Prayer Guide --Faith Promise 2010 
Thank you for your willingness to pray for our Faith Promise. This guide is for you to use if you choose-don’t feel like you have to. It is a tool for you, however, feel free to pray as the Spirit prompts you. You may take a copy home if you wish.
Don't be misled: No one makes a fool of God. What a person plants, he will harvest. The person who plants selfishness, ignoring the needs of others—ignoring God!—harvests a crop of weeds.
All he'll have to show for his life is weeds! But the one who plants in response to God, letting God's Spirit do the growth work in him, harvests a crop of real life, eternal life.
So let's not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don't give up, or quit. Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith.
-Gal 6:7-10 (Msg).
