Lighthouse Daily Noontime Prayer


Dear Sisters & Brothers in Christ:

The Lighthouse is a praying community.

Although we can pray anytime & anywhere, we feel called to encourage one another to intentionally pray as a community:

* at the same time
* at least once a day

Some of you may feel some concern about this request. I'd like to speak to that possibility in the following manner:

If we read Revelation 2:2-5, we will surely see that although God knows our works, patient endurance, our bearing up for His name and of our not having grown weary. . . the LORD still holds one thing against us - we have abandoned our first love."

In the middle of everyday life, we take and make telephone calls to family, friends, supervisors, clients, organizations, companies, agencies - you name it. We make the time. Let us - as a praying community - make time everyday, every high noon, to join in together in prayer - transcending the location and distance we may have between us physically, so that we many go up before His holy throne - together as family.

Bearing this in mind, I humbly ask all of you to join us everyday at noontime for prayer. Set your phone alarms, watches, clocks - anything for noon. At that time, just stop what you're doing, if possible and safe, of course - ask God to clear your mind and lift the following prayer up to the LORD:

O LORD, our Lord,
How majestic is your name in all of the earth!

I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
I will be glad and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

For the LORD is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and His faithfulness to all generations.
Amen.

Lord Jesus,
Help me be true to you,
Kind to people,
and take the Gospel to the nations.
In Your Name we pray,
Amen.

Thank you dear friends in Christ. Please let me know if you intend on joining us for daily noontime prayer. This is biblical, historical and intentionally given so we can grow in intimacy with our Father, through our Lord Jesus and through the power of the Holy Spirit. Please, join us in making holy our daily lives and business.

Just send me a quick note telling me your in!

We start tomorrow.

Grace & Peace to all -

Always In Christ,

Danny
