pray2ng

Prayer has always been the central & most effective weapon,
but the one most challenging and difficult to wield...

We'd rather spend our thoughts and words on other things,
thinking that those are more worthwhile and pay a higher dividend

But somethings are too important not to take a stand...
Today, i take a stand in prayer for the generations to come,
we raise up a battle cry, a Holy standard, a divine call to arms,
May we have a generation given over to Loving & serving God,
not caught up in the sensuality or cheap deceptions of this age
but one which hungers & thirsts for Christ's Living water,
His divine righteousness, and one to whom all compromise seems bitter...

May the beauty that we possess come from a radiance within,
may the passion we have, not be marred by a culture of opportunistic grabbing,
may we have a settledness that comes from knowing Christ,
a patient waiting on the Lord, and moving only when He calls,
not a moment before...
Not like King Saul when he moved before he ought (1 Samuel 13:8-15)

Let us be people who seek You and find You because we seek You

with ALL of our hearts...

I'm thankful for the clarity once again, 

and I know that it's not something easy to bear...

Thank you for looking out and for caring for me too,

I appreciate that so much, and I'm glad you see that also 

You are a gem...

And now, as i listen and sense your burden also,

I know that it is a god-given, god-sized one,

so...may it be held in His big hands...

May your heart be lifted as you walk this...not alone

with the Holy Spirit as your guide, 

and with Him by your side...

May this triumph of generations that we fight for,

may it be a worthy cause, and one in which we will not back down

I'm glad we're fighting alongside, arm in arm...

Simple Faith and Plain Truth

1-3 The first thing I want you to do is pray. 

Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know. 

Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well 

so we can be quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation. 

This is the way our Savior God wants us to live. 

4-7 He wants not only us but everyone saved, you know, 

everyone to get to know the truth we've learned: 

that there's one God and only one, 

and one Priest-Mediator between God and us—Jesus, 

who offered himself in exchange for everyone held captive by sin, 

to set them all free. 

Eventually the news is going to get out. 

This and this only has been my appointed work: 

getting this news to those who have never heard of God, 

and explaining how it works by simple faith and plain truth. 

8-10 Since prayer is at the bottom of all this, 

what I want mostly is for men to pray—

not shaking angry fists at enemies but raising holy hands to God. 

And I want women to get in there with the men in humility before God, 

not primping before a mirror or chasing the latest fashions 

but doing something beautiful for God and becoming beautiful doing it.

1 Timothy 2:1-10 (The Message)
