prayer - day 40

LORD, last day of praying for the children of Gulu, for the Skinners and the church they are setting up, refuge for the children, for Uganda and it's future. I pray that the opening of the church will just be the start of a plan to save this area from destruction, to give back to the children the future you have planned for them.

Thank you LORD, for hearing our prayers. For filling us with your Spirit so we are able to pray in line with your will, so that Satan is defeated and your plans are fulfilled.

I cover my prayers with your Word LORD as spoken through Isaiah. Words that aret timeless and apply to us, to our prayers and to the children of Gulu. Jesus said that we overcome by his blood and our testimony. These words are my testimony LORD of who you are and all your glory. Love you LORD.

Seek the LORD while he may be found;
call on him while he is near.

Let the wicked forsake his way
and the evil man his thoughts.

Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him,
and to our God, for he will freely pardon.

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD.
"As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands...

"Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.

When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;...

Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you, and people in exchange for your life.

Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, 'Give them up!' and to the south, 'Do not hold them back.'

Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth- everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made."...

You are my witnesses," declares the LORD, "that I am God. Yes, and from ancient days I am he. No one can deliver out of my hand. When I act, who can reverse it?"

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.

I pray this for the children of Gulu LORD. The children of Uganda. Thank you LORD for your Word is shaper than a two edged sword. In Jesus name, I leave this in your hands. amene
