Prayer Wednesday

Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
But we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

Lord, this day we pray for the leaders of the nations. 

We bring to You our own elected leaders: our Prime Minister, our Premier, and our various Mayors.

You say that leadership matters. You told us to submit ourselves to governing authorities – because there is no authority except that which You have established. “The authorities that exist have been established by You.” 

We thank You for the women and men who help lead our country. We thank You for their lives. We ask Your blessing on them. We ask that they lead with wisdom and humility. We ask that You use them to bring Your Kingdom here and now. 

We also pray for our neighours to the south. We pray for unity for them. We ask that You settle them into the truth of Your love. We ask that the U.S.A. would be a force of peace and kindness to the nations. Bless and keep whichever candidate wins the election. And may Your Kingdom come.

Praying with you today.

Andrew

Luke 3:1-20 - The first mention of baptism in the Bible begins with John. John was the cousin of Jesus and also His opening act. John called the people of his day to "Get Ready." The public sign of a life getting ready for God was, and still is, baptism. Get washed so God can do what God wants to do.

Revelation 21:1-8 - Jesus wins; Jesus has already won; stay faithful to Jesus! This is the message of John’s sometimes confusing book of Revelation. It is full of encouragement and hope for disciples. Jesus, the Lamb, is on the throne. And he is preparing a future for us that includes heaven and so much more!

Acts 21:37–22:22 - Acts 21 finds Paul in Jerusalem, at the Temple, getting beaten for his faith in Jesus. In a wild turn of events, Paul had the opportunity to talk to those who wanted to kill him. What do you say to people who want you dead? Paul told his story—a story of his own self-righteous zeal, of Jesus meeting him in an unmistakable way, and of a kind believer who stood with him. What a great testimony!

Acts 13:16-44 -Paul and Barnabas made their way through the known world, telling everyone they met about Jesus and the Resurrection. In one synagogue, Paul told the Jews their history, but he told it differently than they’d heard it before. He showed how God had often given Israel a second chance. He went on to explain that Jesus was their second, and final, chance. Some of their listeners believed; others hated the message. Nobody likes being told they’re wrong.

Acts 3:1-21 - Now what? The story of Acts is what happens after the death and resurrection of Jesus. God takes ordinary people, fills them with His Spirit, and sends them out into the world. It's a crazy idea! Peter and John transform an everyday visit to the Temple into a medical miracle and preach a compelling message to boot. Hundreds of people come to trust Jesus. Just another day of walking in the Spirit.

John 20:24-29 - All through his ministry, Jesus took time to speak with individuals. Even after the resurrection, he never changed course. John records an interaction with Thomas that speaks to doubt and the struggle it is for each of us to believe.
