Dear Praying Friends~Do you ever feel “threadbare”? As I continue to ask the Lord to “pour” me out into the world for His glory, I often feel empty. That “emptiness” is the reminder to get back into my “prayer chair” with the Lord to allow Him to fill me up again. I hope that you have a special place where You meet with the Lord regularly. This is not a time to run on “empty.” Ask Him to fill you again with His Spirit. We will continue to meditate and pray from John 1:5&14 this month along with other scriptures about God’s light. Let’s keep praying: Show Us Your Glory, Lord as Your Light Dawns! Blessings~Gina

Tuesday, November 14, 2023: Read John 1:5,14,1 Corinthians 4:5
Prayer Pointer: Humility is perfect quietness of heart. It is to expect nothing, to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me. It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised. It is to have a blessed home in the Lord, where I can go in and shut the door, and kneel to my Father in secret, and am at peace as in a deep sea of calmness, when all around and above is trouble. ~Andrew Murray
Prayer Fuel: Lord, as I pray for Your Church and my brothers and sisters around the world, help me to do this with a clean heart. I know that my life is not yet perfected to the image of Jesus and that You continue to work in me. Help me to view others with Your grace, mercy, and love. (add your own prayers) Show Us Your Glory, Lord as Your Light Dawns!

As You Have Time: 7 Bible Verses about the Sword of the Spirit
Saturday & Sunday, November 18 & 19, 2023: Read John 1:5,14
Prayer Pointer: The highest glory of the creature is in being only a vessel, to receive and enjoy and show forth the glory of God. It can do this only as it is willing to be nothing in itself, that God may be all. Water always fills first the lowest places. The lower, the emptier a man lies before God, the speedier and the fuller will be the inflow of the diving glory. ~Andrew Murray
