Psalm 119:2-6

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 our 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 hearts beat 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!
