Be careful how you think;
your life is shaped by your thoughts.

“The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes,” (Psalm 19: 8, ESV).
Dear Intercessors, this is Eleanor Witcher of the Office of Global Prayer Strategy, asking you to pray for families.
O and his wife, J, were Muslim Gurage of Ethiopia with several grown children. One daughter accepted Christ many years ago, creating a crisis in the family. She was threatened with death, so she fled to another city, married, and remained there. Recently O and J traveled to the city. Instead of going to see her, they went to the home of a mutual friend, a believer. The hostess was amazed when O asked for a Bible. O declared that he, his wife and one son had accepted Jesus. After hearing a Gospel radio program in their heart language, he had become curious and was led to the truth about Jesus. The host phoned the daughter, telling her what was happening. She could not believe it, but saw for herself that her mother and father honestly desired reconciliation.
The Light for Taichung Team, Taiwan, writes: “We have asked you to pray in the past for the spiritual awakening of the husbands of Christian women, so they will come to know the Lord. Give thanks that just this past month, one husband, J, accepted the Lord and another has begun attending a Bible-study time with his wife.”
C is a young believer who is receiving pressure from her parents to get married. Several months ago, she began dating a non-Christian but was convicted that this relationship was not pleasing to God. Churches where C lives tend to be filled with more women than men–women married to unbelieving husbands and single sisters struggling with pressure from parents and peers to marry non-believers.
* Please pray that God will raise up strong Christian men to provide spiritual leadership in their homes and churches.
* Pray for the Christian men of Taichung to grow in Christian character.
* Give thanks for family reconciliations and seek out an opportunity to end any strife within your family.
