TODAY’S PRAYER
IMB
MARCH 31, 2011
“In an acceptable time I have heard You,
and in the day of salvation I have helped You.”
~Isaiah 49:8a~
WORLD LEADERS. “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence” (1 Timothy 2:1-2). Please pray today for Chief Minister Rueben Meade of Montserrat (island in the Caribbean Sea, southeast of Puerto Rico).
HAUSA OF WEST AFRICA (HOW-suh). “At night, we fall asleep to the sound of witchdoctors dancing and banging their drums. In the morning, we hear the Muslim call to prayer, awakening the whole town. Join us in praying that the Spirit will move in this place and the Lord will call the Hausa to Himself.”
SOUTH ASIAN UNENGAGED PEOPLES. Can you imagine a life that revolves around washing and ironing clothes? That has been the life of millions of families all across India for centuries. These are the Dhobi people of India. The word Dhobi means “washerman.” Please pray for the Dhobi who live in Andhra Pradesh and speak Telugu. These families teach their children to do what they have done all of their lives: take care of the clothes of others. An iron is even part of a girl’s dowry when she is married to a Dhobi man. Along with their occupation in life, Hinduism is also passed down to each generation. Each family makes sure to teach their children the proper way to worship the various family gods, such as Shiva, Ganesh, etc. Would you pray that the Dhobi will come to know the true God who can once and for all eternity make them clean and spotless before Himself, unlike the clothes that they have to wash day after day? http://prayerthreads.imb.org
Heart to Heart with Holley: Beyond the Clouds
Posted: 30 Mar 2011 08:31 AM PDT
I stare at the grey-rain sky.
The clouds have rolled in this week.
I feel it in my heart too–
little puffs of fear, worry, distraction.
But then I remember…
The sun is still there, just like always.
It’s as real as ever.
It hasn’t gone anywhere.
It’s the same way with my heart.
Behind those emotions…
I am loved.
I have a purpose.
God is all and all is well.
That’s as true as it has always been.
Always will be.
Even more certain than the sun.
Faith is being sure of what we hope for
