LORD
Satan seems to have Hillsong, Colour and Watoto on his radar. Praise you LORD, we must be moving mountains for him to attack just at the end of our 40 days of prayer. I am use to hearing bad press about Hillsong, but this targeted women, and compassion and watoto. Thank you LORD that you hear our prayers and your will is being done to save your children.
All the glory belongs to you LORD. Any good that happens from this is because of you. Because you blessed us with your words and filled us with faith to pray. We were moved to pray because of you LORD. And because we asked you were able to act through us and for us. All the glory is yours LORD. Your plans are greater than ours, your thoughts greater than ours. We only know in part what one day we will know in full.
We have no idea of the spiritual battle that has taken place because of our prayers. We have no idea of the principalities you have overthrown and protected us from. But we know all we need to know. To trust and believe in you. Believe in your saving power. Your love and grace which covers us all.
We only have a few days left LORD before the opening of the church in Gulu. LORD, keep charging forward through your people. Keep your leaders motivated and full of your Spirit so they will run this race to the very end. Because the opening is only the beginning of their work to rescue as many as possible. To build a future that will lead them into eternity.
I pray that you would make your plans crystal clear to them. Show them what needs to be done to make this successful LORD. To make this last until eternity. So they can take back what belongs to you. Return the plans you have for these children, for Uganda, to build strong christian leadership into this country.
LORD, keep their enemies away from them, and help them to find favour with all the authorities they have to deal with. Protect their grounds LORD, so it will a refuge in a storm, a safe haven for any that walk through their doors needing help.
Help them to find your children, to provide for them, and to rescue them from the darkness.
Thank you LORD for all you are doing in Gulu. For the lives you are changing, the hearts you are healing, and the minds you are renewing. Thank you LORD that no weapon formed against us shall prosper. And we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. And nothing is impossible with you.
Thank you LORD that you provide us with all we need. That you never leave us nor forsake us. But that you will always come to our rescue. That your love is unfailing. Thank you for sending your Spirit to prepare the way. To overcome strongholds, and stand in the gap for us. To intecede on our behalf and to do your will.
Thank you LORD that you are more than enough for us. We don't have the weapons of this world but we have your word which is sharper than any two edge sword. That by our faith we are able to extinguish the arrows of Satan. Thank your LORD, that no one can snatch us from your hand.
We love you LORD. We gather in your name Lord Jesus, and we know that you are in the midst of us, interceding on our behalf. amene

prayer - day 35
LORD,
this is psalm that i love and I ask that you hear this as a prayer from one of your children in Gulu. Your body is united as one, that was your prayer for us, Lord Jesus, before you were arrested.
LORD, I am united as one with these children in prayer. See me as one of them, searching for you with all my heart.
You have searched me and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.
You hem me in—behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,"
even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.
If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name.
Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD, and abhor those who rise up against you?
I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Remember your children LORD. Hear their prayers as we pray on their behalf, as we seek you with all our hearts, remember them LORD, and save them i pray. In Jesus name amene

prayer - day 34
LORD
thanks for today. It was great to hear such an awesome praise report today at church. Being relevant to someone's every day life...it seems to be a theme at the moment. Love it.
You made this day LORD. It belongs to you. You wrote what would happen in our lives today - for all your children. I wonder what you wrote in the lives of the children at Gulu today? I trust that they are a step closer to you. That the way is being prepared for them to escape their captivity.
I pray that the church leaders of KPC and all your workers are standing strong on you. Help them to maintain their spiritual zeal, keep them strong in body and spirit LORD, so they will never give up but keep on pursuing your will in Gulu. LORD, fill them with your word and help them to keep their eyes on you. Not to look to the left or to the right, let your word be a lamp on to their feet and light on to their path.
Help them LORD to make wise choices and to use their words to bring light into this situation. Let even their enemies live at peace with them so there will be no barriers to your cause. So they can build the refuge for your children, and give them a safe place to live, to be children again.
Thank you LORD that we need not fret about what the enemy is doing. Because your plans are greater and you will find a way to help your children. You love is unfailing LORD and you never give up on even 1 lost sheep, but you will leave the 99 to search everywhere for him.
You said your sheep know your voice. I pray let your children hear your voice. Remove any obstacles from their way, so they can return to your pen and know your unfailing love, LORD.
Forgive them for their sins. Hear our prayers LORD. You said if we seek you with all our hearts we will find you and you will bring us out of captivity. Let this be true for your children in Gulu. I pray all this in Jesus name amene.
Lord Jesus, cover me, please. You said we could ask for anything in your name and we shall receive it and our joy will be complete. Lord Jesus, you said to bring the little children to you. Lord, I know you love them even more than me. Please do all you can for them, intervene on their behalf, I pray. I leave it in your hands.

