In the past 30 minutes I received an email filled with encouraging words from someone I’ve only met through this blog, who is lifting me up in prayer, followed by two emails and a Facebook status requesting serious and urgent prayer for other sisters in Christ. I know sometimes technology seems dehumanizing, but today I am praising God for the ways He uses even the Internet to allow us to connect with each other.
I invite you to join me in spending time today in quiet reflection, allowing the Holy Spirit to bring names to your mind and heart. Even across thousands of miles, let’s bring our requests to the Throne and to the Lamb, confident that the Holy Spirit joins us, with groans which words cannot express.
For those praying, and those in need of prayer, I share these song lyrics by Sandra McCracken, based on Psalm 121:
Guardian
Hold on to Me, when you’re so tired
When you are tired
Of holding up your head
Steady on your feet
I will not let you stumble
I will not let you stumble
I will not fall asleep
When you go out,
And when you come home
Like a hedge, like a shield
I’ll be your guardian
When you are afraid,
Look out to the mountains
Look out to the mountains
To the One who keeps you safe
When you go out,
And when you come home
Like a hedge, like a shield
I’ll be your guardian
“I lift up my eyes to the mountains –
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.”
Psalm 121:1-2
