On Sunday, 18 Aug., cadets attended Catholic Mass,

On Sunday, 18 Aug., cadets attended Catholic Mass, where CH(MAJ) Lukasz Willenberg, USA, of 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne), preached Mass and showed attendees around the 5th Special Forces Group area. This photo shows one of many groups of cadets who attended chapel services this past summer during their time in Air Assault School at Fort Campbell, Ky.

LTCs Greg and Lucy Lane, USAR (Ret.), who transported cadets to and from chapel and led mid-week studies as the Local Leaders of Fort Campbell OCF, said, "Please pray that each cadet who attended chapel this past summer will choose to participate in Christian growth and fellowship opportunities back on campus and when they get commissioned."

This verse, in context of Mark 9:17-29, would be better understood if it read, “This kind does not go out except through hard work in prayer, which costs the pray-er something.” Our sincerity can be judged by the effort we put into prayer. We get an insight into what prayer meant to the Lord when we read how much it cost him in Luke 22:44.

Bartimaeus was persistent. Mark 10:46-48. See Colossians 4:12-13.

Note in today’s study that lack of faith (verses 17, 20) was a hindrance to prayer. See Hebrews 11:6-11; James 1:6-7.

“Let your words be few” (Ecclesiastes 5:2) shows that quality is more important than quantity.

"Retired, I don’t live near a military base, no local OCF folks near me…what opportunity is there for fellowship/training through Zoom?"

In the September episode of #OCFCrosspoint, COL Steve & Miriam Shambach, USA (Ret.), who serve as the OCF Mountain Central Regional Coordinator couple, answered this question from an OCFer. And in case you missed it, they previously wrote an article, quoted in today's post, on this topic as well.

If you have a question that you want us to consider for a future “Ask OCF” segment, send an email to podcast@ocfusa.org.

Psychology teaches us the enormous importance that

Psychology teaches us the enormous importance that our thoughts have upon our lives. When studying Philippians 4:8-23, the connection between the command in verse 8 to “think,” and the command in verse 9 to “put into practice” is obvious. 📖

How often our prayers are spoiled because of wandering thoughts. “The glorious freedom of the children of God” (Romans 8:21), must include freedom from wandering thoughts. In the matter of concentration some may find it helpful to pray aloud even when alone. Another hint—if tired, try praying while standing up. 💭

Sometimes distracting thoughts are a spiritual attack. In these circumstances it is worth making a note of things that come to mind and praying about them. If they are responsibilities that you have, pray that you will be conscientious and efficient; if they are temptations, pray that you will be guarded and protected from sin; if irrelevancies that the Lord would grant you clear thinking. In this way, you turn distractions into prayerful victory. 🙏

Another practical point is to keep a list or lists of people for whom you want to pray. This may be categorized by those you wish to pray for daily, those you wish to pray for on a particular day of the week and such like. In praying for Christian organizations, such as OCF, use the publications as a prayer reminder. 🗓️
