Happy New Year!

January 3rd, is the First Thursday of the month. We will meet in Carrollton and Dallas for prayer. In Rockwall there will be prayer this Sunday (the normal second Sunday), January 13th. Each month since May 2010 we have taken the first Thursday of the month to stop and pray for our nation, leaders and revival. Today our Nation observes a national day of mourning for President George H.W. Bush. Pray that this will bring healing and unity to our nation. The one constant is that the Gospel of Jesus has the ability to change the way people think and act! In short: Jesus is the answer. We need prayer! We currently have THREE locations:

• Carrollton City Hall – Will meet on Thursday, January 3rd at noon.
• HOBI International, Dallas – will meet on Thursday, January 3rd at noon
• Rockwall – meets on the second Sunday of each month – January 13th

In Carrollton, meet by the flag poles in front of City Hall at noon.  Prayer is from noon to 12:30. In case of rain we will move under the stairs by the entrance to the city hall. Weather permitting, I typically arrive early and eat lunch by the flag poles. So if you are able, come early and join me.

In Dallas we meet at HOBI International (7601 Ambassador Dr, Dallas). Security access to the building is required. If you plan to attend that meeting, please contact Craig Boswell in advance. Prayer this month is from noon to 12:30PM. If you are coming, please arrive early to clear security. As a reminder, this month the meeting is Wednesday, October 3rd.

In Rockwall prayer is on the second Sunday of each month at Rockwall Bible Church (http://www.rockwallbible.org) from 7-8PM. This month it is January 13th.

The suggested ACTS (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication) verses this month are:

Adoration

I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
I will be glad and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. (Psalm 9:1-2)

Confession

Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. (Galatians 5:19-23)

Thanksgiving

I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
For your steadfast love is great to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds. (Psalm 57:9-10)

Supplication

Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:5-7)

If you are unable to attend in person, we hope you’ll take time from your busy schedule to pray for our nation, leaders and revival in our churches.
