Happy New Year! It is great to start the year praising God for His goodness and faithfulness. When we focus on the unchanging nature of God, it gives us peace and confidence for the unknown future. Psalm 92:1-2 says,
"It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night." As we begin this New Year, let us make it our goal to come in touch with the love of God each morning as we rise, and then to give thanks for His faithfulness each evening as we take our rest. His presence throughout our day will be known as we acknowledge His love and faithfulness.
As we begin this year, we again want to focus on praying for the nations. Jesus came to bring the gospel to all peoples and His goal must become our goal, to reach the nations! May the Spirit of prayer fill you with a longing to see unreached people come to salvation through the blood of Jesus. May you join in interceding for these nations and people groups that desperately need the love of Jesus.
We encourage each of you to join our annual
21 Day Breakthrough Fast which will run from January 6-26. Our theme this year is, "Lord, teaching us to pray!"
The disciples knew if they were going to do anything on earth the way Jesus did it, they better learn to pray the way Jesus prayed. Jesus was happy to respond with a pattern we now call the "Lord's prayer pattern." Over the 21 day fast we'll be praying the 7 parts of the Lord's prayer pattern found in Matthew 6. To receive encouraging emails during the fast,
sign up here. What a great way to start the year seeking the Lord!
Be Prayer-full!
