I've just returned home from prayer at the church... tonight was our night of prayer. I had a very positive experience during this time. The first hour was prayer for those who are lost in their sins (who do not know Jesus as their Savior). I reflected again on the book of Luke (chapter 15) and was drawn to the rejoicing that occurs when someone who was lost and now is found (forgiven of their sins). More emphasis is spent on the rejoicing of one's salvation, rather than focusing on their lostness (is this a word?). After reading the Bible, a time was spent in listening to songs of worship, and then a time of prayer.
The next hours were spent praying for each person and family of the Crossroads Congregation. This took a while, but I enjoyed it! I was blessed to call by name each person and to pray for their needs, and to spend time thanking God for each person. I am encouraged by the time spent this evening in prayer and I am excited for what God is doing in our midst. I am grateful for Devin W. for following God's prompting to lead this night of prayer.
