Show Us Your Glory, Lord… August 4,2025…Keeping Close

Dear Praying Friends,

Almost every day, I hear of a report of an earthquake somewhere. Perhaps this has always been the case in the earth, but with the rapid reporting of news we are hearing these things much more often.

As I meditate on what it means to be unshakable, I believe I must do these things:

Stay close to the heart of God. During the pandemic year, He reminded me over and over to “fear not.” I believe He is saying the same thing to me now. Knowing that God is with me and I’m not walking these difficult days alone is helping me to be unshakable. (Isaiah 41:10)
Ask God for ways to be a servant. I have found that when I am floundering, helping others brings great joy and strength. I recently visited inmates in our local jail and heard some heartbreaking stories of loss. When I look for someone who needs a hand up, I will be sure to find one. And there is an additional blessing in serving…God tells us that it promotes us to greatness in His Kingdom. (Mt. 20:26-28)
Turn anxiety into prayer. My whole life I have battled anxiety. When I was a little girl, my dad would say, “Gina, you worry too much.” Even as a very little girl I wanted to pray for everyone. I believe that the Lord was teaching me then and continues to teach me now that I should not entertain anxiety but allow it to be the springboard to greater prayer. (Phil. 4:6)

And so I pray on into August 2025 and I invite you to join me:

SHOW US YOUR GLORY, LORD! HELP US TO THRIVE IN 2025 AND HELP US TO BE UNSHAKABLE. (based on Psalm 62:6)

Let’s keep praying for Nation and neighbor…
