A very important part of The Word Guild is the Prayer Team.This group of over 70 members pray regularly for the concerns of the organization and its members.It's vital to have this prayer support on a regular basis.
What does Jesus say about prayer?
Matt 21:22 "And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."
And Paul tells us:
Phil 4:6-7 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
1 Thess 5:16-18 "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." (all Scripture from NKJV)
It's a privilege to come before the Father with our worship, praise and requests. It's a blessing to pray, to share one another’s burdens and come together, in spirit.
Today is a Day of Prayer for The Word Guild. By purposefully marking this day our aim is to have prayers raised around the clock. Whether folks pray for a specific period of time or “as the Spirit moves them” or on and off throughout the day as they think of it matters not. What does matter is that they do pray.
God has blessed The Word Guild and we continue to need His guidance, His wisdom and His direction as we move ahead. The challenges and opportunities are many. Our God is able. We’re all this together.

We're in this together indeed! And eager to see what God will do.
Just an assurance that I am praying throughout today. I didn't sign up for a specific time frame but did receive the package yesterday an am lifting up The Word Guild to God for his guidance and provision. He seems to delight in "last minute miracles" I have noticed! He never fails though.
Thank you, Belinda! May the Lord weave all our prayers together to His glory.
Denise, Joanna, and others,
Your Scripture choices for this Day of Prayer were so appropriate, intructional, and encouraging. They were a great means for focusing heart and mind. May the Holy Spirit's guidance continue being confirmed among our TWG family.
As was the case in Israel's legal and civil matters, in both Old and New Testaments – that every word will be confirmed by the testimony of two or three witnesses – is it not often so in the spiritual realm? Surely, the Holy Spirit is bringing forth His leading among us through unity of heart and shared vision and purpose, in accordance with God's Word, and with circumstances that represent divinely ordained opportunities.
Blessings, All.
Yes, Peter, that’s what we’re looking for, clear and confirmed direction from the Lord, with unified hearts to work with Him. Thank you for weaving prayer for TWG into your busy day!
