Come and sit and ask Him whatever is on your heart. No question is too small, no riddle too simple. He has all the time in the world. Come and seek the will of God. Max Lucado

Holy God,
Thank You so much for this beautiful world that You have given us to live in. We look around us and see Your glory in every leaf and every cloud. We see Your love of beauty in the flowers that dance to their own silent music of praise. We are awed by the birds as they fly across the sky and sing to You.
Healer of bodies and souls, we call out for Ashley and Penny and ask that Your healing hand be upon them. And if it is Your will to bring them home to You, LORD, bring them home gently.
Jehovah Shalom, Our God of Peace, be with Frank’s family as they recover from this devastating loss. There is no pain deeper that the loss of your child, so touch them and give them peace.
Mighty Warrior God, we lift up Your children in India as they face this persecution and ask that You be their protector and sustained. I thank You for their witness that says that nothing will happen to them that the LORD Almighty does not permit to happen and that anything You permit You will bring them through.
LORD God, we pray for the team that is going to Jos. Grant them traveling mercies. Let all the medical supplies be delivered safely. Let them represent You clearly to those they will meet.
LORD, during this time we are seeking Your will for each of us individually in this VF21 campaign. Show us what You would have us to do. Help our faith be strong and our commitment be strong. Use us to work a miracle.
Holy Spirit, we lift up those who continue to be on our prayer list and ask that Your will be done in each life. In each situation, may You be glorified and worshiped.
We pray for our missionaries, LORD God, that You will keep their vision fresh, their needs met, and their lives safe in Your hand. Thank You for Your promise to care for us.
Father God, we lift up the pastors and leaders of our churches. We ask Your blessings on our ministries. Abba, we pray for the two church plants. LORD, You promised that the gates of hell would not prevail against Your church, we ask that we not only prevail against the gates of hell, but that we batter them down and through Your power, we rescue eternal souls from satan’s power.
LORD Jesus, we lift our country before You and ask that in this time of destruction and tragedy that You keep us strong and working to rebuild the lives of those who have been ripped out of the normal of their lives and made to be refugees in their own country. In God we trust.
LORD God, to bow down before You and sing Your name in worship is joy beyond compare. Just to say Your name is to feel Your peace in our troubles. You are everything. We love You, LORD God. It is incredible to know that we will be with You forever.
