“Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
Psalm 46:10
We want to invite you to take a moment to meditate on the glory of God before we jump into this month’s prayer guide. Why? Because it’s easy to become overwhelmed with our day to day stresses, struggles, goals, or even joys. The exhaustion is real, it’s also mundane — so ordinary it can distract from the extraordinary, that we have a God who loves us enough to save us from a life of mere survival for a life of relationship with Him.
So let’s stop the clock! Be still and know He’s God. Rest awhile in the stream of His presence. Then pray with us from the depth of your heart, knowing God is trustworthy to fill your well again.
Below is Psalm 111, a short ten verses packed with praise for Christ. Read it and be refreshed, wherever you find yourself, with the vast goodness of Jesus.
“Praise the Lord!
I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart,
In the company of the upright and in the assembly.
Great are the works of the LORD;
They are studied by all who delight in them.
Splendid and majestic is His work;
And His righteousness endures forever.
He has made His wonders to be remembered;
The LORD is gracious and compassionate.
He has given food to those who fear Him;
He will remember His covenant forever.
He has made known to His people the power of His works,
In giving them the heritage of the nations.
The works of His hands are truth and justice;
All His precepts are sure.
They are upheld forever and ever;
They are performed in truth and uprightness.
He has sent redemption to His people;
He has ordained His covenant forever;
Holy and awesome is His name.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do His commandments;
His praise endures forever.”
Join Us in Praying for Our Home Build!
This week, please join us in prayer for what will be the living room of the new children’s home. The story is in the name: this room is where all the life happens. Toy cars will be vroomed, crafts created, block towers will be built sky high, and chess tournaments will be won and lost on these floors.
How You Can Pray
Pray that deep relationships will be built here that keep our kids connected to our home long after they have moved away.
