““To Seth also a son was born, and he called his name Enosh. At that time people began to call upon the name of the LORD.””
““Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.””
God expects his own to call to him and he will answer. The problem sometimes is that we don’t know how to make the call. Pray that the Lord will teach his church how to call onto him.

Pray for Spirit led ministers. God is Spirit and only by walking in the spirit are we able to connect with God in the place of prayer.

Thank God for healing us
