Dear Praying Friends,
It feels like this month has flown! I pray that you have experienced renewed hope as we all continue to pray for our Nation and our world. I’m not sure that this assignment to encourage others to pray with me is over. I’m trying to be obedient to the call of the Lord and I would appreciate your prayers for wisdom. Jesus’ disciples asked Him to teach them to pray. I want to always have this prayer in my heart: “Lord, teach me to pray!” I believe He has much to teach us! Let’s keep praying and believing! Blessings, Gina
Bible readings and prayer “starters” for June 26-30, 2023
Monday, June 26, 2023 Bible reading: Ephesians 1:22-23
Prayer Pointer: “There are many definitions for revival. For the Christian, they all revolve around experiencing the Presence of Christ in a fresh, new way. My friend, David Bryant, has often said that the Second Coming of Christ will be the greatest revival, because it will be the clearest expression of the Presence of Christ. Until that time, though, the Spirit of Christ will continue to stir us up to pray for an even greater longing for His Presence.” Dave Butts in Dwelling in God’s House
Prayer “starter”: Lord, help me to have a greater revelation of Your Lordship over all things. You are the “Head” of my Church (name it!) Help us to place everything in Your charge. Forgive us for the places that we have forgotten that Your Church is YOURS not ours! Fill me, fill us with Your Spirit! (add your own prayers) SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD!
Journal/application question: How can I trust the Lord with more of my life and concerns? Ask His help in doing this.

Prayer pointer: “We often think of the event and corporate aspect of revival and that is a very valid and profitable viewpoint. What, though, of the possibility of personal revival as a continuous way of life, as we learn to live daily in His House? There are so many passages of scripture that speak of this exciting and transformative lifestyle of dwelling in the Lord’s House.” ~Dave Butts in Dwelling in God’s House
Prayer “starter”: Lord, teach me, my church (name it), my family (name those that come to mind) what it means to dwell in Your House daily. I long to walk in personal revival every day! Refresh and renew my devotional life so that I am seeking You in all things! (add your own prayers) SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD!

Prayer “starter”: Lord, help me to understand in a deeper way that Your timing is best. Forgive me for the times when I have moved outside Your timing and your plan to seek my own plans.

(add your own prayers) SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD!
