Thanks: A Right Heart in Prayer

Psalms 95 pretty much sums up what our Monday Night Prayer looked like this past week. 

  1 Come, let us sing to the Lord!
      Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
 2 Let us come to him with thanksgiving.
      Let us sing psalms of praise to him.
 3 For the Lord is a great God,
      a great King above all gods.

We came into the evening with thankful hearts.  We prayed, we prepared and God moved greatly upon us for an off the chain Easter.  We had over 4500 people with 124 first time commitments that we know of.  So many people were moved as we shared the story of "the" ultimate fighter, Jesus Christ.He also enabled us to go into our community and serve the with over 3200 man hours this past week. 

So we celebrated by spending 20 minutes in worship and then we allowed people to share God stories about Easter and Servolution.  We had about 10 - 15 people come to the mike and share with us.  We spent some time appreciating the many volunteers that gave so graciously of their time this past week.

Thanksgiving is a prayer that is often overlooked as prayer.  It puts our hearts in the right place before God.  Thanksgiving recognizes it is all about Him.  With thanksgiving we are reminded how God is the giver of life and grace and peace.
