prayer - day 28

LORD
just a quick mention of caleb. plse help him to get a good night sleep, his teeth are giving him a lot of trouble. Thank you LORD.

this 40 days of prayer LORD is teaching me about praying consistently for one goal. At some point I have to trust that you have heard all our prayers and repeating them over and over is not for your benefit but for our own. We pray knowing that you already know what we are going to pray for. We know that your Spirit guides our prayers so we learn to pray in line with your will.

But prayer gives you an opportunity to intervene on our behalf. Repeated prayers are really for our own benefit. To keep your will at the forefront of our thoughts. To practice walking in faith and to keep our spiritual zeal. I know because as I pray to you LORD the words pour out and I find myself becoming more stirred in spirit.

Words have power and your words have supernatural power. You said the weapons we fight with are not of this world but they have divine power to demolish strongholds. Your words LORD.

I am praying for these children in Gulu, Uganda, because my heart is filled with compassion for them. You made me this way and you wanted me to pray for them. So i know without doubt that you want to help them. That it was your plan for all your girls to pray in unity for this little place so far from our homes. You connected the Skinners to Hillsong and Marion to Colour for such a time as this. To do your will today.

I love you LORD and I know your thoughts are way beyond all we can comprehend. But my part is clear and I will be faithful because I'm your daughter. And I will pray and pray for these children. The prayers on this blog and prayers during the day. Simple words 'save your children LORD. Rescue Gulu, heal Uganda'.

Or your words - no weapon formed against them shall prosper. Greater are you then he who is in this world. They can do all things through Christ who strengthens them. You will not let them be tempted beyond their ability to cope, but you will provide a way out so they can stand up under it. Your love never fails LORD. That whenever two or three gather you are right their in the midst and whatever we pray for in agreement we shall receive. We pray for your children LORD, rescue them and hide them in us, so you can be their refuge, so they will have a future.

Thank your LORD for these promises. I love you and I know you are in complete control. I will not fear bad reports but put my trust in you and wait expectantly for your will to be done. in Jesus' name, amene.
