CALL TO PRAYER
“Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” Colossians 4:2, NIV
The Salvation Army Call to Prayer line for November 25 2008.
“Prayer isn’t just asking God for something we want. Prayer should also include confession of sin, and praise to God for who He is and what He has done for us.
Prayer should have an additional element, and that is thanksgiving. Repeatedly the Bible commands us to give thanks. The Psalmist said, “Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever” (Ps 107:1)
It’s easy to be thankful when God blesses us with something good—swift recovery from an illness, for example, or an advancement at work. But the Bible says we should “give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for us in Christ Jesus” (1 Thess 5:18 NIV)” (Hope for Each Day)
1. Pray for those being affected by the world wide economic crises. May our leaders find quick solutions to reverse the current trends and restore our country to prosperity and peace. Pray for those families being affected by the loss of their homes and jobs.
2. Pray for President George W. Bush and the remaining weeks of his administration and for President-elect Obama as he selects his new administration. May divine wisdom and grace guide each decision leading to peace and prosperity for the world. Pray for the President and President elect! Prayerteam@Presidentialprayerteam.net

Fountain Family
Please lift up our church in your prayers. There has been a problem with gossip and an individual decided last Sunday to leave the church. Many more are considering leaving. May the Lord intervene in the lives of those affected and to the individual(s) who are spreading this deadly poison. Pray for us as we confront people.
I'm reminded of what the Apostle John encountered in 3 John 1: 9-10>
9I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will have nothing to do with us. 10So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, gossiping maliciously about us. Not satisfied with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church.
