1992 Miracle Yearbook

Seeking God's Face Day ofPrayer, May 7, 1992 Woohoo!We get out ofa whole morning ofclasses! What? We have to get up at8am,miss breakfast,and sign in at three different meetings?! Whatis the Day ofPrayer,and why does Cedarville's administration plan one every quar- ter? The Day ofPrayer has been a tradition at Cedarville for many years.Its purpose is to allow the college family to focus on prayer and to remindthem to be in a constant state of prayer (I Thessalonians 5:17). Dr.Dixon said our Day of Prayer also helps show support to those with special needs, especially students with unsaved parents. Sometimes,such as last year during Desert Shield,the Day ofPrayer has a special focus. Other times wefocus on special needs ofthe college family;students and professors give testimonies about how prayer has affected their lives. It is awesome,and sometimes almostfrightening,to hear about the incredible power ofGod and whatfaith in Him can accomplish. Following is a list ofideas that can help us to maintain variety and continue focusing on prayer throughout the year. 1. Write out prayers,especially praises. 2. Read prayers that are in the Bible. 3. Write requests in a notebook;then when answers come, write them in also. 4.Pick a different topic to pray for each day. 5. Just praise and thank God once in a while. 6.Pray especially for people with whom you don't get along (Matthew 5:44;Luke 6:28). 7.Pray outloud. 8. Write down one praise and one request each day. •Jim Foster The Day ofPrayer is honored by all as these students prepare to pray for our nation.
