Will You Join Me in Prayer for Possum Kingdom?

Please commit to pray for one minute a day for the teenagers in Possum Kingdom for one month.

Teenagers who live in Possum Kingdom have major problems. Are you willing to pray for 20 seconds a day for each of two major problems, plus the solution? That won't ruin your day. You can afford 60 seconds, right? (Of course, you can pray longer if you choose to on any day.) Here is a list of potential problems to choose from.
Addictive drugs & alcohol
Illiteracy
Church dropouts
Broken families
Unmarried teenage pregnancies
School Bullying
There is a way to deal with all of these:


Christian Revival 

Are you willing to commit to praying to overcome two of these problems by means of the third? Every community needs a revival, no matter what the problems are. God wants us to pray more than once for things that are worth praying for . . . or against.

Jesus said that the way to pray is to pray with the same dedication of a widow who cannot get justice from an unjust judge. She keeps coming back to ask that he hear her case. Finally, the unjust judge settles her case, just to get her out of his life (Luke 18:1-5). God is a perfectly just judge. But if He says this is the way to pray, then we should do it.

Repeated prayers are not for His sake. He hears every prayer the first time. From the number of times we come back to Him, He sees how serious we are about whatever it is we are praying about. Praying is for our sake. Will we stick with it? How serious are we, anyway?

I am not asking you to pray for an hour a day, or a half hour, or even five minutes. I am asking for one minute per day for a month. You can keep praying for another month, of course. But will you commit for a month? Are teenagers in Possum Kingdom worth that?
