Some of God's servants are willing people who, like the great queen Esther, understand that they have been placed in a special position for such a time as this. Others, like Jonah, can be resistant to God's claim on their life and be unwilling to listen to His voice, heed His commands, and share the good news of the gospel of grace. How grateful we should be, when God often uses the circumstances of life to cause us to fulfil His plans and purposes in our lives. How foolish we are when we kick against His will and become reluctant to do God's work. How careful we should be that our reluctance to carry out God's purpose for our lives, does not result in a missed opportunity - and a loss of blessing. May we have ears that are open to His call and a heart that is ready to carry out His plans and purposes in our lives... who knows what opportunities God has for each of us... if we are willing to faithfully obey the guiding hand of the Holy Spirit, in our daily lives. Now the LORD provided a huge fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, what an example Jonah is to all of us. Thank You that even when we are faithless, You remain faithful. But we pray that we would be ready and willing to hear and obey Your call in our lives, no matter how difficult or unusual it may be. Use us, we pray, to share the good news of salvation so that many who are dead in their sins may come to know Christ as Savior and Lord - to Your greater praise and glory. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN. |
Prayer
We are a growing group of people praying daily for and with others. We were led to start an online ministry to deliver what is needed more now than ever, a place where you can go to easily to submit a prayer request or requests involving others to pray for your needs. The Power of Prayer. Matthew 18:20- For where two or more come together in my name, there I am among them. You are never alone in prayer. The Power Of Numbers Praying.
We ask you to pray for this ministry, for its success in helping others in need of prayer. Archives
