Tonight at LakeShore we started something new!! It’s called elevate, not Elevate service, just Elevate. What it is, is a time of corporate prayer and worship. It was a great time. I honestly didn’t know how many people would show up because our early morning prayer gatherings we used to have weren’t greatly attended, but then again they were at 6:30am. My guess is that there were around 300 people that showed up to pray, seek the face of the Lord and to worship their creator. I was very pleased with the turnout and also the participation. Prayer is a powerful thing! I think sometimes we get so used to doing things on our own and we leave prayer and ultimately God out of our lives. We need to be people of Prayer. When we pray, God moves on our behalf! All in all a great night. Afterwards about 20 of went and raided Braums for some good food and ice cream!
I will leave you with the prayer focus for the Night. Our Senior Pastor challenged us to take the same prayer focus from tonight and pray one focus each day. The focus came from the acrostic WATCH. I am not a big fan of acrostics but he is… so here it is
1. World – Prayer for missionaries, Peace of Jerusalem and World Issues
2. America – Prayer for Our Goverment and Country
3. The Lost – Prayer for our lost friends, family members and coworkers
4. Church – Prayer for Church leadership and unity in the body
5. Home – Prayer for marriages, children and unity in the home
