Global Prayer Guide cover

Tomorrow (Sep 2)starts a new cycle of praying through the Global Ministries Prayer Guide. I reference my guide each morning before I head off to work at the church.

I peruse the prayer requests to pause and to pray for God to answer the requests provided. Then I try to send an email to the person(s) highlighted. Just to let them know that I am praying for them.

I don't send an email everyday. Most times I forget. But I would like to send an email each day for this next cycle of prayer.As Paul challenged the believers in the Ephesian church, "With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints (Ephesians 6:18)." So be alert and persevere in prayer for the people listed in this guide.

In Ephesians 6:19, Paul states his plea for the saints to pray for him. I can imagine our missionary partners saying the same thing. "And don't forget to pray for me. Pray that I'll know what to say and have the courage to say it at the right time, telling the mystery to one and all, the Message that I, jailbird preacher that I am, am responsible for getting out (The Message)." 

As Grace Brethren International Ministries challenges, "Take the Global Prayer Walk." Please pick up your copy of the Guide at the Wooster Grace Brethren Church.  You can also sign up today for the PrayNow daily emails or get one tweet via Twitter.  These highlight more current requests for the person(s) listed. Let me know in the comments whether you use the printed guide, PrayNow daily emails, or Twitter.  I use all three to remind me to pray. I guess I need more reminders. :)
