Prayer Explosion for Our Schools

Recognizing the power of prayer, we should pray without ceasing, we should pray and not faint, and PUSH -- Pray Until Something Happens.  The week of November 2-8 has been designated as a time of prayer for our schools; i.e., for all the school workers, the students, and their parents.  Our three part challenge to all is to 1) pray this prayer at least three times, 2) share it with at least one other person, and 3) invite at least one person to attend the Prayer Explosion for Our Schools service at 9:31 on Sunday, November 8th at The Guiding Light Church in Birmingham.

PRAY -- Father God, touch the hearts of all who are in our schools.  Raise up a generation of men, women, and children who seek your face, and are filled with peace, wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.  Our schools are transformed, not only as we pray and stand, but also as we speak, act on and fight for the truth of Your Word.  Thank you for an increasing measure of love and unity throughout our schools.  Lord, here I am, empower and use me for your service.  In the name of Jesus, I pray.  Amen.

SCRIPTURE -- "When they see among them their children, the work of my hands, they will keep my name holy; they will acknowledge the holiness of the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.  Those who are wayward in spirit will gain understanding; those who complain will accept instruction.”
