Show Us Your Glory, Lord…

January 13-19, 2025

A song that fits our Theme…Open the Heavens…show us Your glory!

Dear Praying Friends, The Lord woke me up this morning thinking about the LONELY. Sometimes I get lonely and I’m sure that you do, too. We need to remember that we are NEVER ALONE! Let’s keep praying:

Show Us Your Glory, Lord…And Help Us to THRIVE in 2025!

Know someone who is lonely? I encourage you to start a JOY JAMBOREE! Our scriptures this week will focus on GOD’S PRESENCE!

Pray on, Saints! ~Gina

Monday, January 13, 2025: Psalm 16:11, Exodus 33:14

Prayer Pointer: “The remarkable thing about fearing God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everything else.”  — Oswald Chambers

Prayer “Fuel”: Lord, I ask You to show me the paths of life. Help me remember today and every day that You are here and waiting to hear from me. For my brothers and sisters, too! (add your own prayers) Show Us Your Glory, Lord…And Help Us to THRIVE in 2025!

Think/Journal/Apply: What specific fears have been holding me back recently? 

As You Have Time: Take some time today if you are able to “practice” silence. Yes, I think we’d all agree that silence is hard and it takes practice. Try setting you timer for 5 minutes to start as you learn to practice silence. If you did this exercise last week, try going a minute longer! You may want to start by simply saying, “Speak, Lord, your servant is listening.” Ok…ready, set, go!

Tuesday, January 14, 2025: Genesis 3:8, Jeremiah 29:13

Prayer Pointer: Outside of Christ, I am only a sinner, but in Christ, I am saved. Outside of Christ, I am empty; in Christ, I am full. Outside of Christ, I am weak; in Christ, I am strong. Outside of Christ, I cannot; in Christ, I am more than able. Outside of Christ, I have been defeated; in Christ, I am already victorious. How meaningful are the words, “in Christ.” — Watchman Nee

Prayer “Fuel”: Lord, I thank You that I don’t have to hide from You like Adam and Eve in the Garden. Because of Your precious Blood, You say that I can come boldly to Your Throne to find mercy and grace again today. (Hebrews 4:16) (add your own prayers) Help me, help my brothers and sisters everywhere to seek You wholeheartedly! (add your own prayers) Show Us Your Glory, Lord…And Help Us to THRIVE in 2025!

Think/Journal/Apply: How can I confront my fears with the truth of God’s perfect love?

As You Have Time: Pray for North Macedonia…Pray for outreach happening in the town of Prilep. In cooperation with the local churches, believers will be trained in evangelism and prayer.

(Acts 11:19-14:28) ~Every Home for Christ

A worship song for today: Where Can I Go

Wednesday, January 15, 2025: James 4:8, Psalm 27:4

Prayer “Fuel”: Lord, I choose to come near to You today, longing to know more of Your beautiful heart for me. I long to gaze upon Your beauty! Help me, Holy Spirit, to lay aside “busyness” even for a few moments to know God more! Help my brothers and sisters, too!

Strengthen the hands of those who work tirelessly to safeguard our streets – the brave men and women of our police and fire departments, the selfless healthcare workers, and all the dedicated individuals who serve our city with unwavering dedication. Let your presence be a shield of safety and comfort for us all, and we will be ever grateful. Amen. ~from 15 Powerful Prayers for Your City
