Thirsts

“God thirsts to be thirsted after.”  —Saint Augustine

This is one of the days I have signed up to fast during our 40 Days of Prayer and having selected to ‘food fast’ I already sense my thoughts running towards my need for food and eating. Yet as Augustine so beautifully points out there is a greater need I have which is to connect with the God who I can not do without and is even more vital to my life than food.

It is for this reason that throughout the Bible God’s people have put aside eating or some other activity that they have come to enjoy in order to connect with Him. As we go through these 40 Days it is my prayer that the Lord will draw you closer to Himself as you pray for your church family and our being strengthened to do more for our Heavenly Father in the new year and years to come.

Remember, we are calling out to the Lord for MORE—

Faith Sharing—Praying that the Lord would give boldness & opportunities to our body to see more nonbelievers trust in Jesus.

Followers of Jesus—Praying that we would see more disciples (sold out followers of Jesus) developed at Grace.

Families—Praying that we would see more marriages & families strengthened in their walk together and with the Savior.

Fellowship—Praying for more members & attendees to deepen their commitment to one another for us to experience biblical community.
