December 10, 2011 - Prayer

Prayer focus for 12/10/11 - 12/17/11
Schools: Covert Center
Churches: Harvest Baptist, Waterford Oaks, Los Pentecostales

As I was praying for the schools and in particular the children of Waterford Township, I began to sense a strong longing for the Lord to touch the hearts of the kids in the Township.  It was very strong and I felt that the Lord wants to give dreams and visions and even special encounters with Him to the kids.  But I also felt that the churches would need to be prepared to receive these kids.  That they would need to have a strong children's ministry with enough workers and resources to handle extra kids coming.  I felt that the Lord would love for the churches to reach out and provide transportation to church for those kids who don't have it and to be ready for them in teaching them the Word of God and helping to prepare them for what God has for them.  That the ministry to children is not just babysitting or pacifying them, but actually ministering to them and teaching them.  Pray for this to happen!

For the schools: for there to be peace in the classrooms and that the needs of the kids are met.  That peace would displace confusion, distraction, frustration and anger.  That the hungry, neglected and abused are taken care of. 

Township School Board / State Educational Authority: United in Christian purpose
Once again, that our textbooks are historically and biblically correct.
That people are not afraid to stand up for the Christian faith in educational or governmental positions. 
That all of America is one step closer to the Lord today in their hearts, minds and actions.
For the protection of our country spiritually, militarily, financially, geographically.  That our government and our military have all the wisdom and resources needed to protect this country. 
That the police had all they need to go after lawlessness. 
That the churches have all they need to turn hearts to God.
That in Michigan, criticism and sarcasm is turned to praise, thanksgiving and an attitude of gratitude.
That only sweet waters and not bitter come out of our mouths.  And that as the sweet waters of praise flow from our mouths it brings the sweet presence of God.
That the assault on our Great Lakes are stopped.
That where the enemy comes in like a flood the Spirit of the Lord raises up a standard against him.
The attacks against the Christian faith are ineffective.

Oakland County Commissioners:  As there is re-positioning going on, the Lord have His hand in who is to leave and who is to stay.

Waterford Township employees: That the employees in every position be called and anointed for their position and have all the wisdom and discernment needed to function in their position.
