prayer - day 39

LORD
In these last days I just what to speak your promises to us your children, speak your Word which sustains us.

You said you plans are to prosper us not to harm us, plans to give us a hope and future. Let this be true of your children in Gulu. May they find that future with you at Watoto or any other means you have provided for them. Please fill them with your hope.

We call upon you LORD and pray and you listen to us. We seek you and find you because we seek you with all our hearts and you will bring us back from captivity. Please let this be true of the children in Gulu. That you will bring them out of captivity because of our many prayers which cover them. I ask in Jesus name. Thank you LORD.

I pray that your workers in Uganda will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm for these children. Like streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land. May they quench the thirst of the lost in Uganda, LORD.

Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed, and the ears of those who hear will listen. Help the government authorities, local authorities to see and listen to the leadership team so the way will be made clear for your church to be established with favour in Gulu.

No weapon formed against them shall prosper. The children of Gulu will be sent free from captivity by the power of your Spirit, LORD. Jesus said with man this is impossible but with you, LORD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. We can do all things through Jesus who strengthens us.

We lift up our eyes to the hills where does our help come from? Our help comes from you LORD the Maker of heaven and earth.

You will not let our feet slip, you watch over us and do not slumber. You are our shade at our right hand, the sun will not harm us by day nor the moon by night.

You will keep us from all harm and watch over our lives. You watch over our coming and our going both now and forevermore.

We dwell in your shelter and rest in your shadow. I will say of you LORD, you are our refuge and our fortress, my God, in whom I trust

Surely you will save us from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. You cover us with your feathers and under your wings we find refuge, your faithfulness will be our shield and rampart.

We will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day. Nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.

A thousand may fall at our side, 10,000 at our right hand, but it will not come near us.
We will only observe with our eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.

If we make you our dwelling, you who are our refuge then no harm will befall us, no disaster will come near our tent. For you command your angels concerning us to guard us in all our ways; they lift us up in their hands so that we will not strike our feet against stones. We tread upon the lion and the cobra. We trample the great lion and the serpent.

Because we love you, You rescue us, protect us because we acknowledge your name. We call upon you and you answer us. You are with us in trouble, You deliver us and honor us. With long life you satisfy us and show us your salvation.

Thank you LORD that these promises are true for all your children. Those of us who know you now and those who will know you soon because of the awesome work of your body. The children in Gulu who know you now LORD and those who will know your soon. You know are names LORD and we all belong to you. I pray in the name which is above all names, Jesus, our Saviour, amene.
