Dear Praying Friends, This week, I found myself in an unexpected storm. As I was leaving the market, it was sprinkling, but by the time I got to my car, it was pouring! It made me think of the spiritual “storms” that sometimes arise in our lives, seemingly out of nowhere. The Lord is reminding me that He is the Lord even of the storm. Remember that in scripture, He spoke peace to the storm. The new Church in the Book of Acts faced stormy days, too. God kept them strong so that even today we hold to God’s Word. Let’s keep pressing on and let’s keep praying: SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD as WE SHARE FELLOWSHIP IN YOUR CHURCH! Blessings~Gina

Wednesday, May 22, 2024: Acts 19
Prayer Pointer:
In this way the word of the Lord spread widely and grew in power. ~Acts 19:20
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!
