Hello, my friends, and thank you for joining me for another Pray Together episode. I have a little bit of

sad news for you today. This episode and next week's episode are the last two prayed together episodes

that I'll be publishing. My role as a lead pastor at a church these days is taking up so much of my time,

and I feel that some things have to be

set aside in these Pray Together episodes, though I love them, are one of the things that I'm no

longer going to have time to do. So if you have a request that you would like on next week's

Pray Together episode, you may still submit it by going to MorningMins mindsetmedia.com slash prayer. I suspect next

week's episode may be quite a large one, but after that, I will not be publishing any more of these

Pray Together episodes. Thank you for all the time, all the attention that you have given to

prayer requests from brothers and sisters around the world these past few years

as we've been doing this. I pray you would continue to lift up the believers in Christ who

listen to the morning mindset and that God's word would go forth in everything that we do.

Lord God, we begin our time of prayer, just thanking you for being a God who hears our prayers.

Prayer can seem like such a mysterious thing, this silent thing we do in our mind so often,

trying to reach out to the God of creation who has done everything to bring us into fellowship with himself through Jesus Christ. We just know that

the mystery of prayer is great. The power of prayer is great. Through Jesus Christ, you have given

us access to come boldly into your throne though we were

once traitors turned away from you in rebellion and sin rejecting everything you had taught us and

had given us to obey but yet because of your great, you sent your son and he died on the cross.

He was buried for our sake. Leaving our sin behind, he rose from the grave. And he lives

victoriously, imputing his righteousness and kingdom citizenship on any who will come to him in repentance and in belief, Lord.

We pray that you would strengthen our faith, that you would give us the ability to serve you
