Weekly Breath

“‘I am the Lord’s servant,’ Mary answered. ‘May it be done to me according to your will.’” Luke 1:38

The People

Please pray for peace in India. Our goal is for the love of God in Jesus Christ to flow through all the world; let us pray that people in India and Pakistan would cease hostilities and would live in peace with one another.



This is the season we celebrate Christmas — the birth of Jesus Christ our Lord! Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus Christ came to this earth to be born.

The Bible describes how “God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary...The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the Name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High...His kingdom will never end.”

Even though Mary was a virgin and had never had relations with a man, God said she would give birth to a Son Jesus — and He would be called the Son of God. This was a great miracle — God became a man and lived among us.

How great is the love of God for us! God could have just judged us — He could have ignored us — but He did not. Instead, He came to earth to be born as a man and give His life for our sins. It is a privilege to serve such a wonderful God.

This week, let us join together and pray for

* The love of God to be poured out on everyone who comes to our web sites
* Jesus Christ would become known as Savior to all your famlly
* God would help our staff to be filled and controlled with the Holy Spirit each and every day

Let us pray that, at this Christmas time of year, the hearts of people all over the world would turn to Jesus Christ the Savior. He alone can save people from their sins. He alone is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He alone will come again to rule the whole earth. He alone is worthy of all praise

THANK YOU so much for your faithful prayers.

May God bless you and your family this Christmas and always,

weekly breath

Scripture

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.” Psalms 100:4

The People

Please pray for the people of Egypt. With over 80 million people, Egypt is one of the oldest civilizations in the world with a tremendous history. Please pray that all the people of Egypt who truly seek God will find Him, and that Christ will be glorified in Egypt.


“Give thanks to the Lord.” It is so important to give thanks to our wonderful God. In America at this time of year, there is a holiday Thanksgiving that is specially set aside to give thanks.

God is the source of every good thing in our lives. In heaven He will be with us forever and will give us every good gift. Here on earth, the greatest gift of all is His Son Jesus who died on the cross for our sins. “He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all — how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?”

So let us give thanks to God. You can give thanks for who He is — our Savior, our Lord, the creator of the universe. You can give thanks for His character — He is loving, and kind, and forgiving, and just, and patient. You can give thanks for the good things in your life — for life, and air to breathe, and food, and your family. And you can even give thanks in the middle of tough times, because God will see you through them and even in difficult circumstances He can bring good in your life.

So let us give thanks! This week, let us pray and

* Give thanks to God for who He is and His wonderful love to us
* Give thanks to God by faith for His financial provision this year and next year for us all
* Give thanks to God for one specific thing He has done for you this year.

THANK YOU so much for your love and prayers. We are brothers and sisters in Christ with all true believers all around the world. People from countries all over the world get this prayer email; someday we will meet in heaven!

May God bless you at this time of Thanksgiving,

Daily Breath

Scripture

“Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commands.” Deuteronomy 7:9

The People

Please pray for the people of Argentina. Argentina is one of the largest countries in South America, with over 40 million people, and is rich in history. Please pray that everyone in Argentina would come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

The Power

The Jesus Film is the most widely translated film in human history and tells the story of Jesus Christ. This short tells the true story of Jesus calling Peter to be a fisher of men.


God is faithful! Have you ever had someone who betrayed you — who you could not trust?

God is the exact opposite of that — He is totally faithful and trustworthy. “He is the Rock, His works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is He.” You can know for sure that God loves you — and that He will always do what is best for you. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.”

If you are walking across a bridge, you want to know that the bridge will hold your weight — that you can trust walking on it. Please know that God is altogether trustworthy — no one who truly trusts in Him will ever be put to shame. God is faithful, and loving, and kind — His nature is truth. You can trust in Him with your whole life and He will never let you down.

We want the whole world to know Christ! So this week, can you please pray that

* God will help you to truly trust in Him with your whole heart
* God will help us reach even more people for Jesus Christ using the internet
* God will protect our staff and bless our newly revised site

May God bless you each and every day this coming week,Amen.
