Day Eight
I am sure your schedule is as crazy as ours has been this month. It is often easy to grow very tired in the midst of non-stop activity.
It is also easy to loose sight of the most important stuff when the urgent stuff piles up on the desk.
Will you join me in a prayer for focus. I love this passage from Hebrews:
Hebrews 12
1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Action items:
1) Pray that the leadership of the EDGE would run the race, and not become tangled in sin.
2) Pray that we all might fix our eyes on Jesus, who endured to the end. Let us follow his example.
3) Pray that we find in our meditation of Jesus, the power to overcome weariness and downcast hearts.
4) There were lots of prayer requests from Sunday. I do not feel at liberty to share all of them, but as you might have guessed we have people wrestling with stress, and anxiety, and loss, and home foreclosure, and the end of the school year.
5) Please consider forwarding this to people in your prayer circles that might be willing to join us.
Again, thank you for praying, and may your day be filled with joy,
Mark
