Hope Fellowship Community Church

We have started our prayer initiative entitled Praying4America. We received over 50 commitment cards to pray everyday for the requests given in the prayer guides.

My hope is that we all realize the true meaning and power of prayer being a channel to allow God's power and Spirit to fill us and work through us in our lives. So many times we use it as a forum to ask God for help, plead with him about our problems and beg him for more chances when we mess up. If we can realize that it is something we use to connect with him and open up the communication lines then we can allow him to permeate our lives and transform us into his image. It is like using a hose to water the garden. It is not the hose that brings the life to the plants but the water from the source that we have allowed to pass through the hose and give the much needed moisture.

I have my map and I will pray for the requests that I have committed to pray for, but my hope is that I am opening myself up to allow God inside to change me and to empower me with his Spirit.

"Prayer is not about the church. The focus must be on seeking God and knowing him, not on seeking what he can do for us."
