Praying Scripture

"As a person reads the passage he or she should take care to read it slowly while seeking to take its meaning into one's being as though he or she were 'tasting' and 'digesting' the Word of God. The key is not to rush this process." (Larry Ashlock, Giving Ourselves to Prayer, ch.27 "The Use of Scripture in Personal Prayer")

Praying scripture is so much more than quoting text. If we simply quote the scripture in our prayer groups without waiting on God to respond directly and intimately, we have missed the point of praying God's Word.

Ashlock states in Giving Ourselves to Prayer that "'praying scripture' includes a vital attitudinal difference." He goes on to say "this form of prayer requires a willingness to wait patiently for God to speak and to move in the heart."

I would goes as far to suggest that if we leave our MITI prayer hour unchanged by the specific scriptures we have prayed (i.e. don't remember the scripture), then we have not truly encountered God in His Word and therefore, we have not experienced the significance of praying scripture.

Here's a few options for using scriptures in your prayer time more effectively. "Filled-in Prayer Sheets" are available at www.MomsinTouch.org.

1. Use only one Praise scripture each week.  Have one person read the scripture out loud, then wait quietly for God to speak to individuals. Encourage he women to pray only in response to what they sense God has revealed to them in that moment.
   


2. Send all the listed scriptures to the group at least 24 hours before the prayer group meets. Ask them to pray these scripture slowly and intimately in their personal prayer time so that the corporate prayer time will be more of an open reflection on a deeper time spent with God.
   


3. Open your prayer hour with a few minutes of silence for everyone to read all the listed scriptures to themselves. Then encourage individuals to pray the scripture that has spoken most intimately to her back to God.
   


4. Select one scripture and have one person read or allow the women to read it quietly in context before voicing prayers.

Let God's Word be fresh and exciting every time you read it by waiting on Him to speak directly to you in personal prayer and to each person in corporate prayer.

God Our Defender

The attribute of God for my MITI prayer time this week is "defender." The filled-in prayer sheet gives the definition as "One who protects from danger, attack or harm; guards; shields."

The scriptures seem to reveal something more than One who protects us from getting hurt. Deuteronomy 10:17-18, states that God "defends the cause of the fatherless." This led me to consider "defender" as a defense attorney. 

We are citizens of a different kingdom. We should not expect this world to abide by God's system of justice - at least not yet. Therefore, our prayers are pleaded in a courtroom foreign to this world. 

Sometimes it doesn't feel like God is defending us in this world. But there is a more majestic courtroom where He defends our cause to the end of this age. 

Praise Him! His defense is not now, nor will it ever be, overruled. 

Live decent lives among unbelievers. Then, although they ridicule you as if you were doing wrong while they are watching you do good things, they will praise God on the day he comes to help you. 1 Peter 2:12 (God's Word)

Intercession - what matters to God

"Intercession means to mediate or negotiate for something; to intervene in prayer to God on behalf of another person or situation. We can't intercede properly without praying to know the heart of God in a matter." (Alice Smith), Giving Ourselves to Prayer, Terre Haute, IN: Prayer Shop Publishing, 2008)

My husband is great with researching information before we go out to buy a car. He can find out via the internet about what a dealer paid for a used car and therefore know what the dealer needs to profit in a deal before we negotiate to purchase.

The great thing about negotiating with God is that He wants us to know what He has in every deal. He will tell us exactly what we need to know if we ask and wait for his response. 

A benefit of praying with others is that sometimes we can get too caught up in what we think we want God to do. (Like demanding a dealer come down to our price without any thought about his need to profit from the deal.) Praying with others allows us to receive meaningful words from God that are sometimes difficult to hear directly because they don't fit our perspective of what we think should happen.

During the intercession time for specific requests for your children and their school - including praying for teachers, staff, and students - try just speaking the name and ask God how he wants you to pray for that person or circumstance. Patiently listen, then pray according to what you hear from God and from each other.

Prayer and God's Response

"Prayer is usually presented as a procurement process or a problem-solving method that mysteriously 'works,' but only part of the time. We have somehow thought that we could motivate people to pray by convincing them that prayer works. But by that same logic, if it doesn't work, we should stop praying." (Steve Hawthorne, Giving Ourselves to Prayer, Terre Haute, IN: Prayer Shop Publishing, 2008)

I am guilty of promoting prayer as a way to fix problems. It is an easier conversation than trying to personalize God to someone who may not know Him personally. But in my heart, I don't see fixing problems as the most amazing part of prayer. Nor is it the most persuasive reason to motivate someone to pray unless they are in a crisis that needs fixed. Then we face the risk of presenting requests in prayer as the solution instead of seeking God for guidance.

