Listening to the World, Listening to the King

           “And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” Matthew 21:22 (ESV)


          God calls us to speak to Him through prayer, providing a foundation for a closer relationship with our creator. Every Thursday I will post world and national events for you to pray for. By praying for others around us, not only do we acknowledge their need, but also acknowledge our need for Christ to come into our lives.

      Beginning in August, Hurricane Isaac pushed its way through the north Gulf Coast, affecting Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas. After houses were flooded and destroyed, many were left homeless and distraught. It was forecasted a 40 percent chance Hurricane Isaac’s remnants could form a tropical cyclone.  
     Pray for those affected by Hurricane Isaac, for those who lost their homes and for less disastrous results from Hurricane Isaac’s remnants.

     As the 2012 Presidential election progresses nearer, Mitt Romney and Barack Obama fight to earn votes.
    Pray that whoever is chosen for president, that God leads him to serve our country in the best way possible and that he makes all choices with the America’s best interest in mind.

     Yesterday, an unknown shooter fired at and killed four people in the French Alps. Two of the deceased were the parents of two young girls. The girls were with their parents during the shooting, but were only injured.
     Pray for the two young girls that have lost their parents. Pray that these girls are able to find relatives or someone that will take care of them in this time of crisis. Also, pray for the others killed in the shooting and for their loved ones mourning their deaths. Pray that the killer is found so that he/she doesn't harm anyone else.
