for now:

• Ask for Wisdom: James 1:5 promises that if anyone lacks wisdom, they should ask God, who gives generously.
• Read the Bible Daily: God’s word provides direction for daily steps.
• Pray with Persistence: Matthew 7:7-11 encourages asking, seeking, and knocking to receive direction.
• Listen to the Holy Spirit: Jesus promised the Holy Spirit as a counsellor to guide believers in truth (John 14:26).
