In The Dark In The Daylight

As for us, we have all of these great witnesses who encircle us like clouds. So we must let go of every wound that has pierced us and the sin we so easily fall into. Then we will be able to run life’s marathon race with passion and determination, for the path has been already marked out before us. We look away from the natural realm and we focus our attention and expectation onto Jesus who birthed faith within us and who leads us forward into faith’s perfection. His example is this: Because His heart was focused on the joy of knowing that you would be His, He endured the agony of the cross and conquered its humiliation, and now sits exalted at the right hand of the throne of God! Hebrews 12:1-2 TPT

God, wow what a week, we love You in the darkness and in the daylight, we need You Lord, we humbly come to You knowing that the world seems to be a melting pot of stress and anxiety. The world claims it seeks peace and yet Lord, we know that there is no peace outside of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Have mercy on those that do not know You yet and who have foolishly turned from the true and living God to the false promises of peace from fallen man and corrupt governments.  Show us how to be a part of someone’s salvation story! The one in 99 - You are so so good to us. Lord, there are many that have been brought up in an environment of hatred and violence who have not heard of Your name or have been fed a porridge of lies about Jesus Christ, and yet He is the only hope for true peace in this world. Lord, I pray that in Your grace You would convict many of their need of the Lord Jesus and that many would be saved from the jaws of death.  Look with mercy on those that are unsaved in this warring world and turn their hearts towards Jesus, their Saviour and the only Prince of Peace, in Whose name we pray! We pray hope, we pray healing, we pray deliverance, we pray love, we pray rejoicing, we pray salvation, we pray revival, we pray forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, amen!
