House of Prayer

I arrived at our new church building at 3 am to open the building for those who had signed up to participate in our 40 hour prayer vigil.  Members of our church will come and go today and tomorrow during all hours to intercede for the various ministries of our church and for the newcomers yet to discover our church and our Jesus.
This place is permeated with a Spirit of prayer at this hour.  I pray for the pray-ers who come as they pray for the many places, people and purposes of our church in the work of God's kingdom.
As he grew older, Samuel seemed to place growing emphasis on the ministry of praying for God's people; so much so that he said, "Far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by failing to pray for you" (1 Samuel 12:23).
Pray for God's people; for His Church.  It's something we can do at any age and it is desperately needed these days.
