Show Us Your Glory, Lord… August 20,2025…Keeping Close

FREE TO RUN…

Dear Praying Friends,

I didn’t write a post for the morning of August 19. Just processing a lot, I guess and the words were just not there. But I am writing this now at the end of August 19 after spending much time in prayer today.

While I was in a special “prayer place”, I felt the Lord was impressing on me the lyrics of a song. I wrote the words “Free to Run” in my journal and they seemed especially important. A friend came to mind and I sent him an email telling him of my impressions. I felt there was message for him and for me in these words: “Free to Run.” At the end of this day, through much prayer, I feel these words may be for others, too.

I had a picture in my mind of myself, my friend, and now maybe even the Church, limping along, but now getting up again to RUN. In the picture, we were at a full RUN!

Perhaps you feel that the trials of life and this world have put a “limp” in your spiritual step. As I prayed today, I felt that God was showing me that this will change and we will get up and RUN again.

My friend reminded me of Isa. 40:31:

“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”

I’m going to continue to press on for a renewed strength and vision from the Lord. May we all be “FREE TO RUN” again!

And 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…
