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
Monday, May 6, 2024: Acts 3
Prayer Pointer:
Regardless of how bad things appear, God is greater than any situation. ~Max Lucado
Prayer “Fuel”:
Lord, In Acts 3, we see Your servants bringing Your light into the darkness of a lame man. 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! 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!
Think/Journal/Apply:
Where does God want me to release His Light today?
