Prayer

Why Pray at 3:07?

Convention preparation belongs under the mercy of Christ, with prayer, repentance, clarity, courage, and love.

Every day at 3:07 p.m., we invite you to pause and pray.

In military time, 3:07 p.m. is written as 15:07. That points us to John 15:7, where Jesus says, "If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you."

This is not a promise that we can bend God's will toward our preferences. It is a gracious invitation from Jesus to abide in Him, to remain in His Word, and to bring our prayers before the Father in faith.

As members of Christ's Church, we pray for our church body. We pray for our leaders. We pray for delegates. We pray for floor committees. We pray for congregations, pastors, missionaries, schools, and all those who will be affected by the decisions and conversations of the convention.

We pray that Christ would keep us rooted in His Word, faithful in confession, humble in service, and bold in mission.

At 3:07 each day, remember John 15:7 and pray for Christ's Church, the convention, our leaders, and the work of the Gospel among us.
