Prayer Challenge

A lot of you know that I challenged myself to pray 100 hours over the next 30 days for our church to grow... (I first heard Bil Cornelius @ churchplanters.com conference say he did that).  I'm almost a week in and I thought it would be difficult coming up with stuff to pray for for 3-1/2 hours every day... surprisingly...it's not.  If anything it has really caused me to focus on specifics of our church... the systems and ministries, the leadership, the volunteers, the families, the hurts and needs as well as a lot of disconnected people in our community.  One thing it has done is caused me to realize how self focused a lot of my prayers have been.  I learned that the first couple of days... when I got to the end of me and my selfish prayers... what do I pray for?  That's when I really began to sense God stretching me!  I can't wait to see what He has next!

I've seen a difference in your preaching these past two weeks. I thought the past two were two of your best I have heard you give. Could it be the prayer?
