Thirty Days of prayer-Day 01

Men let's pray! A few men that I know are teaming together for thirty days of prayer. We kick started it this morning and it was tremendously refreshing. It was my wife's idea initially to do with women and it was impressed on my heart that men need to take leadership in prayer also. We are utilizing a free conference call line and getting on the call from 5am-6am every day until October 29th.
It is so funny, if you called a church wide prayer meeting the women would out number the men 3 to 1. I am so thankful for the leadership role of women in the body of Christ. There has been such a deficit of qualified male leadership in the church that women have been pushed to bear the load in several areas in men's stead. It's time for men to rise to the occasion and take leadership and we can start by praying, praying, and praying! We are taking 30 days to pray for any and everything that the Lord puts on our hearts.

I know what prayer does, it tenderizes our hearts, and is an act of humility before a Holy God. Prayer postures our heart so low that God's thoughts and intents will flow through us. Alignment is the word; prayer help us to align our will, our plans, our request, with the Father's heart.

2Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

I am excited....this 30 days will be used as a kick start for a life of praying men. If you are reading this and have any prayer request please post a comment or email me at jhill1972@gmail.com and we will lift the request up in prayer. Also, if you would like to join us on the call or in your own respective way send me an email.
