Join Us in Prayer for our Nation, our Leaders and Topics of
Concern for the week of 12/11/15 – 12/17/15
Getting Ready
How are
you preparing for Christmas? Some bravely hang off ladders, precariously
attaching lights to every corner of the house. Others find tantalizing recipes
to delight the taste buds. Whatever your task, success may depend on one
surprising secret ingredient – humility. It’s been said that humility is
staying teachable regardless of how much you know.

I send my messenger before your face, who
will prepare your way.
Mark 1:2
|
John
the Baptist’s great mission in life was to prepare the world for the coming
Messiah…and he did a great job! He was amazingly popular, establishing a large
following of dedicated believers. Yet when Jesus arrived on the scene, instead
of pride and swagger over his accomplishments, John conveyed an “it’s not about
me” attitude. He told his loyal listeners, “He must increase but I must
decrease.” (John 3:30) At the pinnacle of his greatest success, John humbly
pointed others to Christ.
Is America prepared for the future? You can help by praying for leaders in government to be humble and to make room for Jesus in their lives and in their work. Pray, too, for fellow believers during this special season to point only to Christ in their celebration of His birth and in anticipation of His next arrival.

The Gift of Salvation
|
For
the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ
Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23
|
Christmas has become about finding
the gift everyone wants. Most have forgotten the best Christmas gift ever was
already given the very first Christmas. Today’s verse is a reminder of this
wonderful gift – the gift of eternal life. The
gift of salvation. And the best part is, it doesn’t cost a thing.
As you pray today, ask God to put people in your path that need salvation and pray for ways to share it with them. Pray also that a “stampede” would start across the nation to find God’s best Christmas gift ever.

All
prayer requests are made directly from our Presidential Prayer Leader.
We
ask you all to pray for our leaders as the scripture says.
1 Timothy 2:1-3 (KJV)
1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2 For kings, and for all
that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all
godliness and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the
sight of God our Saviour;