By starting our group prayer time with Praise and Confession we are emphasizing the relationship between God the Creator and His created. These segments are not merely elements of a formula. When we approach prayer as an intimate conversation with God, these elements draw us into the relationship God so desires. This relationship is able to exist because the Father invites us to talk with Him through prayer.

The next time you meet for your MITI prayer hour, slow down and think about the reality of the Creator hearing His created speak to Him. Not only does He listen, He desires to respond to us, to talk personally, to instruct, and to encourage us - His created. That is amazing!

"At the last, we will not say, 'Look at all the amazing answers to prayer we were able to make happen.' We will say, 'He has fulfilled everything He has promised.'" (Steve Hawthorne, Giving Ourselves to Prayer, Terre Haute, IN: Prayer Shop Publishing, 2008)

Purpose of Prayer

"Really the whole purpose of prayer is not to get our will done but to get God's will done." (Thomas L. Constable, Giving Ourselves to Prayer, Terre Haute, IN: Prayer Shop Publishing, 2008)

Are you amazed when God answers prayer? Are you disappointed when it seems he doesn't answer your prayers?

If we approach prayer with an earnest desire to know God's will, we are more likely to find ourselves leaving the prayer time rejoicing for what he has shown us will be done rather than waiting to see if we are amazed or disappointed.

PRAYING MOMS MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Our Mission: Moms In Touch International impacts children and schools worldwide by gathering mothers to pray.

Our Vision: Every School in the World covered in Prayer.

 

What do you see?

I gave up working on a cross-stitch project for about four years because I couldn't see the tiny little squares. Finally, I gave in and bought some drug store reading glasses and was amazed! I was able to finish my project. I could enjoy reading again without eye strain. 

God gives us the ability to have a vision for something that doesn't yet exist. He created the earth and everything in it in six days. He could have done it in one day, but he focused each day on a different aspect of his vision. Keep in mind - nothing existed to aid his vision. Genesis 1:2 says "the earth was formless and empty."

I believe everything God does is intentional. So why did he take six days to create? Maybe it was to teach us to not stop at our first focus.

God has given MITI the vision to cover every school around the world in prayer. That is an exciting vision and one that is becoming reality with groups in every state in the US and in 120 countries worldwide. 

Now, what do you see God doing with that vision? Dream with me. What do you see happening not just as a result of you praying for your child and school but every school covered in prayer? 

I see children proclaiming good news of the kingdom of God as a natural part of their day. A friend struggling with a family situation and a child or two gather around him to pray - listening for God's guidance and bringing the reign of God's kingdom into that school and that personal situation.

I see teachers who are not afraid to pray for the sick and troubled students. I see miracles of healing, children released from the need for ADD and other medications. 

I see administrators bringing justice through God's love and mercy. Problem students being encouraged to their God-given potential. 

I see students, teachers, staff, parents turning to Christ for meaning in their life because of the undeniable miracles they witness in their schools.

Immediately Aeneas got up. All those who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord. Acts 9:34-35

Put on God's glasses. What do you see that you haven't seen before?

Your MITI Goals

I'm not one to make New Year's resolutions but I do like to set goals. As followers of Jesus Christ, goals are meaningless if not considered in relation to His goals and purposes. Instead of asking what do I want to accomplish, my goals usually try to answer the question how will I or those my life impacts be different if the goal is met. 

Here are some goals I would like to suggest in regard to your involvement with Moms in Touch.

Group Members - make your weekly MITI prayer time a priority (this has a much greater impact than you can imagine on you, those in your group, and all of your life if it is a priority)

Group Leaders - train others in your group to lead (as leaders we are not to be the shepherd but to encourage others to our shepherd for his leading)

Contact Persons - Cast the vision of every school in your cluster/district to be covered in prayer; pray specifically and weekly for moms to respond to God's calling to pray for those uncovered schools; train others for the role of Contact Person

Area Coordinator (that's me) - I am seeking and expecting God to bring forth three more Contact Persons in 2009 (Big Walnut, Buckeye Valley, and Marysville)

Goals of the Christ Follower are much more than wishful thinking or human determination. The specific goal I set as an Area Coordinator was determined through prayer. I believe God has revealed that he will do this and therefore my part is be alert and in tune with him as he guides me throughout the year. Faith is not believing God will do what I want but believing he will do what he has revealed and promised.

I encourage you to ask God to reveal his goals for you this year. Listen to the Holy Spirit as He paints the picture of what your life and the life of those you impact will look like at the end of 2009. Expect it to happen just as he promises.

Do you hear what I hear?

