Wait, I Say, On the Lord

 

Psalm 27:14: Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. 

Mankind has always feared the unknown, the delayed, darkness, and danger; our fears lurk in such places. But LORD, you are our light and salvation; so whom shall we fear? Only you. And so we come to you, yet again, with petitions and prayers that must be brought into the light, lest they rot our hearts in the darkness.

Summer is a time of Grace Agenda preparations. It is no small task to educate and feed a small army, so be with those who plan—that they may be strong and forget nothing.

Summer is a time of travel, and travel can be dangerous. We pray for safety for our brothers and sisters on the road.

Summer is a time of weddings, which bring unique temptations to our many engaged couples. Keep them chaste and focused on serving others, not themselves.

Summer is a time of activity, which means those sick and damaged can feel their pain more. You have made our bodies your tabernacle, and told us to desire one thing:  to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of our life, to behold the beauty of the LORD. Heal our sick, and do not let their sickness define them. In particular this week we name Barbera, Bekah, Amy, and Tammy.

Summer can be a time of hot opposition from our enemies. We pray for those on the front lines of our spiritual war: Christians in the Sudan, the Madsen family in Zambia, Pastor Toby in Ireland. For we had fainted, unless we had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Do not let them faint.

All of which we ask in your son’s name, Amen
