This entry is identical to the Daily Devotional Challenge that Team Kenya is using during their trip.  It is a study on the 10 Core Values of International Christian Center.

WE VALUE PRAYER

Scripture Meditations

1 Thessalonians 5:17
Never stop praying.

Luke 19:45
Then Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out the people selling animals for sacrifices.  He said to them, “The Scriptures declare, ‘My Temple will be a house of prayer,’ but you have turned it into a den of thieves.”

Matthew 7:7
Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.

Matthew 18:19
I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you.
