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 JANUARY 17, 2025
FBC Day of Prayer Friday, January 17, 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
In Psalm 139: 13- 16 we find these words of hope!
For you created my inner being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful; I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in a secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. NIV
Today we are focusing on our friend, our colleague, and our brother in Christ, - Chris Beck!
Today we are praying for Chris, his wife, Melanie, and his daughters, Emelia and Savannah. Chris soon will begin chemotherapy and radiation to shrink his brain tumor. The tumor is inoperable because of its location. Also pray for his oncologist and medical personnel who will be working with him. Pastor Ronny has encouraged us to Read and Pray the following scriptures:
Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a helper who is always found in times of trouble.
Psalm 121:1- 2 I lift my eyes toward the mountains. Where will my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Luke 1:37 For nothing will be impossible with God.”
Romans 8:28 We know that all things work together[a] for the good[b] of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.
There are many names of God in the Old Testament. The one we want to declare to you today is Jehovah Rapha- the God who heals !
Exodus 15:26 He said, “If you will carefully obey the Lord your God, do what is right in his sight, pay attention to his commands, and keep all his statutes, I will not inflict any illnesses on you that I inflicted on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.”
Ask Jehovah Rapha to heal Chris Beck, believing we serve a God of miracles!!
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
