Prayer Requests for Week 1 July

"Ask for what you now need, and, as a rule, keep to present need; ask for your daily bread-what you want now-ask for that. Ask for it plainly, as before God, who does not regard our fine expressions, and to whom your eloquence and oratory will be less than nothing and vanity. You are before the Lord; let your words be few, but let your heart be fervent."

- by C. H. Spurgeon, "Effective Prayer"

FBC Prayer Concerns

"Almost anything associated with the ministry may be learned with an average amount of intelligent application... Sermon making can be learned as easily as shoemaking—introduction, conclusion and all. And so with the whole work of the ministry as it is carried on in the average church today.

"But prayer—that is another matter. There ... the Minister's Manual can offer no assistance. There the lonely man of God must wrestle it out alone, sometimes in fasting and tears and weariness untold. There every man must be an original, for true prayer cannot be imitated nor can it be learned from someone else."

- A.W. Tozer, God Tells the Man Who Cares, p. 69
