For such a time as this!
Prayer Focus week 38 (Sunday-Shabbat)
This is the week of Purim. It commemorates God’s miracle of changing history thru the actions of one person and her confidant (Uncle/cousin Mordechai). Queen Esther stood up for what was right. How did she stand against peer pressure? She followed the wisdom and counsel of someone older and wiser than she. “For such a time as this” she was placed into the position of being Queen. For such a time as this, what position did God put you in??(I encourage you to follow the advise of the poster on the left. Believe God and follow Him – not what the world would tell us we can or cannot do! Don’t listen to that negative committee. You are special and have been designed for a special assignment. Remember, He created you and me for such a time as this!!)
Verse to memorize: Meditate on these verses:
o Hear, O Israel, the LORDOur God, the LORDis One.
o And you shall love the LORDyour God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. (Deut 6:4-5, ESV)
Prayer:we blessed to be allowed to intercede for the needs. Some answers come within a few days, others may take weeks or months. Regardless of what we see with our natural eyes, HE is working. We need to continue to be faithful inintercession!
“Awesome and amazing God. How we love YOU! We never cease to be amazed at how You choose to involve us in Your plans – just like You did with Queen Esther: help us to change our world. Help us to turn away from the negative thoughts that so easily flood our minds and to focus on You. Protect our soldiers. Keep them safe and away from the harm that so easily besets them. Give them Your peace – and bring Natan and the other soldiers home spiritually, mentally, physically, and emotionally whole and stronger than when they left. Give PM Netanyahu Your wisdom and favor. Heal the sick bodies. Heal the hurting families. Lord, we thank You that You say whatsoever we ask in Your Name, You will do it. We ask all these things and that You enable each intercessor to be out of debt by the end of 2012. Holy, Precious Father, we ask these things in Your Name..”
