Show Us Your Glory, Lord… May 13-19, 2024

Dear Praying Friends, I’m looking back today at some journaling I did in 2017 & 2018. One of the questions I posed then, I pose again today: “How do I consider trials pure joy?” As I look at this old journal, I see that I had many trials back then, just as I do today. But I don’t recall what they all were because obviously the Lord brought answers. The Church in the Book of Acts had many trials, too. As we continue in their “journal” and pray through Acts, let’s keep praying: SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD as WE SHARE FELLOWSHIP IN YOUR CHURCH! Blessings~Gina

Monday, May 13, 2024: Acts 10

Prayer Pointer:

“God loves faith so much that He will test it to the breaking point so as to keep it pure and strong.” ~John Piper

Prayer “Fuel”:

Lord, In Acts 10:28, Peter shares Your message with us: We should not “call anyone impure or unclean.” Thank You for extending Your salvation beyond the Jewish people and inviting us to join Your Family. Help us see others as those You have created and those You have died for. Help us to invite others to know Your love as we do! And when we gather with each other, let the flame in each of us be strengthened. (add your own response) SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD as WE SHARE FELLOWSHIP IN YOUR CHURCH!

Tuesday, May 14, 2024: Acts 11

Prayer Pointer:

A believer may pass through much affliction, and yet secure very little blessing from it all. Abiding in Christ is the secret of securing all that the Father meant the chastisement to bring us.

– Andrew Murray

Prayer “Fuel”:

Lord, In Acts 11, criticism has come between Your believers. How well we know this in the Church of today. Help us to pray for one another. Holy Spirit help us to stay in perfect unity to accomplish God’s purposes. When we don’t understand one another, give us grace to pray and share our hearts. We trust You to bring about Your perfect plans in our midst. (add your own response) SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD as WE SHARE FELLOWSHIP IN YOUR CHURCH!

Wednesday, May 15, 2024: Acts 12

Prayer Pointer:

This might be the simplest, most revolutionary step you can take. Will you ask God to father you? Really? Ask Him every day: Father, I need Your help today. I ask You to father me. ~John Eldredge

Prayer “Fuel”:

Let’s pray for the persecuted Church around the world today: Lord Jesus, we pray for all who are being tortured and persecuted for their faith. Your word promises that your grace is sufficient and that your power is perfected in our weakness. I pray that you will bring tangible comfort and grant them the grace to endure their suffering for you. May they be strengthened in ways that surpass all human understanding to stand strong for you. Help them to have courage, recognizing that you yourself, are their light and salvation, they don’t have to feel afraid, because You are the stronghold of their lives. Lord, I pray that though they are experiencing horror, they will not lose hope but that they will have the grace to endure. Help them not to lose heart and give up their belief in the goodness of God. May their hope be placed confidently in you, and may they echo the words of the Psalmist who wrote, “I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living” (Based on 2 Corinthians 12:9, Psalm 27:1, 13). ~From Crosswalk (add your own response) SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD as WE SHARE FELLOWSHIP IN YOUR CHURCH!

We will stand amazed to see the topside of the tapestry and how God beautifully embroidered each circumstance into a pattern for our good and His glory.

– Joni Eareckson Tada

Show Us Your Glory, Lord… May 6-12, 2024

Dear Praying Friends, As I write this, I have just had a morning of Holy Spirit conviction. The Lord reminded me that instead of “rehearsing” what is happening in the darkness, I need to speak the “victory” that comes from His light. I know that many of us are battle-weary and it is easy to become disheartened. My prayer for all of us this week is that we will find Jesus in our fellowship with each other. As we continue through the Book of Acts, let’s keep praying: SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD as WE SHARE FELLOWSHIP IN YOUR CHURCH! Blessings~Gina

Prayer Pointer:

Be the friend who stands in the gap and intercedes in prayer when your friend has no strength to pray. ~Author Unknown

Lord, In Acts 4, we see Your servants, ordinary and unschooled disciples, bringing Your light into the darkness. Help us to do the same. Your light is within all who believe! Help us to walk as your “living lampstands” today and every day in a world that desperately needs Your light. Help us not “rehearse” the deeds of darkness but bring Your Light everywhere we go!

Prayer Pointer:

When we think no one cares, that no one understands, when we have nowhere to turn, when we are parched for a loving word, a tender touch, a helping hand, there is only one way to go–up. ~God’s Wisdom for Your Life/Women’s Edition

Prayer “Fuel”:

Lord, In Acts 6, we see a multitude of gifts among Your servants. Help us to recognize Your gifts in others and to encourage them to use their gifts. Give each disciple the courage to step out and use the gifts that You have placed in them. Your light is within all who believe!

Show us Your Glory, Lord… May 1-5,2024

Dear Praying Friends, As I write this, I am still fervently praying for the upcoming National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 2, 2024. This is the 73rd annual National Day of Prayer. Other Nations will be praying with us and for us. The battles have been pretty intense as we have prepared and I ask for your continuing prayers for the day and beyond. I think we would all agree that America needs our prayers. This month, I will add to our prayer prompt the last component from the dream that I had in December 2023: FELLOWSHIP. I feel that we should pray through the Book of Acts during May to contemplate what His early Church looked like. I invite you to join me in May as we pray: SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD as WE SHARE FELLOWSHIP IN YOUR CHURCH!

Pray on, Saints! ~Gina

Dear Praying Friends! Do you ever feel “stuck”? Wondering which way to turn in times of trial? This past week, I read Psalm 69 and found that David felt the same way. I love the fact that in the midst of his struggles, David still recalls that God is good. In Psalm 69:16 he says, “Answer me, Lord,for your faithful love is good. In keeping with your abundant compassion, turn to me.” In the midst of our difficulties, let’s focus this week on the goodness of God. And let’s keep praying, Show us Your Glory, Lord…as we steward Your gifts! Pray on, saints!~ Gina
