Pressing In

Dear prayer team,

 

This may sound redundant, but please be praying with us as we transition leadership over the next month.  

 

Every member of our team is stepping into a new role and into greater leadership in some form or fashion.  We will be gaining some new interns over the summer and several of us will be moving into new apartments within the next month/two months.  These things are great, but they also make for a lot of practical stress and require time.

 

Our disciples are making disciples... PRAISE GOD... and this means we also need to give more time and energy to them. We are all being stretched more and more out of our comfort zones and beyond our ability to do things out of our own strength and wisdom.  

 

Your prayers during this time will be vital!  These good things that God is doing will be met with opposition from the enemy. And they already are. We need you to provide "air cover," so to speak, as we fight this battle on the ground.

 

Pray as the Spirit leads you. Here are some key things we are praying for…

 

·         Pray that we will be filled with the Spirit and that each new step and decision will be made according to his direction and power.

 

·         Pray that we will be protected from the evil one and that his schemes will be exposed and nullified.

 

·         Pray for unity – that all the details of moving and new leadership roles will be worked out through the Spirit of Christ and that no seed of conflict or division will be able to enter any of our hearts.

 

·         Pray that we will be full of joy, empty of anxiety, remembering God's nearness and bringing our requests to him.

 

·         Pray that his peace which surpasses understanding will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

 

·         Above all else, pray that God will be glorified in and through us during this time!

 

If you are in Christ, you are covered in his righteousness, and your prayers are powerful and effective!  We trust that God will use you mightily! 

 

We thank God for you!
