Much Prayer

As I juggle my various responsibilities and favorite activities trying to get everything done in 24 hours, the one thing that I struggle to keep front and center in my life is prayer. It is so easy to let the amount of time that I spend in prayer slip because of the hectic and busy lifestyle that I live. I like busy and hectic, but maintaining balance and priorities is sometimes like trying to catch a chicken.

The most effective thing for me is corporate prayer that comes around regularly. At JBC we have a “Five Day Prayer Event” approximately every three months. There is prayer ten hours each day for the five days and I make a goal each time we have the “Five Days of Prayer” to pray for 40 hours. My faith in the power of prayer goes up a ton because of this prayer event, and my private prayer life is devoted and hot for a couple of months following.

Prayer changes things, and it changes people. The more we pray the more God works. The “Five Days of Prayer” starts on Monday morning.

    I was looking forward to the 5 days of prayer. However, we traveled to SoCal to be a part of celebrating the birth of, “Ocean Ezra” our daughter, Brianna and husband, Maceo’s first born.
    i also have some responsibilities related to my brother, Nick’s care here as well.
    i plan to be praying daily for God’s blessings on those in attendance and that the Spirit of God will hear and answer in His sovereign way their faithful intercession for JBC at home and for JBC’s related ministries worldwide.
