Hi family:

Soul Food and I had the slots from 7:30 to 10:30 pm tonight.  We set up our own little prayer room in the Ethnic Cultural Center.

We prayed for a lot of family members…sister, brother, mother, father…It’s really encouraging to know that God cares about them.

I prayed the last hour in front of the computer and, I don’t know about anyone else…but it’s really hard to pray on the computer.  The buzz-buzz-buzzing of the computer does not put me at peace.

Two worship songs stuck out to me as I prayed…

1) “Yes” by Shekinah Glory

2) “We Fall Down” by Donnie McClurkin

Here are the lyrics:

YES

Will your heart and soul say yes
will your Spirit still say yes
There is more that I require of thee
will your heart and soul say yes

Now will your heart and soul say yes
Will your Spirit still say yes
If I told you what I really need
will your heart and soul say yes

WE FALL DOWN

We fall down
But we get up
We fall down
But we get up
We fall down
But we get up
For a saint is just a sinner who fell down
and got up

I don’t feel like I had any profound experiences in prayer, though it was enjoyable to be in God’s presence.  And I mostly pray that we say ‘yes’ to whatever God clarifies for us as a community and also have the courage to stay the course together.

I am so proud of everyone who has been a part of this prayer movement!
