FAITH!

You may be aware that LCS is currently going through some difficult financial times. LCS has a long history filled with tremendous stories of faithful believers pulling together in times of need. There are old stories of principals and board members "passing a hat" at basketball games when the electric or gas bill couldn't be paid. As the hat was passed through the stands those who felt moved by God to donate would put cash or a check in the hat. By the time the hat had been passed through the crowd the bills had been paid. When LCS has been on the ropes God has ALWAYS sustained it. Our school is bigger than the students who attend or the teachers who teach or the donors who help sustain it. LCS is bigger than the economy--it won't be stopped because of a recession or lower enrollment or whatever. God is faithful and we have faithfully served Him through LCS.
So here is your assignment. Thinking about all that we have learned about prayer I want you to write a prayer that we can pray in this time of need for LCS. Hopefully, in a few days this blog will be filled with over 40 prayers that we can share with the LCS family. Remember to ask boldly, to be specific and to ask with proper motives.
GO CRUSADERS!!!

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you so much for loving us and dying on the cross for our sins. And thank you for providing for Lincoln Christian so we can go there and learn about you. Thank you for all of our teachers and administrators. Please help them to make the decisions you want them to make and for them to lead us the way you want us to go. Lord please help the money we need to be provided someway, somehow. Help everyone to stay strong and know that you put us in trials and situations for a reason. They are to make us grow stronger in our faith and relationship with you. Thank you for all you have done for LCS.

Dear God,
thank you 4 letting all of us go to a Christian school 4 so many years. thank you for giving us the opportunity to learn about your world and your precious book and you and all of your awesomeness. I know that many of us have taken this blessing for granted, but i ask that if it would be your will that you would provide or find some sort of way to help the school provide for the needs that are to be met. I ask that the school would get enough money to pay the bills, and pay the teachers who work so hard ad yet get paid less then they deserve. i pray these things so that you could be honored through this school.
Amen

Tanner said...

Dear Lord,
Thank you so much for the opportunity to go to Lincoln Christian and to learn about You and Your word. I pray that you would continue to sustain Lincoln Christian as you have done so many times in the past through generous donors. Thank you for moving those people to give money. I pray that the teachers that may lose their jobs would be able to find another job and that they could sustain theirselves. In Your name we pray Amen.

Dear Lord,
Thank you for all the cool things You've done through our school and the people there. If it's Your will, please provide for us so that we can spread Your love. When people see You provide like that, they know something's different. Please use this to bring us all closer together and make our school more like You. But if that's not Your will for LCS to stay like it is, You know best and You love us and can see everything that will happen. You knew about it before the world was created. Please help us to trust You and to listen to what You are teaching us through this. In Jesus' name, Amen.

God, thank you soooo much! you have always been faithful to provide! thank you for always seeing the bigger picture when we cant. I know LCS and the families will be provided for if we put our trust in you, so help us to have trust. please be our Jehovah Jirah, you were ready to provide and provide it in abundance when the Israelites (your chosen people) were hungry in the desert. right now it feels like your children of the LCS body are in a desert and we need your help. when we are provided for let us as believers to praise you for and share of your faithfulness. thank you for caring about our needs! in Jesus name

Joel M said...

Dear Heavenly Father –
Thanks for knowing what goes on in the course of our lives and thanks for being involved. First of all, thank you for even the privilege to attend a Christian school. You know that LCS is going through some financial trouble and we need to come to you with our request. We know that you don’t want us to be always secure because, just like the nation of Israel, you don’t want us to trust in OUR power or OUR money. YOU want our trust to be in you, where it should be. Help us to have our trust in you and to trust that you know what is best and what your will it. Please help us to know your will and to help us to trust in you for the funds we need.
Amen
