In Psalm 65, King David proclaimed: “You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds, O God our Savior. You are the hope of everyone on earth, even those who sail on distant seas.” No matter where we go in Africa, Asia, or the Middle East – and even nations in Europe where countless women from “the window” now reside – we have been reminded that God truly is the hope of everyone on earth! Those who know Him, love Him, and serve Him are full of hope despite the perilous places and times in which they live, and they are constantly witnessing awesome answers to their prayers!
And the same can be true for YOU! When your hope is fully anchored in the Lord, He is faithful to answer your prayers. The way He answers is usually unexpected (according to our limited understanding!) but He is faithful and true to respond – always. We are exceedingly grateful for your prayer support, and hope this mid-month prayer guide is a practical tool to help you cover every aspect of our ministry in prayer. In addition, praying the Word of God adds power to your prayers and brings joy to God when He hears His own Word spoken out loud by you!
May Jesus Christ be your daily hope, and may you experience answered prayer and His awesome deeds in your life like never before.
Yours because I’m His,
Kim
