(Dear Readers, we bring our Sabbath prayers and requests to you for inclusion of people who need you to pray for them. We have seen the power of prayer working in the lives of a number of these people for whom you have prayed in the past and we earnestly request you all to continue).
As we go about our daily lives, let us keep our eyes open for moments when the Glory of the Lord shines around us. It may be in a sunset, a kind word from a friend, a healing we may have experienced, fears calmed, or a sudden unexpected sense of peace. And when we feel that radiance, let us remember the good news that the shepherds heard. That God's love and grace are for all people, and through Jesus we can experience the fullness of God's glory.
In Psalm 19:1 (KJV) we read - "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork." How much so should we.
This Psalm reminds us that we can experience God's glory every day simply by looking at the world around us, and consciously experiencing His hand in our lives everyday.
Today, because of His glory in our lives we can confidently pray thus:
Dear Lord, thank you for mending my broken places and broken body and healing, with your grace. Now help me to be an instrument of your healing by sharing the good news of what you have done, and, are doing, in my life. Help me to never waste my sorrows but invest the riches of my story with those in need.
We thank you for the healing you have provided Samira, Joan and Lisa's daughter who is stable. We thank you for the healing of mind you have provided Jen and we pray for her clinical trials. We also pray for Alison's daughter, for relief from her disease and peace for Lisa and Alison.
We pray for Wendy's job, for Paladin who is struggling to keep up financially and dependent on others. We join Montana as she prays for the souls of the 100-plus Iranian elementary school children who were bombed.
We pray for Randy to be freed from his affliction. for peace for Trishey, for people all over the world suffering the outcome of war.
We look toward India and lift up Your servants. Be with Pastor Ben and his family, covering them with Your protection. We especially pray for the family facing a father’s serious illness. Guard his heart against despair; let him feel the tangible weight of Your grace. Empower his daughter as she cares for him—give her supernatural stamina and a peace that surpasses the gravity of the situation.
Lord, we very specially pray today for peace. The world is in the grip of hatred and war; killing of innocent people. we pray that you empower the leaders with sanity and the intelligence to carve our a peaceful solution as well as look to you for their guidance.
We shoin Jana who is in a serious crisis of faith and lost hope of anything ever getting better exhausted now. Let us support Jana in our prayers as well.
As we go through this day, may this Sabbath be defined by: Rest that mends the weary.
Peace that silences the storm. Gratitude that births new joy.
Light that makes the next step clear.
Amen.
Please join us every week in our Sabbath Prayer for the week. We request your support in adopting prayer points for people mentioned, in your own prayers this week and become vessels of His healing.
