Adonai

In turning to God on His terms, you acknowledge that He is your Adonai, your master and owner. . . .You are essentially saying, “Lord, even as I seek to honor You with my life, I am trusting that You have my life in Your hands. Because You will take care of me, I can give myself fully to Your service and Your glory.”

Prayer works

Pray for missionaries

Use your fingers as memory aids when you pray for missions. Here's how fingers can be prayer reminders:

1. Thumb
   Since your thumb is nearest to you, begin by praying for those missionaries closest to you. They are the easiest ones to remember. C.S. Lewis said that praying for those we love is a "sweet duty."
2. Index or pointing finder
   Let your "pointing finger" remind you to pray for missionaries who teach, instruct, and heal. This includes teachers, doctors, and evangelists. They need support and wisdom for pointing others in the right direction.
3. Middle finger
   Our tallest finger reminds us of our church leaders. We can never pray too much for them. Pray for those who supervise and direct missionary outreach.
4. Ring finger
   As any piano teacher will testify, the ring finger is our weakest finger. This weaker finger reminds us to pray for those missionaries who are discouraged, in trouble, or in pain. 
5. Little finger
   Our little finger is the smallest of the digits on our hands, which is where we should place our individual wants and desires in relation to world evangelism needs. The Bible says, "The least shall be the greatest among you." Let your pinkie remind you to pray for the people of the world who have the greatest need to find Jesus. Pray that they will open their eyes and see Him.
   
        

Prayer is the key

Time to pray for our country

Pray for our nation.

Tonight the president is set to give his final State of the Union address. I can tell you the state of our union. Our nation is broken--it's broken morally; it's broken spiritually; it's broken politically; it's broken racially. The state of our union cannot be fixed unless we repent of our sins individually and ask our nation to do the same. I've just led a Decision America Tour prayer rally in the capital of Florida--#2 of 50!  Now I'm on the way to Baton Rouge to pray with the people of Louisiana for their state and this nation tomorrow at noon. Mr. President, I hope in the time you have remaining in office that you will turn to God for wisdom and direction about how to lead this nation. May your last 12 months be the best and most beneficial for this country. "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord" (Psalm 33:12).

Win or lose what matters is our relationship with God
