A Great Work

"Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work."
Oswald Chambers

Hello Reece's Rainbow Prayer Warriors!  My name is Amy Peterson and I am a fellow Prayer Warrior in your ranks. I am passionate about prayer and my heart is full of love and compassion for orphaned children. So it is with great joy that I take on this new adventure of  "prayer blogging" with Reece's Rainbow Prayer Warrior Blog.

We are encouraged time and time again to "pray without ceasing" or "lift everything by prayer and petition." We also are comforted that God is near to those who are praying and His heart is moved by prayers. We also know how tender the Father's heart is towards the orphan. So if all these things are true, what a wonderful opportunity we have been given friends! We have been given the chance to pray all the time to a God who IS listening and cares about the children of this world. So let us take up the "great work of prayer" as Oswald Chambers says with joyful earnestness.

Here on the RR Prayer Warrior blog we want to partner with you in sharing prayer needs of RR children and families so that you can share in the work of prayer that touches the Father's heart. We will strive to make prayer requests easy and accessible. Some of the ways we will do this is to provide themed days, such as My Family Found Me Mondays. On a MFFM Monday you will see highlighted children who have recently been found, so that we may offer praise and prayer on their behalf.

In addition to themed days, you can look forward to weekly prayers for Prayer Warrior Child of the Week, urgent child/family requests, praise reports and inspirational messages to encourage you in your prayer mission field. We will kick off the new features next week.

I look forward to partnering with you as we join together in the "great work of prayer" on behalf  of RR children and families. As we move forward together, I offer this prayer for all of our Prayer Warriors:

Dear Father,
I thank you for all the people that you have gathered together to pray for the children and families of RR. I pray with joy because of their partnership! We are confident Lord, that this good work of prayer you have begun in them, you will carry to completion. Bless these Prayer Warriors as they go out into the mission field of prayer, filling them with your love, wisdom and strength.  In Jesus's name, Amen.
