Thirty Days of Prayer for The EDGE Colorado, Day 4

Day Four

What a great week of prayer we have had so far.  

Thank you so much for continuing to lift up The EDGE.

Three prayers for today.

1)  We need to offer up some praise.  

God has been answering our prayers.

Kim Kopp has had a remarkable week, and the treatment has been going really well.  

You can read about it here: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/kimberlykopp/journal

2) We need to pray for provision.

I am sure you have seen the news, but today the stock market too a dive.  

Perhaps you called your broker, or went online to see how much you lost.

Last night at our the EDGE Executive Board Mtg., we looked at our financial health as a church.  

Briefly, we are spending about $4,000 more per month than we are bringing in.  

That is not a fun number.  But the good news is we have a big God.  

Yesterday I was reminded that worry is not only irrelevant and a waste of time, it is also disobedience to God.

3) Will you join me in praying for this next weekend.  

We want God to be glorified.  We want people to see Jesus, and to know him better.

We are studying Jonah 4, and it is a great reminder of how God loves our city.  

^{Jonah 4:2} He prayed to the LORD, "O LORD, is this not what I said when I was still at home? 

That is why I was so quick to flee to Tarshish. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, 

slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity.

Actions steps:

1) Thank God for answered prayer

2) Pray for God's provision, and specifically for those in our church who are unemployed.

3) Read Jonah 4.  http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jonah%204&version=NIV

Pray that we would grow in our love and concern for our city.  

4) Consider forwarding this email to someone you think might be interested in praying for us.

Thanks for praying,

Mark
