Friday Prayer
Hey Church!
Just a reminder that Jess and I will not be having prayer at our house in Lincoln tomorrow night. We're off to Bangor on a date! Thanks Papa and Mimi!
Thank you to all of you who are diligently praying, whether that be with us or in your own homes!
“Frequently complaints are made and surprise expressed by individuals who have never found a blessing rest upon anything they have attempted to do in the service of God. ‘I have been a Sunday-school teacher for years,’ says one, ‘and I have never seen any of my girls or boys converted.’ No, and the reason most likely is you have never been violent about it; you have never been compelled by the Divine Spirit to make up your mind that converted they should be, and no stone should be left unturned until they were. You have never been brought by the Spirit to such a passion, that you have said, ‘I cannot live unless God bless me. I cannot exist unless I see some of these children saved.’ Then, falling on your knees in agony of prayer, and putting forth afterwards your trust with the same intensity towards heaven, you would never have been disappointed, ‘for the violent take it by force.'” - Spurgeon
This was personally shared with me this week: what a great reminder to me. God hears, responds to, and desires to be sought in prayer.
How amazing that we can talk with God?
