James 5:14-16 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another,that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.
While James is referring to physical ailment of the human body, I believe that this can also refer to organizations, businesses, ministries, etc. Awana’s “illness” is the distribution/shipping issues that they have experienced with the 3rd party vendor. Whether it is human error and/or a spiritual attack; Awana can use our prayers.
May we cry out to the Lord on behalf of Awana.
Psalm 107:28-30 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven
I hope that you will join me in prayer each hour, or at some point throughout the day for Awana. We will post each hour to remind you of the focus for that hour and to help guide you in how to pray for Awana.
