I confess that one of my life-long struggles in the Christain faith is a consistent prayer life. My progress might be compared to automobile traffic in Los Angeles. Sometimes everything is going along smoothly at posted speeds, but all too often I’m stuck in what appears to be a gigantic parking lot, making no progress at all (Here’s a hint: If you ever visit LA, stay off the freeways during rush hour, which is most of the time, but I digress). To be honest, my prayer for you all borders on the sinful, since it used to bear all the signs of benign neglect (which is admittedly a politcally correct way of saying, um…neglect).
Thankfully, Johnny came to my rescue. He devised a Graham Prayer Journal for us! It is designed to pray for three church families every day as well as one section of Graham ministries every day. If you follow the journal you’ll pray for all church ministries every week and all Graham families and missionaries every two months.
This has been really helpful to me personally. I’m no longer stuck in LA traffic. I’ve graduated to Michigan roads now. Sure every now and then I’m stuck in traffic going nowhere quick, and yes, I have to deal with a lot of potholes and the roads aren’t everything I’d like them to be, but most of the time I’m going at posted speeds.
Thanks Johnny! You rock!
You can pick up your copy of the Graham Church Prayer Journal in the church office. It takes only a few minutes of prayer each day. Wouldn’t it be really cool if we were all praying for the same three or four Graham families every day!
