A special thanks to Margaret Arthur for providing the daily themes and scriptures this week. Each day there are 2 scriptural groundings for the daily theme.
Monday
Pray that God will help us build relationships with people outside of our walls of comfort. Pray that God will show us how to go to them, and meet them where they are.
Pray that we can see their true needs, and that we do not automatically interpret differences from us, as needs for them.
Matthew 9:11-13; Exodus 33:19
Tuesday
Pray that we are filled with God's passion, yes passion, for healing hurting people and to live in shalom (peace, harmony, interconnectedness) with God's family.
Pray that they will be aware of their hurts, and trust God through us to bring healing.
Colossians 3:12-15; Psalm 34:18
