Subjects for prayer: Thursday 26th December 2013
Today’s Bible reading: Acts 3:1-8
Peter and John went to the Temple one afternoon to take part in the three o’clock prayer service. As they approached the Temple, a man lame from birth was being carried in. Each day he was put beside the Temple gate, the one called the Beautiful Gate, so he could beg from the people going into the Temple. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for some money.
Peter and John looked at him intently, and Peter said, “Look at us!” The lame man looked at them eagerly, expecting some money. But Peter said, “I don’t have any silver or gold for you. But I’ll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk!”
Then Peter took the lame man by the right hand and helped him up. And as he did, the man’s feet and ankles were instantly healed and strengthened. He jumped up, stood on his feet, and began to walk! Then, walking, leaping, and praising God, he went into the Temple with them.
SPAIN:
So soon it is Boxing Day, (no real equivalent in Spain) and Christmas is over. We now look forward in hope to a New Year with new situations, new challenges and newly won souls for Jesus Christ.
Heavenly Father, as we move towards the end of another year, we look to You for guidance, for strength, health and support in all that we do, in Your Holy Name. Father, we thank You that You have been with us every step of the way in 2013, and we have faith that will be the same as we seek Your will and serve You in 2014.
We continue to pray for L, she is very ill and has gone to England with her son. We thank God, that her family are taking responsibility. We continue to pray for a miracle of healing and health in her life.
Loving Heavenly Father, we lift up L to You in prayer, because we know that You are capable, and powerful in all things. That when there seems little hope, You say otherwise and give hope to all people, through Jesus Christ your Son, who healed the blind, the lame and the sick, even raising people from the dead. We pray that you will strengthen and surround her family as they care for her in the UK. Bless them, Lord, in Jesus Name, Amen.
