"Meditation – 60 Days of Prayer" from The Upper Room in Nashville, Tennessee, United States for Tuesday, 8 November 2016 "WEEK 8: EPILOGUE"
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8
WEEK 8: EPILOGUE
Read Galatians 6:18 The grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.
A Reading from God Unbound:
Beloved church, can we agree to let God have our anxiety? God knows how hard it is for us to let go. We simply have to be willing to be made willing. Just a tiny degree of openness allows God to work with us – like dandelion seeds. They blow on the wind, fall into every crack in the asphalt – and before you know it a parking lot is in bloom. Church, do you realize we are on the cusp of a new Great Awakening? And it looks like a spiritual dandelion explosion as far as the eye can see. God’s new thing is networked, exponential, Spirit-breathed, decentralized, a vast planting of small communities of faith that birth small communities of faith that continue to multiply. It is very much the work of laypeople, and it is emerging as a natural progression out of the church that used to be.
Prayer: God, we can not possibly understand how You work in the world – always doing a new thing. But, we do want to engage and be an active part of Your kingdom. We love You. May we be willing to be made willing. Amen.
Post your prayer for the church to the Prayer Wall.
