Hey pastor friend, what has been a “wow” for you today, yesterday, last week? Where did you see God at work?
Sunday nights at Boones Creek Bible Church includes an intentional time of corporate prayer. This includes up to ten praises and requests on the screens and then asking an individual to take one praise or request to the Throne of Grace using a handheld mic so all can join their hearts in prayer as well.
This past Sunday night the items for praise/prayer were on the screen. The final one was to pray for our upcoming Fall Festival outreach event. When I asked who would pray, my six year-old grandson immediately raised his hand. Wow!
Here’s the content of his prayer without any coaching from his mom seated next to him:
“Jesus, help people to get saved at the Fall Festival and help people to come. If anybody doesn’t know you, Lord, draw them to You. Thanks for the opportunity that we got to come here today. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.”
Wow!
My grandson, born at 24 weeks, has overcome many obstacles and deals with cerebral palsy did not let his handicap affect his heart or tongue! Wow!
Who has modeled talking to God to him? Where did Shiloh learn to pray? From listening and watching adults . . . his parents, grandparents, folks in small group, SS teachers, Sunday morning and Sunday evening cooperate prayer, times of prayer at his home, etc.
There are many things that we desire for Shiloh, but as he grows in the grace and knowledge of Christ, may the best be . . . a man of prayer!
Wow! Just wow!! Thank You, Lord!! May his tribe increase!!
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 19:14)
