Prayer Wednesday

But I have trusted in your steadfast love;
My heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
I will sing to the LORD
Because he has dealt bountifully with me.

One of my greatest aches in this pandemic is how our songs have been separated from each other and, I fear, even gone silent. We’re learning how to be the church studying and praying and giving when we can’t gather on Sunday morning; I pray we’re also learning how to sing even when there isn’t a band up front prompting our worship.

This day will you sing to the LORD in (y)our praying? Those of you who are blessed to be musical, sit down to the piano or pick up a guitar and raise your voice. Others will play music from Spotify and some will make a joyful noise. But sing. Don’t just listen to others sing. Bring it!

Singing seems to matter a great deal to our Father. I also believe it unlocks something in us and sets something right in the principalities and powers.

Praying and singing with you this day.

Andrew

Colossians 2:1-7-The way forward for the first Christians wasn't always easy. False teachers brought confusion and deception, prompting Paul to point believers back to the truth.

Colossians 1:24-29-Suffering is one of life's hardest realities. We might expect that following Jesus would mean less pain, but Jesus himself suffered and made it clear that his followers would too. The good news is that our suffering is never lost on God and is never in vain.
