Last week, I told you about The Gathering: A Time of Worship for Women that my church sponsors. One thing we had at The Gathering was a prayer wall, where we invited women to leave anonymous prayer requests, like the one above, so that we could pray for them.
It’s such a privilege to be able to access God through prayer! I have to admit that I don’t always view it that way. The hymn says, “Oh, what peace we often forfeit, Oh, what needless pain we bear. All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.” I have forfeited a lot of peace over the years because I refused to pray!
I think that’s what the Apostle Paul had in mind in Philippians 4:6-7 when he invited us to make our requests known to God. He said that when we do, “the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Here are the prayer requests and praises to God we received at The Gathering. Will you join us in praying for these women and praising God for how He is working in their lives? You might not know the details of each situation, but God knows, and he is able to immeasurably more than we can ask or think! (Ephesians 3:20)
