What a beautiful Sunday! As you continue to persevere during this time of fasting and prayer, jump start your week with our verse for today,

Romans 12:12.

“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” (NIV)

^“Don’t burn out; keep yourselves fueled and aflame. Be alert servants of the Master, cheerfully expectant. Don’t quit in hard times; pray all the harder. Help needy Christians; be inventive in hospitality.” (The Message)

Are you expecting and waiting for God to answer a prayer that perhaps you have been praying a long time? Today’s testimony by one of our A-Team leaders who wears many different hats at Awaken offers hope for those that are persevering in prayer and need encouragement to keep HOPE and wait cheerfully!

“I prayed and fasted for ten years for Charlie (my husband) to get saved! God is so good! His word never comes back void!! He came home with a Bible my brother bought him and said he accepted the Lord! I didn’t believe him! I said actions speak louder than words! He started coming to church, read his bible….amazing to see how God honors your prayers and fasting! God is just so good!!!” (Donna Carter)

We are praying for you this week as you continue this journey of prayer and fasting!

We hope you will join us this coming Friday night at 7:00 PM at Heron Creek Middle School for a time of prayer and worship.
