Prayer

God is soooo awesome! and so faithful! I joined a group of students on campus about a week ago and we have each committed to praying a specific hour of the day. It's called 24/7 prayer, and the point of it is to of course seek God, but also to pray for revival on our campus. We have it set up so that someone is praying at every hour of the day. It's pretty awesome! And it has challenged my prayer walk in so many ways! I have been praying at 3pm every day, and I will be honest with you, some days I really just don't want to pray. I get tired around 3....that's usually when I take naps. But the more I seek God at that hour, the more I want to pray throughout the day. It is incredible! One thing I have really been praying for is that God would awaken those Christians who have fallen asleep. The ones that are idle and lazy. Wow, that is me so much of the time! Last semester I really became idle and complacent. But God is pulling me out of that state and filling me with His Spirit. I have become so hungry for God that I just can't seem to get enough!

I've also been praying for a community. I feel like I let myself get really disconnected from a body of believers last semester and that's when I felt myself slipping. And God has answered my prayers! Today I encountered a whole room of believers who have the same mindset of wanting to reach our campus for the Lord! We had a prayer meeting in the prayer room at school and it was just so encouraging to talk with other believers about our struggles and our desire to live 100% for the Lord. God is looking for a generation that will rise up and stand for Him. I am ready to be a part of that generation! Are you??
