About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. – Acts 16:25

Day 24 – The Prayer Cafe “31 Day Challenge”
Day 24
Praise awaits you, O God, in Zion; to you our vows will be fulfilled. O you who hear prayer, to you all men will come. – Psalm 65:1-2
“In God’s name I beseech you let prayer nourish your soul as your meals nourish your body. Let your fixed seasons of prayer keep you in God’s presence through the day, and His presence frequently remembered through it be an ever-fresh spring of prayer. Such a brief, loving recollection of God renews a man’s whole being, quiets his passions, supplies light and counsel in difficulty, gradually subdues the temper, and causes him to possess his soul in patience, or rather gives it up to the possession of God.” – Francois Fenelon
Let us pray:
Father, thank you for these 24 days of journeying with you in this prayer challenge. You have given us wonderful teaching, examples, and understanding of who you are and what prayer is. May these remaining days of this challenge continue to launch us into a new season of intimacy and prayer sacrifice with you. We thank you for your love and your grace. And thank you for guiding us with your love and light.

Day 23 – The Prayer Cafe “31 Day Challenge”
Day 23
And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him. – 1 John 5:15
“DEAR JESUS, help me to spread Thy fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul with Thy spirit and love. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may only be a radiance of Thine. Shine through me and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Thy presence in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer me but only Jesus. Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as you shine, so to shine as to be a light to others.” – Mother Teresa
Let us pray:
Lord hear our prayers.
