CALVARY WOMEN PRAYER
October 2024 Prayer Focus
October greetings to all of you!
A new month and a new way we can pray together! Our CBC prayer focus October through December is “that we would invest in the treasure of Heaven.” We are asking you to pray with us for the Lord to show us how we as individuals and families can use the any resources God has given us—time, skills, talents, money, or possessions—to strengthen and grow the Kingdom of God.
I encourage you to pray expectantly and purposefully with a heart and mind ready to be changed or prompted to something new or different. I know this is an area where I have been and continue to be surprised at what the Lord shows me I am withholding from Him. I am grateful for opportunities to be convicted and respond with repentance and new obedience. I recognize and confess the places I’ve withheld, then take steps of obedience.
We’ll focus on Matthew 13:44 as a church family as we pray to invest in the treasure of Heaven and we’ll add 1 Chronicles 29:17-18 for us to pray together as women. These verses are part of David’s prayer as he is dedicating the bountiful, more than required contributions the Israelites have given for the temple. This is the prayer of a leader who has first praised and exalted God in his prayer, then is asking that everything that has been done, built, and given will be used for God’s glory, including shaping the hearts of the givers.
I encourage you to use this image on your phone or computer to remind you to pray throughout the month.
As always, I am praying with you and for you!
