Hi everyone,

I’m not sure if you are all familiar with the book 40 Days;  Prayers and Devotions to Prepare for the Second Coming by Dennis Smith.  I am beginning this study with some ladies at church and since we do not have meetings coming up with specific people to be praying that God will reach to bring to the meetings, I instead am focusing my prayers on specific needs or requests that God is placing on my heart.

One of my Prayer Pages will be focused on AHE.  I am sharing with you all for a specific reason.  One, the book says we should alert those we are praying for.    Two, we should ask for requests concerning this person/request.

My focus on the AHE prayer page will be in the ministry of AHE.  I want to pray for the families (in general) that are homeschooling and trying to follow God’s calling in this area.  I want to pray for the ministry that we are reaching out in areas that God desires us to reach out.  I want to pray over AHE’s current ministries (the email lists, the facebook page, the website, the study board) to be sure it is as God would have it.  I have concerns that have been brought to my attention that I will be praying over, as well.

So, I am asking that you all, since you are all part of AHE (you are all Adventist Homeschoolers), that if you have concerns or thoughts concerning AHE that you feel free to bring them to my attention so that I can pray over them in the next 60 days (I give myself 2 months to cover my 40 days of prayer since I sometimes “miss a day” of the specific requests).   Please send those thoughts to Melissa at:  adventisthomeducator@gmail.com

Also, I am asking that if anyone wishes to join me in praying for the AHE ministry, that they feel free to join me.  I know that God has blessings to impart on AHE families and on the ministry itself if we would just ask and pray for God’s leading.  So please join with me if God places this on your heart.

Warmly,

~Melissa

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank you for your unending love.

We thank you for this season in which others are more open to hearing your message.  Please help us share that message this busy season with others that we meet.

Be with our homeschooling families as we work to teach and train our kids in what is right.

Give us strength.

In Jesus name we pray,

Amen.

Dear Father in Heaven,

We thank you so much for your love and care over each of us.  We ask you to forgive us for the things that we fail in, give us strength to overcome with Your help.

Today Father, I especially pray for our homeschooling families that are reading.  May they have the Holy Spirit poured out into their homes, that their homes can heal and grow closer to you.  May your Spirit reign in the homes and give light to our communities across the world.  We look forward to the soon coming of Jesus; help us to be ready and to share with those around us.

Thank you Father for hearing this prayer.  In Jesus name, Amen.

Dear Father,

Many of us will be ending our school year, soon.  Please help us to be diligent in finishing up our projects, our lessons, our plans.

Thank you, Father, for leading us day by day.

Amen.

Dear Father,

We thank you so much for your love and grace today.  Please be with each homeschooling family represented here.

It is that time of year when we look forward to next year and we begin the diligent searching of material that will fit our family.  Father lead us to the things that our families need.  Remind us of the things we already have.

For as it says in the scriptures… “The heart of her husband safely trusts her; So he will have no lack of gain.”  Proverbs 31:11

Help us to be wise in our decisions when it comes to homeschooling materials.  Help us not to overspend.  Help us not to covet things that others have that would put us into debt.

Father, forgive us for the times when we have not always followed the way in which you desire for us.  Forgive us for the times when we have overspent, when we have justified an unneeded purchase whether it was with homeschooling materials, food, home décor, or any number of items.

Thank you, Father, for your patience with us in this area.  May we learn to be diligent in the area of finances.

Amen.
