Prayers

  • I'm praying for my fire to come back. The fire I had when I first became a follower of Jesus and I was experiencing joy and expecting miracles every day. I'm praying for a feeling of certainty, and that He would remove the cloud of confusion over my head. I'm praying to know God's will and His direction, even if it's only a step at a time. I'm praying for His provision, not just for my needs, but even for my wants...so that I may be able to steward my finances wisely and use what I have to bless others more. I'm praying for my family and believing that this is the year that they will be saved. I'm praying for my own future family. That I would be patient in waiting, but also expectant, that I would know with full confidence by faith that God can grant me the desires of my heart, even if I don't see how these will come to pass. And I pray to be able to release my burdens and worries...that I may be able to experience His comfort, rest, and love. -

  • Recognizing in belief that my God is able to do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine... LORD, please save, secure, and deliver the family member and friends I have been praying for so so long. Keep us humble and contrite. Give us a clarity of sight that silences pride and inflames our peace and godly Love for you and others. Let the billions of people that will be saved still be too few - let as many as possible be saved. -- In the beginning of 2008, during a group prayer in which I asked for help with my novel, a word was given to my friend: "God's going to make the sun stand still for you." I asked You, LORD, for guidance about what that meant, but I got the idea You were saying your were going to make it work... Your miraculous way! So, according to Your will, use my book to bring as many people into the Kingdom as possible and to unimaginably strengthen the brothers and sisters already within it. Please guide me to the right publisher, and give me the endurance, hope, discernment, faith, and Love to do your will. Keep me steadfast in humility and Grace. Because I know You are the Word, and You are Salvation. And so You deserve all honor and credit for everything good that results from your Word -- whether it been in book form or spoken, artwork or songs, prayer or preaching. Please complete your purpose for me. And all in your Kingdom. And unify us into one Church again with Your Word. And: Grant me and my brothers and sisters each an unimaginably, sanctified marriage in Your wisdom and Love. Be my Everlasting Love. Be our Everlasting Love. Be my Everlasting Love... and let the world be transformed by the Love they see between us. Let the hearts of scoffers thaw and fill with your Son...! In Jesus Loving, Holy Name, Amen! -

  • So God has called me to go from a janitor at a church to one day be a Church-Planter. I have a few families that believe in my calling, and ready to go with me. My "Sun Stand Still" prayer, is that God would start guiding me in the way we should go. We are several hundred miles away from our destination with little funds, and lots of small kids, but to God our problems are tiny. He controls the wind and the waves and the sun. Thanks Elevation, we have never been to that Church before, but the church body is a Force behind Jesus. Casey -

“Does the brand of faith you live by produce the kinds of results in your life that you read about in the biblical stories of men and women of faith? Chances are, not even close.” But it doesn’t have to stay that way. In Sun Stand Still, Steven Furtick challenges you to believe that the audacious faith that we see in the Bible, the faith that caused a man to pray and see the sun stand still in the sky, is the same faith we can claim for ourselves today. This is more than just another book. It’s a call to all of us to begin living the life of audacity God has created and saved us for.
