Eve of Fasting: Come As You Are...

Please join us, tomorrow, in our weekly day of united prayer and fasting. If you feel that you cannot fast, that's fine. Join us as we lift Adam up in prayer. Feel like you are not "religious" enough to join us? Feel like you don't know how to pray, or what to say? Feel like your life is in shambles? We don't care where you are, or what condition your life is in. Join us, anyway.

Romans 3:23

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God

"There's no such thing as a perfect life,

so come as you are! Broken and scarred!

Lift up your hearts,

be amazed and be changed

by a perfect God!"

~Natalie Grant

Perfect People

We are all in the same boat. Well, kind of. Yes, it's true that as Paul stated in his letter to the Romans, we do all fall short of the glory of God. We are all sinners. None of us is perfect. In that regard, we are all the same. Doesn't matter how old we are. Doesn't matter what our jobs are, or if we are unemployed. It doesn't matter how many times we have or have not attended church.

What makes you and I different from Adam, right now, is that we can read these words. We can pray. Adam cannot. I want to thank each of you who have joined us as we prayed for Adam, Amy, Mackenzie, Jack, Cookie, Ben, Brad, Tristan, and the rest of his family and close friends. If you haven't yet joined us, it's not too late! The great thing about a "virtual prayer circle" is that there is always room for more! If you've been away for awhile, feel welcome to rejoin us!

Regardless of how messed up my life may be; regardless of my sins; regardless of my disobedience; I want to join with you, tomorrow, to please God with our prayers, meditations, and fasting. I pray that God would find favor with us, hear our prayers, and answer them. And, I pray that we would be receptive to hearing His answers.

This evening, let's get ready to meet with God.
