November Prayer Request
As we are nearing the end of 2016, we can reflect on
this amazingly different year. It was a year of chaos, dramatics changes in
worldview, in governments and even in within our hearts.
This is also a time of the year when many are hurting,
grieving, lonely, anxious and sad. Please make
some time during this month and help us to lift up those who are hurting, those that are mourning, those that are lost along with these prayer requests.
Blessed are those who mourn,
For they shall be comforted.
Matthew 5:4

A devotional by Oswald Chambers
I
say to you, he who believes in Me,…
Prayer does not equip us
for greater works— prayer is the greater work. Yet we think of prayer as some
commonsense exercise of our higher powers that simply prepares us for God’s
work. In the teachings of Jesus Christ, prayer is the working of the miracle of
redemption in me, which produces the miracle of redemption in others, through
the power of God. The way fruit remains firm is through prayer, but remember
that it is prayer based on the agony of Christ in redemption, not on my own
agony. We must go to God as His child, because only a child gets his prayers
answered; a “wise” man does not (see Matthew 11:25).
Prayer is the battle, and it makes no difference where you are. However God may engineer your circumstances, your duty is to pray. Never allow yourself this thought, “I am of no use where I am,” because you certainly cannot be used where you have not yet been placed. Wherever God has placed you and whatever your circumstances, you should pray, continually offering up prayers to Him. And He promises, “Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do…” (John 14:13). Yet we refuse to pray unless it thrills or excites us, which is the most intense form of spiritual selfishness. We must learn to work according to God’s direction, and He says to pray. “Pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest” (Matthew 9:38).
There is nothing thrilling about a laboring person’s work, but it is the laboring person who makes the ideas of the genius possible. And it is the laboring saint who makes the ideas of his Master possible. When you labor at prayer, from God’s perspective there are always results. What an astonishment it will be to see, once the veil is finally lifted, all the souls that have been reaped by you, simply because you have been in the habit of taking your orders from Jesus Christ.

Be
anxious for nothing, but with prayer and supplication,
with
Thanksgiving let your requests be made to God.
