In August, let’s pray:
Show Us Your Glory, Lord, as we COMMIT to walk with You!
Dear praying friends, As the August days march on and summer 2024 comes to a close, I pray that you are filled with God’s Spirit and ready to go when He says “GO!” The world we live in has many challenges and we must keep looking to our Lord for strength and hope. The Lord reminded me in my prayer time this morning (8/11) that I need to trust Him. He reminded me that He is an “anchor” in rough spiritual seas and that I can trust Him, my anchor, to hold even when the spiritual winds howl and the floods come! Tell Him today that You trust Him! And let’s keep praying for students, teachers, and parents as the kids return to school. Remember in August that we are also praying: Show Us Your Glory, Lord, as we COMMIT to walk with You!
Pray on, Saints! ~Gina
Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.
He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
And your justice as the noonday.
Proverbs 3:5-6

Prayer Pointer: Imagine the freedom in knowing that the Creator of the universe values you for who you truly are, not for how you appear or what you’ve achieved. He sees your kindness, your struggles, your quiet acts of faith. The prayers whispered in the night, the patience shown in frustration, the love offered without recognition—these are what catch God’s attention. -Our Daily Verse
Prayer “Fuel”: Lord, please help each of us in Your Body worldwide to live according to the Spirit. We want Your life and peace and we know that only comes as we stay in step with Your Spirit. Let us not be hostile to Your leadings, but fully submitted. (add your own response) Show Us Your Glory, Lord, as we COMMIT to walk with You!
Think/Journal/Apply: Will you begin to intentionally filter out and take captive every thought that does not reflect Him?
