PAWLING, NY, Nov. 12 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Guideposts OurPrayer Ministry, part of the Ruth Stafford Peale Prayer Power Network, announces its annual Thanksgiving Day of Prayer, scheduled for Monday, November 23rd. The public is invited to submit prayer requests online at www.ourprayer.org. Each prayer request is prayed for by OurPrayer staff and volunteers.
For the past couple of weeks, OurPrayer has been compiling prayer requests from all over the world, with the majority pointing to finances and job-related issues due in large part to the severe economic challenges. The other top prayer requests that have been submitted deal with health, relationships, and spiritual guidance.
"At OurPrayer, we recognize that Thanksgiving is a day to be thankful for the gifts and resources that God has given to us, a call to have a heart of gratitude, and to be grateful for many of life's blessings. We have set aside the Thanksgiving Day of Prayer to invite all to join us and to send in their prayers and have the confidence that each request will be prayed for by name and need," said Rev. Dr. Peola Hicks, Manager for OurPrayer.
OurPrayer, part of the Outreach Division of Guideposts, is a central part of the non-denominational organization. As a way to reach out and serve people in need, a live Prayer Line was set up -- and benefiting from modern technology, this ministry has expanded to the Web, Facebook, and Twitter. Whether they operate via telephone lines or their personal computer, dedicated people volunteer their time to listen to and support those in need--offering spoken and silent prayers of hope in response to their requests.
