Prayer Requests for October 2

It has been a very eventful week and as human beings, it comes kind of naturally for some of us to let it kind of “get to us”. We need to let it “get to us” enough to cause us to fall to our knees, but we certainly don’t need to carry it as a frustration or burden since we know the God Who spoke the universe into being and continues to hold it together by His power! He is more than able to contain all the events and concerns that are going on in our economy as well as the political issues! He is more than able to call to account those who are acting in self-serving ways to “resolve” the issues at hand! And He is more than able to bring to office those of His choosing! Let’s remember that His expectation of us is that we are “found faithful”. He didn’t give us places of high prominence so we cannot effect much action in any major way. But He gave us the privilege of coming to Him in prayer and speaking with Him about our concerns and His expectation of us is that we be “faithful” in keeping these things before Him! When we do our part, then we can have peace in knowing that He WILL bring about His plan for us and for our family and for our country!

1. Pray for the issues at hand and for great wisdom for those who are making the decisions on our behalf!

2. Pray for those who are seeking for the best for our country and willing to stand for their convictions in spite of pressure to do otherwise.

3. Pray for the Vice Presidential candidates who are preparing for the debate tomorrow evening. Pray for those who are standing in the wings waiting to attack our Christian values and anyone who would dare to stand up for them.

4. Pray that God will be honored and glorified by the manner in which Gov. Palin presents herself and the way she responds to the questions that come her way.
