Prayer Wall 9/6/17

For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him, ~ Philippians 1:29
 
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.~ Isaiah 41:10
 
If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, If my people who are called by name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.  – II Chronicles 7:13-14 
 
 Arise & shine; please pray for the following!
