Humbling Ourselves

Today we are fasting and praying for a spiritual breakthrough in our church. We are wanting to see God do great things in our congregation. We want to humble ourselves before the Lord and submit ourselves to Him. Here's some Word from the Lord for you to meditate on as you go about your day.

5Likewise you younger people submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble."
6Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,
7casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
8Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
9Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.
10But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
11To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
1 Peter 5:5-11 NKJV


Lord, I pray that our prayer and fasting today would be done in a spirit of humility. Please help each of us to be submissive. Lord, we cast all of our cares upon you for your Word says that you care for us. Help us to resist the devil and be steadfast in our faith. And through our time of fasting and prayer, we ask that you would perfect, establish, strengthen and settle each one of us. Lord, we give you all the glory in your precious name. Amen.

Ladies, I pray your day will be blessed as the Lord works in each of you. I'll see you at prayer tonight.

Love,
Sis. D
