Ernie's Lenten Prayer Requests
We got a late start on Lent since we were in
India, but Sandhya and both fasting (as we started doing during our time at
what's now Kingsway Community
Church).
On the plane flight back, I
felt that God wanted us to use Lent ask for specific blessings from Him, along
the lines of the sevenfold spirit of God. In particular, to seek God for
positive attributes we want to replace negative aspects of our lives. To that
end, here [Read More] are the seven things I believe God wants to work in me
this Lent.
1.
PeaceTherefore being justified by
faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus
Christ:
KJV Romans
5:12.
CourageLet us not abate our
courage in doing what is right; for in due time we shall reap a reward, if we do
not faint. WEY
Galatians 6:9
3.
HeartAnd I will give them one
heart and one way, so that they may go on in the worship of me for ever, for
their good and the good of their children after
them:
BBE Jeremiah 32:39
4.
Surrenderand no longer lend your
faculties as unrighteous weapons for Sin to use. On the contrary surrender your
very selves to God as living men who have risen from the dead, and surrender
your several faculties to God, to be used as weapons to maintain the
right.
WEY Romans 6:13
5.
HealthFor I will restore health
unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they
called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh
after. KJV
Jeremiah 30:17
6.
KindnessWhatever be the gifts
which each has received, you must use them for one another's benefit, as good
stewards of God's many-sided kindness.
WEY 1 Peter 4:10
7.
PurificationNow that, through
your obedience to the truth, you have purified your souls for cherishing sincere
brotherly love, you must love another heartily and
fervently. WEY
1 Peter 1:22