What I have said, that will I bring about; what I have planned, that will I do.

~ Isaiah 46:11

Following the 4-steps of prayer model is very helpful in keeping our focus on speaking to God. I wonder, though, if we should insert reminders on our prayer sheet to listen to God.

This week, I'm using the filled-in prayer sheet with the attribute "Master Planner". As I read the above verse, the thought came to me, God is not a dad who makes time to listen to us when he gets done with his work. We, and the stuff we are praying about, are his work.

One of the significant aspects of praying with others is the gift of experiencing unity in our prayers. Not unity of like-minded moms, but unity as only the Spirit of God can create. When I pray alone, I can listen to God and sense his presence but it is not the same as knowing that someone else is also hearing what I hear from God. 

Our prayers are filled with hope and power when we realize that we're not interrupting God with our stuff. He has a master plan which includes our stuff. All we need to do is listen to him. 

Confession should not be the only intentional silent time in our prayer groups. When we praise him, let's listen for his response. Allow the Spirit to whisper reminders of Thanksgiving. And wait on God to guide your prayers for your children and the schools.

What you hear may surprise you. It may seem strange to have a sense of knowing the need of someone you do not know personally. But God will tell you how to pray if you take time to listen.

Listen. Do you hear what I hear? If so, it's most likely from God. He is letting you and me in on his master plan. How exciting is that!

Message from MITI Great Lakes Regional Director

On Nov 18, 2008, Lynn Niedenthal wrote:

Dear Ohio MITI Group Leaders and Members,

Our nation is in the midst of a financial “storm” which has impacted many of us, including the ministry, Moms In Touch International. We trust the Lord to see us through this time and that the ministry will continue to be strong. Accordingly, MITI Headquarters has placed a freeze on all spending. This encompasses all usual expenses incurred by state coordinators (SCs) and regional directors (RDs) as we volunteer and serve, including copying, phone, postage, office supplies and travel.

The impact of this cut back is also effecting the SC annual getaway scheduled for February 2009 where all the SCs, RDs and MITI HQ Dept. Managers gather in California for a time of equipping and encouragement. Because of many exciting changes that are on the horizon for Moms In Touch, it is vital for all of us to attend. This travel has always been covered by the ministry; however, current circumstances call for us to be prayerful and creative in order to maintain the financial stability of the ministry. So, MITI has requested that all those attending involve the women in their states to give them the opportunity to participate by donating financially or with Frequent Flyer Miles specifically towards this need.

Would you consider investing in the future of MITI in Ohio and our Great Lakes Region by making a donation to help cover Joanne and my expenses to attend the SC Getaway? If you feel the Holy Spirit’s tug to provide Frequent Flyer miles or to give financially towards our getaway travel along with the other expenses mentioned, please let myself or Joanne know. You may make the check out to Moms In Touch International sending it either to myself, to Joanne or directly to Moms In Touch International, PO Box 1120, Poway, CA 92074-1120. Please note on the check that it is for Joanne Harris or Lynn Niedenthal and how it is to be designated. They will keep us informed of the amount so that we know when enough has been raised to buy our tickets.

I realize this letter may find you and your family in dire financial needs and so I pray that you will not be offended by this letter – please do not have any guilty feelings if you just delete this.

Often when I receive donation requests, I feel that the little I can give is not enough. I want to encourage you to read 2 Kings 4:38-44. A man came with a donation for the man of God and the prophets. 100 men were hungry! The donation was enough to satisfy a few, but not all. Elisha wasn’t interested in just feeding himself and his inner circle. He insisted in putting the food out to all the men. The servant questioned the command to put it out in front of the 100 men but Elisha repeated the command and gave a promise. God will make it be more than enough. The promise of God enabled the servant to obey. “So he set it before them.” Your little amount in righteous, obedient hands is all God needs to meet the needs of many. Give the little bit you have even though you know it’s not enough. The Lord promises it will be more than enough.

My God will meet all your (and mine and Joanne’s) needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus. ~ Philippians 2:19

Thank you In the name of our Jehovah Jireh,
Lynn & Joanne

Hi ladies,
I just heard today from a couple in IL who are able to donate all their United miles to me for my flight so I am taken care of – PTL! (The IL SC’s husband had already bought her ticket so she is praying for monetary donations).

So, Lisa, you can edit the letter to just reflect needing support for Joanne’s flight.

Moms In Touch International 

Our Mission

Moms In Touch International impacts children and schools world wide for Christ by gathering mothers to pray

Our Vision

Every School in the world would be covered in prayer

Holidays and Short Weeks

Is your Moms in Touch prayer time just another scheduled item in your week or do you recognize the gift God has given us through Jesus to pray for our children and schools?

