In our marriage class last night we ran across the following
prayer by author Gary Thomas --
"Lord, how can I love my spouse today like
she's (he) never been loved and never will be loved?"

Update
The fast is
nearly ¾ over and I find myself thinking about how
difficult it can be to know the will of
God. Commonsense can be used to make a
quick decision, my instincts and experience can lead me to making a good
natural decision but what does God want.
How do we find a “wisdom that will enter your heart” (Prov 2:10) a
“knowledge that will be pleasant to your soul” in the midst of the confusion we
all face. I know what my mind says for
selfishness speaks loudest, then if that is rejected then it easily jumps to
the natural to figure this out, but that leaves God out and I merely use what I
know. Paul lets us know that the
“righteous will live by faith” (Romans 1:17).
To live by faith leads me to trust God without seeing, to dig deeper in
the word and prayer, to shake off the natural and go to into the deep things of
God. I guess a 24 hour fast is not going to do this but I seem to be diving
anyways into the deep. Wonder what I
will find? Quite possibly not the
natural or the common but the perfect will of God which is the very thing I
long for.

Declare a holy fast
When: October

“Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly. Summon
the elders and all who live in the land to the house of the LORD your God, and
cry out to the LORD” Joel 1:14
1. I am asking
all small groups and Bible Studies who meet on Wednesday to begin their groups
with prayer- seeking Gods will for Cornerstone Church and it’s attenders.
2. To seek for forgiveness of sin with true repentance.
3. To break addictions and strongholds that prevents an
intimate relationship with God.
4. That God would restore broken relationships.
5. That we would return to heart holiness and our
services would be free to experience the power of God.
6. That harmony and unity and peace would be shown in
relationships between Cornerstones attenders.
7. That the staff of Cornerstone would be blessed with
unity of vision and that our families would be protected.
8. That the Church Board would experience the insight and
discernment to know the will of God.
9. That wisdom
would be given in the next set of elections and that the Holy Spirit would lead
the body of Christ in discerning the Fathers plan.
