prayer challenge - day 14

Pray that you and your people would “dwell in the shelter of the Most High, abide in the shadow of the Almighty” so that you can “say to the Lord, ‘my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust!’ For it is He who delivers from the snare of the trapper and from the deadly pestilencel He will cover you with His pinions and under His wings you may seek refuge. His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark. You will not be afraid of the terror by night or of the arrow that flies by night or the pestilence that stalks in darkness or of the destruction that lays waste at noon. For you have made the Lord, my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place. No evil will befall you nor will any plague come near your tent For He will give His angels change concerning you to guard you in all your ways.” Psalm 91:1-6, 9-11

Relationships. Today let’s pray for the relationships in our lives.

Pray that you, your husband, and your children would “pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another” Romans 14:19

And “if therefore, you are presenting your offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your offering there before the altar and go your way; first be reconciled to your brother and then come and present your offering. “ Matthew 5:23,24

Wow. Relationships. Powerful. Priority.

And just one additional thought. You’ve been praying for several days now. It’s very likely that the Enemy has whispered once or twice to you -”this isn’t gonna do any good”. Well, don’t believe that lie. The Truth is that our prayers do result in good! Hebrews 6:6 says “And without faith it is impossible to please Him for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him” My dear sisters, we demonstrate our faith - tho it be small or feeble - by the very act of our prayers! Coming to Him as we have been doing shows that we believe Him! We believe that HE IS and that He rewards those who seek Him!!! Be encouraged!

And if the enemy still plagues you with thoughts that your faith isn’t strong enough, then send him into retreat by proclaiming like the father of the desperately sick boy in Mark 8 - “I do believe…HELP MY UNBELIEF!”

We are going to pray about our finances today. God deeply cares about our needs, and He has more than enough resources to meet them. He uses money (the lack and the abundance) as opportunities for us to experience His grace. To see His faithfulness. To trust His provision. To share His gifts.

Pray for a heart that is willing and generous and trusting. 2 Corinthians 8:12; 9:7,8 says “for if the readiness is present, it is acceptable according to what a man has, not according to what he does not have.”

“Let each one do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver, and God is able to make all grace abound to you, that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed”

Especially pray for contentment. “Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am in. I know how to get along with humble means and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need — I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.”
