At the Family Christian Church:

• We recognize our absolute dependence on God and our desperate need for divine intervention. 
• We believe God is urging us to call all Christians to unite in humility and repentance across ethnic and church boundaries to pray persistently for a moral and spiritual awakening in the Body of Christ. 
• We believe this will greatly advance His Kingdom in our nation and worldwide.

How To Pray?
To really learn about prayer, you must pray. Take it seriously and carve out some time each day to pray. Begin by praying, "Our Father in heaven." Let your mind focus on what it means to talk to the God of the universe as Father. Then pray to the Father about the Father. Pray about His person, "hallowed be Your name." Pray about His program, "Your kingdom come." And pray about His purpose, "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." 

Then pray to the Father about the family. Pray for provision, "Give us our daily bread." Pray for pardon, "And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us." And pray for protection, "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." 

If you let this prayer serve as your guide, you will discover that its elements have a purifying effect on what you pray for. You won't be able to pray for things that would exalt your name, advance your kingdom, or promote your will. To ask for daily bread if you're living in defiance would be like a traitor asking for strength to betray his country. You won't be able to ask God to forgive you when you are not willing to forgive someone else. And to ask God for His protection from the evil one would be contradictory if you are cultivating temptations. 

Prayer is hard work, but our communication with God is as essential to our spiritual well-being as breathing is to our physical life.

Special prayer request:

Dear Family and Friends,
 
I went to see my doctor this afternoon.  She wants to perform another D&C (my 3rd 'raspa') to check the situation of my atypical hyperplasia (ie, abnormal cells in uterus). She scheduled me this coming Saturday, Feb 14 for this daycase operation.  Based on the analysis of my uterus after the surgery, she will perform hysterectomy (removal of uterus, ovaries & cervix), when needed, on a later date.
 
So before you go out for a date on Valentine's day, I ask you to please pray with us for this another episode in my health.  Please ask God for (1) wisdom for my surgeon, anesthesiologist and other hospital staff, (2) courage and strength for me, (3) financial capacity, (4) fast recovery.
 
Thanks for your assistance. God bless !
