THERE with Good News when survivors ask ‘Where is God in This?’ Encourage others how you, your Church and Christian Community are “battle ready” sharing Christ in emergencies large and small. Send your encouraging stories or requests for interviews with the CEN National Team to: John.Phelps@christianemergencynetwork.net
Let’s PRAY together, Lord:
Help us as your followers to be aware of the times yet standing “battle ready” to respond with your Hope and Truth in the midst of the chaos.
Help pastors all around the world to run to the alters with humility calling your flock to repentance and holiness for your name’s sake.
Give us Your strength to avoid denial and focus on preparing our families for the journey ahead spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically.
Lord, our heart beats along with yours for those with spiritual blinders and earmuffs. We pray, as you do, they will be open to the Good News which will restore and renew their life eternally.
Help us to embrace fully moment by moment the words in Proverbs 3:4-6 to not lean on our own understanding, but in all our ways acknowledge You Lord, to direct our paths. Amen!
