EVERY FRIDAY IS PRAYER DAY
We had a great initial day of prayer with over 250 people taking 15 minutes from their day to pray for God to work in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis. We are praying for our church, our community and our country. We are praying for those affected by the virus and those in the heath field who are serving so faithfully and sacrificially.
Our Pastor has called us to continue this effort and make every Friday a Day of Prayer. Those who have signed up have committed to continue. We invite you to join us. No need to sign up, just pray. We ask you to set aside 15 minutes during the day to stop and pray. A new prayer guide will be posted here each Thursday to help direct your prayer time.
Of course, every day is a day for us to pray. We are reminded to continually be in a spirit of prayer.
2 Chronicles 7:14
”And if my people, who bear my name, humble themselves, pray and seek my face, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.”
FBC PRAYER LETTER for december 12, 2025
FBC Day of Prayer Friday, December 12, 2025
“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” II Chronicles 7:14
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you, for everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and the one who knocks; the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8
Thank you for praying for Pastor Ronny and Cole McCartney. They have returned safely from Israel. Pastor Ronny will give a report of their trip on Wednesday night, December 17, after the Christmas Dinner.
Today we are praying for each other as we prepare for Christmas! What are your traditions regarding preparations at Christmas? A freshly cut pine tree with decorations! Stockings hung over the fireplace mantle! Gifts wrapped under the tree. What preparations have you made for Jesus coming into your circumstances this December? For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. Titus 2: 11-13 defines for us how we should prepare. Perhaps you need five minutes to sit in stillness and silence to allow the Lord to say to you “Do you know how much I love you?”
This Saturday and Sunday is our 24-hour prayer time. Over 80 people have selected one hour to pray from 8:15 am Saturday, December 13, 2025, to 7:15 am Sunday, December 14, 2025. Using prepared Prayer Points, they will pray for our church, our city, and our county. If you would like to participate, contact Bill Graham today at 931-320-2164 or bgraham0829@cs.com so he can send you the Prayer Points.
If you would like to share a Prayer Request that we can join you in praying for, go to fbct.org/prayer. You will find a form at the bottom of the page that can be easily and quickly filled out and submitted with your praise or request. These requests will be sent to the prayer team of intercessors. As the Lord answers your request, share your praise in the same form. May we abide in the love of God, the grace of Jesus, and the fellowship of The Holy Spirit.
Yours in Christ,
Bill Graham
