As in many churches, we have a midweek prayer service. We ask congregants to drop their prayer requests inside the box, and the contents will be prayed over during our Wednesday evening prayer time. Because some requests are personal and confidential, several do not want to drop their request inside the box, for it to be read and prayed over at a later time. They desire prayer but do not want others to be made aware of their own personal struggles and pain. There is one easy way to solve this dilemma: do not open and read the requests. Simply ask everyone to place their hand on top of the box and pray for the requests inside. After all, these requests are between the person and God; no one else needs to know. In this manner, the request, though confidential, are still prayed for.
Is your heart aching? Do you have a prayer request? Simply email me your request; we will pray over it. Better yet, you may simply write "confidential." After all, God know what it is.
If you are in the area, please join us Wednesday nights 7:00 pm.