Let's not make our MITI prayers a "meeting" that must be scratched when school is not in session. Pick up a previous Prayer Sheet or print one of the 52 filled in sheets from the Leaders Corner page at www.MomsinTouch.org to use in your personal quiet time. A list of Attributes of God is also available at the Leaders Corner page.

Who knows? You may get so excited about using the 4-steps of prayer alone that you will want to lead the next MITI Prayer time for your group!

Evelyn Christenson in What Happens When Women Pray says private prayer is "an indicator of the kind of prayer group participant we really are, for it is our private praying that determines the quality and validity of our public praying."  

A note from personal experience: praying out loud when you are alone will make praying in a group more natural for you. 

Don't skip praying for our children and schools just because of holidays or short school weeks. God is still at work in the lives of every student, teacher, and staff person.

Keep Praying! You are participating in the redemption of God's creation!

Do you see it?

I love to travel and see things I've read about. Several years ago I had the thrill of spending 21 days in nine European countries. Fascinating! Windmills in Holland. Austria's Swiss Alps - the hills really are alive with the sound of music. Quaint German villages. Magnificent castles. Buckingham Palace and London's double decker buses. The Arc de Triumph, the Eiffel Tower, and the original Mona Lisa.

Did you know that one of the significant elements of the Mona Lisa is the landscape background? I didn't until after I visited the Louvre. I saw her famous smile but I hardly noticed the background.

I wonder sometimes if we notice the big picture of what God is doing with Moms in Touch. Each prayer group is like the smile of Mona Lisa but there is a background that is of far greater significance. 

The vision of Moms in Touch is that every school in the world will be covered with prayer. 

Picture it. Your child travels to Europe with a group of college friends. How many on the plane are the same age? Did they have moms praying for them?

Or maybe your family has to transfer to a new city during your daughter's junior year of high school. What will she face at this school? Was anyone praying for that school?

It's easy to see the temporary struggles our children encounter from day to day. I challenge myself and you to look closer. If you don't already, please include the vision of Moms in Touch in your weekly prayer time. Let's watch and see every school (including home schools) in the world be covered with prayer.

Last year, MITI groups in the Olentangy school district each adopted an uncovered "sister" school within the district. How exciting it is to see a new group start up when you've been praying for that to happen!

A Worthington group is praying for an inner city (Columbus) school as their adopted school. 

What school will you adopt until you see God bring forth moms to cover it in prayer?

Who Me?

Open _______’s eyes and turn him/her from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that he/she may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in Jesus. Acts 26:18

This prayer is printed on the Prayer Sheet each week under Teacher/Staff. This morning, I decided to read it in context and a frightening thing happened!

Go ahead, go get your Bible and read Acts 26. Start around verse 12 and pay close attention to verses 16 and 17. I'll wait while you do that.

{whistling no particular tune - that drives some people crazy}

Ok, just two questions for you

1. Who is speaking?
2. Who is to “open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light...”?

I firmly believe that prayer is not about giving God a to-do list but instead is a time to bring our joys and heartaches to God and ask Lord, what do you want me to do? or How do I respond to this circumstance in your name?

Here’s a challenge for you. At the beginning of the above prayer, add these words when you plug in a teacher’s name: “Lord, send me to....”

It was a tough prayer for me this morning but I’m trusting God will do the work. I just need to be available when (or if) he chooses to indeed send me. Maybe he won’t choose to send me, but I want to be willing if he does.

Lord, send me to open _______’s eyes and turn him/her from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that he/she may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in Jesus. Acts 26:18

The Thrill of Prayer

       Rejoice.
Rejoice not so much in victories as in the fact that I am leading.
       Praise Me.
Not so much for My blessings as for My love that prompts them.
       Serve Me with gladness,
not for the ultimate nor present reward,
       but for the thrill of knowing that we labor together;
that I stand beside you in every enterprise, however trivial.

~ Frances J. Roberts Come Away My Beloved

Where does your MITI group seem to struggle in the prayer hour?

Praise?
When first starting out in the MITI prayer format (and even when we've been doing it awhile for some of us) it can be difficult to get used to the concept of Praise over Thanksgiving. I still catch myself once in a while starting with "Thank you for..." in the Praise segment rather than "God, you are..."

Praise is not about the blessings he has given us but His love that prompts those blessings.

Confession?
Rejoice in his leading. It is the prompting of his Holy Spirit that reveals where we fall short of his leading. As we allow the silence to be penetrated by God's love during this time, we see the beauty of the Creator leading us like a good shepherd. He lifts us up. He guides us with the discipline of his rod and staff for his name sake. You can approach the throne of God with confidence because He puts you back onto his path when you submit to His leading.

