Join Us in Prayer for our Nation, our Leaders and Topics of
Concern for the week of 9/11/15 - 9/17/15
Big Requests
“Give
an inch, they’ll take a mile,” is an idiom meaning, “Do something for someone,
they’ll often ask for more.” An actual inch is one-twelfth of a foot, and there
are 5,280 feet in a mile – so a person who requests that much is quite bold.

“Suppose ten are found there.” He answered,
“For the sake of ten I will not destroy it.”
Genesis 18:32
|
Abraham
used that level of boldness to request mercy for Sodom when God planned to
destroy it. He pleaded, “What if there are fifty righteous people there?” God
agreed to withhold judgment for fifty. Abraham was persistent. “Suppose five of
the fifty righteous are lacking. Will you destroy the whole city for lack of
five?” (Genesis 18:28) As God agreed to spare them, Abraham continued dropping
the number until he got to ten.
God wants us to be bold in our prayers. “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16) Take your big requests to God, for yourself and especially for the rescue and salvation of others. Then boldly pray for President Obama to be courageous in his own prayer life.
