Well the last two days have honestly been the most intense yet… God is moving our hearts and teaching us a lot. For one, we have gotten exhausted from the schedule starting at 6am and going until 10pm or so. In our weakness, there are so many testimonies of grace. There’s grace to take a break, there’s grace to let someone else lead, there’s even grace to push back the schedule and allow for more rest!
But what has been encouraging is how we are all learning that though we are called to pray, serve and lead—the result doesn’t rise and fall on our performance. As intercessors, we don’t always have to be eloquent in our cry for mercy. As servants, we can take a night off and let someone else help. And as leaders, we don’t always have to be dynamic and high energy.
In the core of our weakness, though weakness is humbling and sometimes disappointing, we are learning that God’s glory is so much greater in our lack and need. And what’s resulted is even more amazing. Because we’re learning to cry out for help, our posture before Him is so much more open to His touch, His love, and His spirit to really move deep within us. It’s a reality that has brought a mixture of deep laughter and touching tears in our hearts.
We would really love your prayers for our team and us. As you read, please lift up:
~ Pray for a new grace and energy to cover the Luke18 leaders. As we build towards TheCall, pray for a greater level of sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. Pray we are sensitive to His touch personally and also for His insight as we pray. We need Him!
~ Pray for healing and strength and protection. We walk all over and stand for 2 hours in prayer at the Supreme Court daily. I stubbed my toes really hard on uneven pavement and a cord hidden in grass cut my ankle. Neither are serious injuries but these little things are happening to many on the team and as we walk and stand much of the day, our legs and feet are key and don’t need one more distraction of discomfort.
~ Pray for TheCall. Our part is to pray and soften the soil before hand, but there are many working on countless details I couldn’t even count. Ask the Lord to fuel the staff in these days before the event and for His grace to give them peace as they work out of the love that beams in their hearts to serve Jesus.
Each of you mean so much to us. Thank you for joining us on this journey.
