Pray
"He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness (mercy) and to walk humbly with your God." Micah 6:8 (ESV)
God Almighty, we come into Your presence with awe of your ways and power, truly indescribable in our humanity. Yet, in your Holy Bible, you inspired us to have knowledge of you, your ways that indeed are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:9).
God, our Father, we ask now your help to abide in these ways you prescribe for us:
-that we rejoice when justice as you describe it is fully met, serving mankind best and that we live justly with all others around us
-that of our emotions, feelings, thoughts and actions about others that we sincerely have love, mercy and kindness even when they don't deserve it. Please correct us when we make errors from your great kindness towards us. Help us remember that you don't want any to perish but desire all to come to salvation--therefore let us agree with you. Even in hurt, anger and disappointment with leaders, family members that we remember you made them as you have us. But also help us stand for truth as you define it.
-that humility is the only path to you as you alone are the Creator of all. We are created and designed to serve you and bring you glory. Show us what true humility is: not weakness but submission to you with the strength to show up, speak up and take actions that defend your sovereignty in everything. Strengthen us to face our times without fear of man, but reverence to you above anyone or anything.
our LORD and Savior in Your holy Name, AMEN
AWARE - READY - THERE?
With mounting International and Domestic Christian persecution we do not need to fear because God gave us a blueprint to be READY to respond in the midst of the chaos. He outlined the path for Christians to be together and to self-organize and self-mobilize to first protect ourselves and then to honor His call to be THERE sharing Christ. CEN Ready training shows Christians how to be AWARE, READY, and THERE in any crisis with the Hope of Christ.
