A whole lotta prayin’ goin’ on
I love the old negro spirituals. This sounds like a good one. But it’s actually the story of what’s been going in our church family. There’s been a whole lot of praying going on. FBC McKinney has been so committed to private, “in your room” kind of prayer (Matthew 6:6), that we actually have a prayer room for people to access any time 24/7/365. This month we’re celebrating 20 years of prayer in our Prayer Room. Since 1987 we’ve had 9,653 people ask for prayer (by filling out a prayer card), and 18,458 people pray over those cards. Nearly 10,000 cards prayed over multiple times daily; this adds up to hundreds of thousands of prayers! That’s amazing! Our church has been marked by prayer. In fact, I’ve said it’s the most important ministry of the church- any church! This month we’ve been learning to pray like Jesus. Here’s why this is SO big. Think about it: The KEY to your Christian life is not found in what you know about God, not even what you do for God, but in the intimacy that you have with God through Christ, and the character and the qualities that are produced as a result of that one relationship. That’s the ONE thing He’s called you to. And as Oswald Chambers has noted, it’s the one thing that will be constantly under attack in your life. Are you committed to daily, consistent, intentional prayer? How are you doing? If you want to be a Kingdom person and allow His will to be done in your life, it will all start with prayer.
