ENGAGE: Pray about Everything
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”
Our 2015 emphasis to actively ENGAGE in PRAYER; to PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING, as Philippians 4:6 says. In 2015 we can see victories won and the devil defeated…if we pray. We can maximine our usefulness for God’s kingdom…if we pray. Satan has it in for us and our families. Why don’t we turn it around and storm heaven’s gates with our prayers?
Prayer Tip: If you’re using Prayers of My Heart Prayer Journal, label the 1st Column in Week at a Glance with “LORD,” as a reminder to begin your day in praise. KING is what I put under LORD today. Then, I ignored the column lines under “Prayers for My Family,” and recorded across all the columns: “Serve YOU – mindful of the schemes of the enemy.” Next, I recorded specific prayers for Keith, our children and extended family.
Under “Prayers for Others,” I recorded:

Actively ENGAGE in PRAYER in 2015
1) USE a PRAYER JOURNAL. Why? When we look at the names of family, friends, church, ministry, USA, across the top of the Weekly Page, it directs our minds to PRAY specifically. We ENGAGE in battle.
2) ATTEND a P.R.A.Y. with Passion ACROSS the NATION CONFERENCE: 2/21 Kerrville, TX, 4/25 Watson, LA; or invite Debbie to lead one in your church.
Heavenly Father, rouse each of us to engage in prayer for our families, churches, neighbors, and nation with new resolve and fervor. Open our eyes to see the enemy so we take prayer seriously.
