Every month we will have a monthly
prayer topic. We want to encourage you to pray along with us since one
puts a thousand to flight and two puts ten thousand to flight. If
you have prayer requests, please send them to info@center31.com, so we
can stand with you.
What
a privilege to have access to Divine help, no matter where you are. Our
Heavenly Father is within reach as we sincerely seek Him and call on His
Name.
No matter where you are or what your situation,
if you ask of Father God in
faith, believing He will answer according to the Bible, He will be
there! This
gives such peace to us as we truly rely on God.
Here
is a sample card for you to pray daily for 4
groups of people around you. Below are 4
topics for you to pray concerning those around you, trust God to do a
new
thing in each person that you come into contact with.

Do you want to make a difference in the lives of
your children, grandchildren, nephews and nieces?
I was recently reading a book about how God
delivered Liane Brown from the invasion of Germany in 1944. There was no
deliverance, except from Almighty God.
Their family sought refuge with an old Pastor
who held a Bible Study every evening, where strangers came in to find
sanctuary. As Liane was faced with dire situations, she realized her need for
the True Savior. Liane, who previously felt that she was righteous and not a
sinner, at age 11 comprehended that she needed to bow her knee to the Living
God and trust HIM ALONE for salvation. As a preteen she had to choose to serve
God for herself. She earnestly prayed and found the comfort and peace of
Jehovah Shalom in the midst of severe danger.
As I read on, I understood the need for us to
truly humble ourselves before God and grasp the fact the God alone can save us.
Sometimes we are just proud and we insist on our own way, which doesn’t produce
the best result. I was reminded of this Scripture:
2 Chronicles 7:14 (Amp) “If My people, who are called
by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of
necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then
will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.”
We must teach our children to trust in God and
show them how to pray. Our society tells us to let people know what we want, go out and
get it - make it happen. God wants us to HUMBLE ourselves and PRAY. His ways
and thoughts are superior to ours.
Deut. 6:2 (Amp) “That you may
[reverently] fear the Lord your God, you and
your son and your son's son, and keep all His
statutes and His commandments which I command you all the days of your life,
and that your days may be prolonged.”
Make a difference! Train the young ones around
you to humble themselves and pray. Show them the results of answered prayer. What
an honor to serve the LIVING GOD! Be the example of making prayer a
natural response to every situation!
Psalm 91:14-15 (Amp) (God speaking...) “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I
deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name
[has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness--trusts and relies on
Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never]. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be
with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.”
Now is the time to seek God! Now is the time to
pray!
Now is the time to HUMBLE ourselves and our
families before our Mighty God!
