Day 4

Forty Days of Prayer for Our Country- Day 4

Scripture:
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. 
Ephesians 3:20-21

Thought for the day:
"Beware in your prayers, above everything else, of limiting God: not only by unbelief, but by thinking that you know what he can do.  Expect unexpected things 'above all that we ask or think.'"  Andrew Murray


Prayer:
Oh Lord I do believe but help my unbelief.  Deliver me from the fault of thinking that you can only do what I have seen you do before.  Help me in the middle of the great problems of the world and of my country to believe that you are still in control and that Jesus is and will be the answer to those problems.  In the darkness around me, help me to aways see the One who is the light of the world - Jesus.   Help me to believe he will do more than I can imagine.   Amen.

Prayer Points for Today:
- Pray that we would be people of faith in a world of doubt, that we would believe God for things unseen.
- Pray that we would hear the Word of God and the Spirit of God above the voices of the pundits and the commentators and even the candidates so that we would do His will.

Memory Verse for the Week:
"If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all."  Isaiah 7:9  Can you say it yet?  Give it a try now.

Challenge for the Week - Voter Registration
The last day to register to vote for the November 6 election is October 9.  Do you know someone who is eligible but might not be registered to vote?  A child who is at least 18 by election day?  A grandchild?  A student who is away at college?  A new neighbor?  Ask, encourage, and equip them.  We have a few voter registration cards in the church office.

There is less than a week to be registered to vote, now is the time to encourage those who might not be registered.
