For the past 10 weeks, Tom and Sarah Scrivens have been leading a Life Group focused on specific prayer, through their church in Ipswich. The group itself is an answer to their specific prayers for God to multiply groups within the church, and this week they just didn’t want to stop praying!
Spurgeon once said:
“Whether we like it or not, asking is the rule of the Kingdom”
And Mark Batterson points out that:
“If our prayers aren’t specific, God gets robbed of the glory he deserves because we second guess whether or not he actually answered them.”
How has God been answering your specific prayers recently? We’d love to hear your stories - they encourage us and, more importantly, ensure that God gets the glory.
(Thanks to Tom for the quotes, which you can read in full in
