PRAYER IS ESSENTIAL TO ABC CHURCH. JESUS SAID THAT HIS HOUSE WOULD BE "A HOUSE OF PRAYER FOR ALL THE NATIONS" (MARK 11:17). WE CANNOT HAVE A POWERFUL MOVEMENT IN THE CHURCH WITHOUT IT.
IF YOU HAVE A PRAYER REQUEST FOR THE CHURCH, PLEASE EMAIL YOUR REQUEST TO MARY JAYNE SMITH AT THE LINK BELOW. PLEASE LET HER KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE PRAYER NOTIFICATIONS BY EMAIL AS WELL.

PRAYER TOPICS
THIS YEAR'S 2024 THEME FOR THE NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER IS "LIFT UP THE WORD - LIGHT UP THE WORLD." IN 2 SAMUEL 22:29 IT SAYS: "FOR YOU ARE MY LAMP, O LORD, AND MY GOD LIGHTENS THE DARKNESS." WE CAN STILL CONTINUE TO PRAY OVER THE FOLLOWING AREAS EACH DAY:
1. THAT WE AS A NATION WILL HUMBLE OURSELVES AND SEEK GOD IN THIS TUMULTUOUS TIME (2 CHRONICLES 7:13-14)
2. THAT THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST CAN GET OUT TO THE WORLD AND PEOPLE WILL SEE THEIR NEED FOR SALVATION (MARK 16:15-16)
3. FOR OUR GOVERNMENT LEADERS TO TRUST IN GOD AND MAKE THE RIGHT CALLS DURING THIS TIME (1 TIMOTHY 2:1-2)
4. FOR THOSE WITH CORONA VIRUS AND OTHER HEALTH CONDITIONS WHEN OUR MEDICAL SYSTEM IS STRETCHED THIN (JAMES 5:13-15)
5. FOR FIRST RESPONDERS, HEALTH CARE WORKERS, FOOD WORKERS, AND THOSE SERVING OUR COMMUNITIES TO BE SAFE AND HEALTHY (3 JOHN 1:2)
6. FOR THE CHURCH TO REACH OUT TO OTHERS IN THE MOST HELPFUL WAYS DURING THIS TROUBLED TIME (TITUS 3:14)
7. ULTIMATELY, FOR THE LORD'S WILL AND WHAT IS BEST FOR HIS KINGDOM (MATTHEW 6:9-10)
