The call to pray

There are several verses from the Bible that have been of significance for us over the past few years, and I wanted simply to remind ourselves what they are as we commit to this period of prayer together.

Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.
Mal.3:10

Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the LORD, until he comes and showers righteousness on you.
Hos.10:12

He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Mic.6:8

Jesus gave them this answer: "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.
John 5:19

Over the coming weeks, I believe that God will speak to us as we seek him. The challenge is to follow, to do the simple things he asks us to do.

As we pray, let's ask God what he is doing in our communities and how we can be a part of his work. Let's continue to walk in his ways amongst our friends and neighbours, living out a life lived for God and with God. Let's continue to seek him, not just for a few weeks but until he comes.
