PRAY FOR OUR LIVES
Praise God for his awesome power and mighty works in your life and in the world. Pray we, as a church will grow in our
exuberant worship of God. Thank God for listening to and answering our prayers. Ask God to bless us and grant us great
grace in order to make Him known to others throughout the world. Pray for the day when all peoples of our world will be
reached with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Pray for God to lead us in the specific role He has for us to play in
accomplishing that mission.

This week we are praying for the
members of North Ridge Church to
make disciples by loving God,
loving people, and living on
mission. Here are 6 simple ways to
pray and to put your prayers into
action.

for the country of Tunisia.
Day 1: Pray for the physical and
emotional needs of single parents
in our city.
Action: Buy groceries for a single
mother.
Day 2: Just last week there was a
terrorist attack in Tunisia. 23 are

tragedy to open the door to people
finding true peace in Jesus Christ.

SCHEDULE
Psalm 82
Day 1: Tunisia is squeezed
between Algeria and Libya in
Northern Africa. Islam dominates
the region and Tunisia is in
desperate need of the gospel.
Day 4: Churches are prohibited in
Tunisia. Pray for governmental
change that will make church
planting prosper.
Day 5: The small Christian
population of Tunisia is mostly
nominal. Most live out their faith
behind closed doors. Pray for
boldness and revival for these
Christians to reach their Tunisian
neighbors with the gospel.
Day 6: Kairouan, in Tunisia, is
seen by some as the fourth-most
holy city in Islam - many go there
for blessings, healing and help.
Pray that in their heartfelt search
they might find Jesus.

The Story of Redemption
March 22, 2015 Part 1: A Covenant People | Chapter 4: The Name of God  Exodus 3
A.W. Tozer - It is not a cheerful thought that millions of us who live in a land of Bibles, who belong to
churches and labor to promote the Christian religion, may yet pass our whole lives on this earth
without once having thought or tried to think seriously about the being of God. Few of us have let our
hearts gaze in wonder at the I AM. And for this we are now paying a too heavy price in the
secularization of our religion and the decay of our inner lives.

David Platt- What if God chooses to call us to things in our lives, not because of our qualifications
and our abilities, but in order to lead us to a place where we are radically dependent on his presence?

A.W. Tozer “We’re all human beings suddenly to become blind, still the sun would shine by day and
the stars by night, for these owe nothing to the millions who benefit from their light. So, were every
man on earth to become atheist, it could not affect God in any way. He is what he is in himself without
regard to any other. To believe in him adds nothing to his perfections; to doubt him takes nothing
away.”
