Be still (Cease striving) and know that I am God.
-Psalm 46:10 a
Seek the Lord and His strength: Seek His face continually.
-I Chronicles 16:11
Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
-I Thessalonians 5:16-18
This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
-I John 5:14
The Holy Hands in Prayer Team consists of 17 people. The prayer list is updated each Tuesday and sent via e-mail to the team. Emergency prayers are sent via text message to the team. Any prayer that we are given is held in complete confidence by each team member. Names or anonymous requests are received. A request may be anonymous, and listed anonymous. I would like to know how to follow up on the request. If someone is comfortable with the prayer request being put in the daily Reflections, I will give that information to the secretary of the church. Prior to the pandemic we met together every Tuesday morning at 10:00 AM and daily at home. Now we pray at home daily.
When the Holy Hands in Prayer Team prays, these scriptures are some of the 790 Bible verses that tell us to pray, pray in worship, or praise prayers. We invite the Holy Spirit to be present with us as we pray and guide us as we pray. We seek His Word. We offer prayers of Praise and Adoration. We confess our sins and ask for forgiveness. We lift up prayers for each of the needs of our congregation. Finally, we thank the Lord for listening and responding. Prayer is the most powerful tool that God has given us to live in our world. Yet many times we don’t use this tool. We have witnessed many answers to prayer since we started this team seven years ago. Some of these have been miracles. We definitely have an awesome God.
If any of you are in need of prayer or have someone else that needs prayer, please contact me to put you on our prayer list. If you have an emergency, you can call or text me.
