DAY 1 (SUN., 10/16):


This week's prayer guide was prepared by Dan.  In addition, each week Jason Baker will provide a Family Devotional that can be used by the whole family.


MEDITATION:   "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.   Come near to God and he will come near to you" - James 4:7-8

PR (Praise), IN (Intercession), CF (Confession), SG (Spiritual Growth), MN (Ministry Needs)

 SG:  Father, we ask that over the next 40 days we will be able to surrender ourselves more completely to you through this prayer campaign.  Give us a hunger for your presence and power in our life;   grant us an appetite for your Word;  awaken a thirst in our heart for your Spirit.   Lord, purge us from pride, and give us victory over sin in our lives, that we might draw closer to you.

SG:   In return, Father, we ask that you draw even closer to us, as we draw near to You;  we ask that through your Spirit you will grant us a deeper sense of Your presence in our lives in the days ahead.   Help our souls become strong as we focus on You.

MN:  Bless the ministry of our Growth Groups today as we discuss Your plan for our marriages.  Lord, we ask your blessing on every couple and every family in this church, and we pray that these 40 Days will strengthen our relationships.