Thanksgiving?
Oh wow! We thank him not like a child who enjoys a gift but is reluctant to write a thank you note. Oh, no. We thank him from much greater depths than that. This is Almighty God who has entered into our lives - no matter how trivial.

I'm told by many group leaders that this seems to be one of the quiet times of the prayer hour. Moms, this should be the time when the leader is forced to interrupt to stick to our one hour commitment.

I challenge you to not think so much of just the rewards of your prayers but think of who it is entering into the struggles of your child's life. When you say "thank you," pause for just a moment and consider again the attribute or name of God you have just praised at the beginning of your prayer time. Think about how He has been faithful even in the trivial.

Intercession?
Ah, the heart of our prayer time. Asking, Seeking, Finding. What we are really doing here is serving. Prayer is an essential part of being able to see what God is doing around us. Without seeing what God is doing, we cannot participate with him. In Intercession we say "Lord, as your servant, I bring this to you. What do you want me to do with it?" When we know that we are part of what we are asking, part of God's love, we discover the thrill of asking, the thrill of knowing that we labor together with the Creator. Each of us doing as God directs and God doing his part.

Let's not just drop off a to-do list with God. Let's seek his counsel, his perspective, and let him lead us according to his love.

Are you a Woman of Prayer?

The way we respond to difficulties, to the storms, is related directly to how well we know God. (Fern Nichols, Every Child Needs a Praying Mom, p. 112)

In the Moms in Touch booklet which every group member should have, Fern shares in her Personal Testimony what she asked God to do in regard to prayer. First on her list is to be a woman of prayer.

What does it mean to you to be a woman of prayer?

To me, it is not setting aside a specific amount of time to be in prayer and it has little to do with being part of a prayer group.

A Woman of Prayer...

Fixes her thoughts on Jesus (Hebrews 3:1)

When we fix our mind on Jesus rather than on our circumstances, we find it easy to talk to Him at any time and about any troubles and joys we experience.

Seeks God's presence (Matthew 18:19-20)

Jesus stated that he is with us where two or three come together in his name. Why two or three? My experience and perspective is this. With just two or three we are more likely to keep our focus on God rather than ourselves. The significance of two or three over praying alone is that we are able to have the Holy Spirit confirm what he has spoken to us through the audible prayers of others. In this way, we know that we are agreeing with God in our prayers.

Trusts in His Power (Matthew 19:26)

As moms we can easily get weighed down with the thought that I must do something to remedy the struggles of my child just as the “rich man” wanted to know what he could do to get eternal life. As a woman of prayer we recognize that we are very limited to our ability to change our child or anyone else but God is able to change the heart of others when we listen to his guidance and allow his Holy Spirit to be the source of power.

Does your response to difficulties indicate that you are a woman of prayer?

Praying Scripture

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. Psalm 119:105

As moms we bring to God our fears and concerns for our children. Scripture reminds us over and over that he will guide US - the one praying and seeking his will.

So often we want to see changes in our children or the school system. When we bathe our children in scripture we ask that our child "may" do God's will. Let us not forget that we are the one's seeking God's will.

Here's a challenge for all of us. During the confession time, look down at the scripture you will be praying for your child. Are you following the path of the scripture you will be praying for your child?

All Scripture is inspired by God

and is useful to teach us what is true

and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives.

It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right.

2 Timothy 3:16 (NLV)

Delaware City Informational

Do you know a mom in Delaware City Schools, St. Mary School, or Delaware Christian? Let's work together to get every school in Central Ohio covered in prayer!

INFORMATIONAL MEETING:
Wednesday, Sept. 10, 9:00-10:00 a.m. at the home of Tuesday Trippier

For more information

or to find out how to host an informational in the Delaware City area,

please contact:

Tuesday Trippier, MITI Delaware City Contact Person,

614-283-0240 or jtrippi@columbus.rr.com.

There is a new group starting up for Carlisle! Please let Tuesday know if you know someone who might be interested in that group!

Seek Him

The school year has begun - at least for those in Olentangy. What are you expecting of God this year?

Hebrews 11:6 "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."

My challenge for each Moms in Touch group and those faithful moms praying alone, Seek Him.

When we pray, we are approaching the creator of all that we know and all that we don't know. He wants you to seek him and find him. If we take time to listen in our prayers, we will hear the heart of God. When we hear his heart, we can walk away knowing that the God of heaven and earth will do what we have asked.

Keep Praying - You are making a difference in the world!
