“Give ear O God and hear; open your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears your Name. We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of YOUR great mercy.” Daniel 9:18
Let’s PRAY together, Lord:
Help us as your followers to be aware of our times and make prayer a priority like Daniel responding with your Hope and Truth in the midst of the chaos. Daniel 9:18
Help our pastors all around the world to run to the altars in humility calling your flock to repentance seeking holiness and righteousness for your name’s sake. Mathew 6:31 -34
Give us Your strength to avoid denial or anxiety and focus on preparing our families for the journey ahead spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically. Mathew 6:31-34
Lord, our hearts beat along with yours for those with spiritual blinders and earmuffs. We pray, as you do, they will seek your wisdom and be open to the Good News which will restore and renew their life eternally. Proverbs 24:3-4
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!
