Last night as we concluded our study on the Holy Spirit in prayer meeting, instead of simply sharing requests and then praying for them, I asked this question: What would you do if you found an Aladdin’s Lamp? You clean it off, and as you rub it, a genie appears and offers three wishes. What would you wish for? This got us thinking of James words when he says we have not because we ask not. Then James immediately remarks that we often ask for selfish motives. As the evening progressed, the small group gathered there moved from talking about genies and talked about what we would really ask God for since we can.

Here’s some items from the list:

1. That marriages would be healthy and families healed
2. That we could accept people who are different than us
3. That people who have been hurt would find healing in Jesus
4. That we could be better examples of Jesus
5. That grace would abound in our midst

What a great list of prayer request for our congregation. Join us as we pray for these kinds of things.
