Welcome to the 30 Days of Prayer home page! During the next 30 days we will be taking care of our soul! We encourage you to join us in strengthening our spiritual disciplines and praying for what God wants to do in our lives and in our church!
Each day Pastor Nelson will share readings for you to enjoy below. These may include stories, articles, bible verses, etc.
The balloons rose higher and higher in the sky on a crisp winters day, after being released by those who stood around the grave. The tragic loss of their young daughter, who had struggled with chronic illness, was written in the faces of the mother and father, ‘‘BAKA!” They were in the valley of Baka. That word translated literally means weeping.
The valley of ELAH is the place where the most famous story in the Bible took place. A little boy named David met the giant Goliath and ever since then it has been known as a place of courage and faith!
Most of the time when we tell the story of David we talk about what David did to Goliath. But there was something that goliath did for David that was incredibly important!
The second valley we will explore is found in Numbers 13. It is called the valley of Eshcol. This is the story of the 12 spies who were sent out to spy out the promised land that God had promised to Israel. He brought them to the border not long after leaving Egypt and placed them in the position to take what He had given them and make it their’s. When the 12 spies returned, they came with a majority report and minority report. Verse 23 says:
There is nothing more powerful we can do for our fathers than pray for them! Below are some prayer requests we have recieved so far. Please join un in praying for these men. We have not included the names of those who submitted the requests or their fathers, but God know every name and every detail for their lives!
God said,
"because the Syrians think that I am only the god of the hills and not that I am the god of the valleys, I’m going to give you victory over this huge army so everyone will know that I am the Lord!"
- 1 Kings 20:28 (NIV)
