SacramentoPRAYS
Uniting people to pray in the Greater Sacramento Region.
I had a dream recently that my husband was taking down all of the pictures from the walls of my home office. I sobbed as I tried to stop him. These were my pictures, the very best of my memories, treasures of my life - past, present and future.
It took a close friend to help me realize that it was Jesus taking away my treasured pictures. To me they represented all of my understanding and methods of valuing what was, is and will be. My visual images of what mattered, and what it looked like for me to be loved and to love.
Interestingly, the Lord replaced my pictures with a picture of Himself, smiling reassuringly. This picture of Jesus beckons me to trust Him; to know that He’s got it. To rest assured that it’s okay.
Surrendering the pictures of our lives - past, present and future - is one of the most freeing things we can do. The experiences in this life are meant to propel us into greater depths of seeking Him, and to grow us in our praise and thanksgiving worship of the Living God. Often times pictures limit the scope of our thankfulness and become a stumbling block to experiencing the fullness of what the Lord is currently doing in and around us, simply because His ways do not fit into the limitations that our pictures impose. Isn’t it time we just focus on Jesus?
Before His throne together,

Last year, this worship & praise event was held at Cornerstone Community Church and it was the highlight of the year! Do plan to be with us and to stay for the fellowship time afterward as it provides us opportunity to get to know others in the body of Christ.

Remember last year when CAROLS at the CAPITOL was birthed in Sacramento on the front steps of our beautiful State Capitol?
Well, this year CAROLS at the CAPITOL is being hosted throughout America including at our nation's Capitol, GLORY to GOD in the highest! Founder Andrea O'Brien has connected with a number of State leaders plus has the support and blessing of National Day of Prayer including Shirley Dobson and Lisa Crump. Please bring the Family and join us in Sacramento this year from 1:00 - 3:00, then go enjoy ice skating or other festivities in the City!
Would you like to be on the PRAYER TEAM for CAROLS at the CAPITOL? Even if you cannot be there in person (due to distance or a previous commitment) we would love to have your prayer agreement and covering.
