OCF Clayton Prayer Requests Feb 2010

*OCF Clayton's Prayer Requests (Feb 2010)*

Hey WA & Vic peoples,


The start of Feb is here and so it's time to get the ball rolling with our prayers, lifting them up to the Lord because we believe that He hears our prayers yes?

- For the committee as we seek God on the *theme for 2010* - need His wisdom and guidance for direction. May we be united in one spirit under one Lord.

- For Claytonites to really *yearn for God*. Sometimes without (regular) OCF during the holidays, we tend to be distracted, "drift" a bit and lose focus. Instead of only getting "back on track" when they're back in Australia, we want them to start *anticipating, getting excited for the things God is going to do* in the year ahead, even before they return.

Shall we also remember *EXCO* in our prayers? Many times we don't see what's going on behind-the-scenes so it can be easy to forget what our leaders are going through. But there really is so much to be done, and 1 Tim 2 encourages us to pray for our leaders. Let's pray for God's wisdom and strength for them, and that they will be leaders who lead by example - HUP – with Humility, Unity and Perseverance, as shared by Cheryl Weng during AGM09.


Just something I read earlier today from 1 John 5:14-15 *"This is the confidence we have in approaching God; that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of Him."*

Look forward to hearing from us all! God bless.

:) In His love,

OCF Clayton

SUMMER UPDATES!

We praise God that the 3 centres in WA have continued to meet to pray weekly. It is our prayer that the God remains the center of our lives even in the midst of holidays and festivities. Do not let the hustle and bustle of life overwrite what is important! Jesus has promised "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33).

'How do I do that???', you may ask. Well, here are a list of practical steps to keep walking closely to God each day even when you're overseas:

- meet up with your prayer buddy to pray
- be accountable to your prayer buddy: let him/her know how you have been doing, what he/she can pray for you about. (SMS, E-MAIL, MEET-UP, SKYPE, etc!)
- get to know the God you love through the bible: when was the last time you did your devotion?
- wake up, sit up, and commit the day to God in a prayer. It doesn't have to be long, just talk to God- He listens.
