Haystack Prayers

Bible in a Year:

• Isaiah 45–46
• 1 Thessalonians 3

You help us by your prayers. 2 Corinthians 1:11

Samuel Mills and four of his friends often gathered together to pray for God to send more people to share the good news of Jesus. One day in 1806, after returning from their prayer meeting, they got caught in a thunderstorm and took refuge in a haystack. Their weekly prayer gathering then became known as the Haystack Prayer Meeting, which resulted in a global mission movement. Today the Haystack Prayer Monument stands at Williams College in the US as a reminder of what God can do through prayer.

Our heavenly Father is delighted when His children approach Him with a common request. It’s like a family gathering where they’re united in purpose, sharing a common burden.

The apostle Paul acknowledges how God helped him through the prayers of others during a time of severe suffering: “He will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers” (2 Corinthians 1:10–11). God has chosen to use our prayers—especially our prayers together—to accomplish His work in the world. No wonder the verse continues: “Then many will give thanks . . . [for the] answer to the prayers of many.”

Let’s pray together so we can also rejoice together in God’s goodness. Our loving Father is waiting for us to come to Him so He can work through us in ways that reach far beyond anything we could ever imagine.

Reflect & Pray

What request can you and others pray for? How has your faith been strengthened when you pray with others?

Father, help us to pray together even as we work together.

Great thread about the base in Alaska. I just recently found THIS WEBCAM at the Anchorage airport and seaplane port. Fun to watch! Lots of snow on those mountains right now!

How interesting!! I’ve been working at Clear AFS on and off the for the last two years on the new radar facilities. Currently I’m at JBER finishing up a couple of jobs and then doing some upgrades on some F-22 hangars and then heading back up to Clear. We just got a another contract that will keep us busy at Clear for a few years. It’s certainly a lot different now than the photos in the beginning of this thread. God Bless you all for your efforts!!

Any resemblance to Campion AFS near Galena? Man, the chow was so good at Campion I almost hated to leave after my tour of duty.