prayer - day 33
LORD
Thank you for helping the children of Gulu. Thank you for sending your Spirit to do your will. I pray Isaiah 32 and Psalm 37 over this land, for the KPC church leadership team in Gulu and the children of Gulu. All your people doing your work in Gulu.
Let your people be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land.
I pray that the eyes of the local authorities, rebel leaders and government officials will no longer be closed and their ears will listen. That their minds will know and understand.
I pray that the tongues of your leaders will be fluent and clear, till your Spirit is poured upon them from on high and the desert of Gulu becomes a fertile field so it seems like forest.
Justice will dwell in the desert and righteousness live in the fertile field.
The fruit of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever. Your people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest. I pray this for the children. Though hail flattens the forest and the city is leveled completely, how blessed they will be.
Your people will not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.
Your people will trust in you and do good, dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
Your people delight in you LORD and you will give them the desires of their hearts. Help them to commit their way to you; trust in you and you will do this:
Let their righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of their cause like the noonday sun.
They will be still before you and wait patiently for you; they will not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
For evil men will be cut off, but your children who hope in you will inherit the land. A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.
But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace.
The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them; but you laugh at the wicked, for you know their day is coming.
The wicked draw the sword and bend the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright. But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.
Better the little that your people have than the wealth of many wicked; for the power of the wicked will be broken, but you uphold the righteous. The days of the blameless are known to you, and their inheritance will endure forever.
In times of disaster they will not wither; in days of famine they will enjoy plenty. But the wicked will perish: your enemies will be like the beauty of the fields, they will vanish—vanish like smoke.
The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously; those you bless will inherit the land, but those you curse will be cut off.
If you delight in a man's way, you makes his steps firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for you uphold him with your hand. I pray this is true for your children in Gulu.
Help your children to turn from evil and do good; then they will dwell in the land forever. For you love the just and will not forsake your faithful ones. They will be protected forever, but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off; the righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.
I pray this for your people in Uganda. That their mouths utter wisdom, and their tongues speak what is just. Your law is in their hearts; their feet do not slip. The wicked lie in wait for the righteous, seeking their very lives; but you will not leave them in the power of the wicked or let them be condemned when brought to trial.
We wait for you LORD and keep your way. You will exalt your people to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, your people will see it. I have seen a wicked and ruthless man flourishing like a green tree in its native soil, but he soon passed away and was no more; though I looked for him, he could not be found.
The salvation of your people comes from you LORD; you are their stronghold in time of trouble. You help them and deliver them; you deliver them from the wicked and save them, because they take refuge in you.
In your name Lord Jesus, amene

prayer - day 32
LORD
please bless the children of Gulu today. Each one of them LORD, in whatever situation they are in - child soldier, homeless, captive, young mother, abused, lost, alone, brain-washed...whatever their life is at this moment, please bless them. Please help them find you. To know you now, remove whatever barriers there are, in Jesus name. So they can know the truth and know that you are their Heavenly Father who loves them.
That you see them right where they are and you are relevant in their every day lives. That you hear their cries and see their pain. For them, you sent your son to the cross, so that they may have life in abundance to the full. So they will be set free, and their broken-hearts healed.
LORD, I believe in you. I believe that you will send your Spirit to help each one of these children. I believe that you will come for them and rescue them like you rescued me. I believe that all things are possible in your name. I believe that we can do all things through you son who strengthens us.
I can't help these children but I can pray for them. I can cover them in my prayers and hide them in you LORD. Please forgive them their sins LORD and save them. Help them to find Watoto, help them to escape their situations, and provide ways for them to be saved.
LORD, move mountains for your children. Bring them home LORD. Help them to find your refuge. Protect them from evil. Protect them from men who would hurt them. Protect them from themselves LORD.
I know you can do it LORD. I know you can change lives and set captives free. I know you can be their shelter from the wind, their refuge from this storm. Please show your body in Gulu right now what needs to be done. Give them the resources they need to bring you glory. Remove all barriers from their paths, so they can achieve your will LORD. Please let your will be done.
You are their Shepherd, they shall not want
You make them lie down in green pastures
You lead them beside the still waters
You restore their souls
You guide them in paths or righteous
for your name's sake
Even though they walk through the valley of death
They will fear no evil
For your rod and your staff protect them
You prepare a table before them
In the presence of their enemies.
You anoint their heads with oil
Their cup overflows
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow them all the days of their lives
And they will dwell in the house of the LORD forever
In Jesus name i pray amene
