Last week we kicked off in a very subtle way a 40 days of prayer challenge. Today, Heather Weber, in her message encouraged us that as followers of Jesus Christ God has given us authority to realize the Kingdom of God here on earth. What an awesome challenge to pray and believe that we can have a part in ushering in peace, righteousness and joy into our lives and the communities that we live in.
Heather also challenged us to pray for the country of Ethiopia and the current famine and drought that is killing so many innocents...
"Father, these are your children, your creation and our brothers and sisters. We feel the pain of dying children, mothers and fathers. Father, will you bring rain into that dry land. Father will you miraculously touch the malnourished. Father, will you supply adequate food to those on the brink of starvation. Father, will you reveal your love and concern for these precious people. Hear our prayer."
33 days to go.
