Peoria Prayer Center

Peoria Prayer Center News Edition – Modern Slavery How do you feel when trapped? I had a memorable experience when I got stuck in a laundry shoot when I was a kid. Sliding down from the second floor into the basement, my shoot sliding skills were not developed yet and my leg exited the first floor door as I went by. My body didn’t want to continue down the shoot without my leg so it stopped, wedging me in between the first floor and basement. Every fiber of my being felt trapped. I want share with you a prolonged news story from the Christian Science Monitor about modern slavery and human trafficking. My goal is sharing these news stories is to encourage prayer for those in need – those enslaved. My goal is NOT to lay another burden on the people of prayer. I’m not interested in seeing how many hours of prayer I can get God’s people to perform. I want to provide a real story of struggle in our world and allow the Holy Spirit to lead our hearts and actions. So in th...

Do you want to increase the joy and gladness in your life? Are you tired of being discouraged and depressed? I know we often over promise and under deliver, but God has made a way for us to rejoice and be glad. God is wise and knows how to help us in our troubles. God is good and does not just wait for us to discover Him, but seeks us out. God is a Shepherd leading and seeking. I hope God is using me to find some people looking for help in gladness! I have been working on a thirty day plan to increase joy or gratitude in my life. Right now I am compiling a booklet to help others try what I have tried. But I wanted to get this simple prayer plan out there for those who might be looking for some prayer help this Thanksgiving season. This plan will be one of the extras that I include in the booklet. You can go to Slide Share and download a PDF copy or you can copy and paste from here. The Slide Share version is better if you want to use it as a handout. I have also just repu...
