Prayer...It's Not About You!

THE JR. HIGH LOCK-IN WAS POSTPONED TO THE FOLLOWING FRIDAY...
JULY 18

Hello Parents!
Tonight was another solid night! This week for me has been nothing short of difficult, I probably more than anyone else, needed this time with our God. Tonight we embarked on a 3 week journey in which we will take a closer look at the Lord's Prayer. Tonight was part 1..."It's Not About You". I talked about the first couple of lines of the Lord's Prayer and how they deal with who God is. Too many times we think God is our genie, we just run to Him when we need something. Tonight I really challenged that way of thinking. God is so much more than a genie, and if we want to connect with the God of the universe through prayer we have to realize when we pray it's not about us but it's all about Him!

My heart for the next 2 weeks is that as a community, our prayer lives would grow deeper. That we would acknowledge who God is, and that we would not casually run into His presence! Please in your prayers, ask God to continue to reveal Himself to us. Please pray for me as I am leaving early tomorrow morning...Thursday July 10, to go to Ohio for a funeral of a family member!
