Extended Prayer Points:
"Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.""Then Jesus told them, 'Truly, if you have faith and don't doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this Mount of Olives, 'Move over into the ocean,' and it will. You can get
anything -- anything you ask for in prayer -- if you believe.'" (Matthew 21:21-22, TLB)
"Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised." (Romans 4:19-22, NIV)
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." (Romans 15:13, NIV)
- Pray for those in the autism community that they would not lose faith because of their circumstances, and that they would believe in God's promises for them. Ask the Lord to fill them with abundant joy, peace, and hope.
"Nowhere among the pagan gods is there a god like you, O Lord. There are no other miracles like yours.
All the nations - and you made each one - will come and bow before you, Lord; they will praise your great and holy name. For you are great and perform great miracles. You alone are God." (Psalm 86:8-10, NLT)
"How great he is! His power is absolute! His understanding is unlimited." (Psalm 147:5, TLB)
- Praise God that the Name of Jesus is above all others, including autism, and that His power is well able to turn the tide once and for all!

Today's Turning the Tide Focus: Parents and Marriages
|
Parent's Prayer:
Dear Lord, There are many days that raising a child with autism seems overwhelming and I wonder if I have the strength to continue. There are many times that I doubt my ability and my heart is filled with negative thoughts. Today, I thank you for your word that says I can do everything God asks me to with the help of Christ who gives me the strength and power. I pray that you would fill me and all the parents who have children with autism with your strength and power that would drive all weariness, weakness, and negativity from our bodies, souls, and our spirits. I also ask that you would continuously remind us of your word and your promises. And I ask that you would guard our hearts from being bitter or negative. I pray that you would minister to all the parents with your healing, encouragement, hope, and wisdom. In Jesus' Name, Amen

Extended Prayer Points:
"The Lord lifts the fallen and those bent beneath their loads." (Psalm 145:14, TLB)
"These troubles and sufferings of ours are, after all, quite small and won't last very long. Yet this short time of distress will result in God's richest blessing upon us forever and ever!"
(2 Corinthians 4:17-18, TLB)
- Pray that the parents who feel unable to go on would find the strength they need in the Lord and in His promises to sustain and bless them. Pray that they would be able to have eternal perspectives instead of focusing only on the day's troubles.
"Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them." (Colossians 3:18-19, NIV)
"'Haven't you read,' he replied, 'that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." (Matthew 19:4-6, NIV)
- Pray for the marriages of families dealing with autism that are under tremendous pressure and strain to the point of breaking.
"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves."(Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, NIV)
- Because these families often feel so isolated, pray that their relationships with extended family and friends would be strong and protected.
