Prayer Info Week of 3/13

Prayer Meeting Info:

Acts 4: Peter and John arrested and taken before the Sanhedrin; the believers response to these events

Upset over the recent healing, the Sadducees arrest Peter and John. After a night in jail, Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, delivers a powerful speech. A night in jail would have been an unnerving experience, but Peter maintained his faith and allowed the Holy Spirit to speak through him. It is interesting to note that in verse 13 Peter and John are seen by the rulers as courageous and unschooled men. Peter and John were ordinary men who did extraordinary things through the power of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is working in us today. How does this change our attitude towards having spiritual conversations?

What amazing things can God use us to do?

Look at the response of the believers in verse 29. Note that they prayed for great boldness to speak God’s word. Pray for boldness in sharing the message of Christ.

Other things to pray about:

Pray for Brian and members of the Servant Team as they continue to make preparations for the outreach week.

Pray for continued safety as many people are traveling for spring break.

Pray for Ana and Claire as they are taking part in CUP.

Pray for the seniors that are preparing to graduate. Pray that they would have wisdom as they make decisions about jobs and their lives after college.

Pray for Japan as they work to recover from the earthquake and tsunami.

Pray for relief workers and missionaries in Japan, that they would have opportunities to share God’s love in the midst of the crisis.
