It's a thrill to hear the prayers of God's people. Last night was no exception. Thank you, Lord, for burdening us with Your heart. Here are some notes--things that stood out, areas of agreement, themes, etc. Of course, this is only what I (Tracy) saw/heard, and if you would like to add, either comment here or send an e-mail.
Tracy read part of Psalm 51. As we become more and more aware of our sin Psalm 51 is such a comfort. vv 16-18. For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; You are not pleased with burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise. By Your favor do good to Zion; Build the walls of Jerusalem.
Jean read from Ps 27--One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD And to meditate in His temple.
Draw...more on drawing near to God. (Consistent theme for a few weeks.)
Wash us in Your word.
Because of sin, our hearts can become dull. Ransack our hearts--New level of cleansing. (A few audibly agreed and prayed on this notion of "ransacking our hearts".) Theme of our hearts, exposing what was in them was common theme.
Forgive us for going without Your manifest presence.
Empty us out. Let us have the mind of Christ. (Phil 2:2-11 read)
"As long as it is called 'Today' ".
Help us to love one another, get outside ourselves, look beyond physical situation.
Tongue: much on tongue. Spirit, convict us on the use of our tongue. Is 6:6-7. James 3:9-12, Out of the same mouth come both blessing and cursing, and this should not be.
Deeper conviction of sin by Holy Spirit. A conviction that leads to godly sorrow and brings forth fruit.
FRUIT....LOVE. (Again theme of love). Love our neighbor, family, church. Love should be as Christ's love.
Compassion. You desire compassion not sacrifice.
Help us to be one body, not disjointed parts.
Help us (God's people) to recognize the seriousness of the day.
"Day of Your visitation".
Give us the mind of Christ for election.
Give us a greater revelation of Your holiness. Give your people a greater fear of You.
Mind of Christ, again.
Connie read Jude 1:17-25. I could include it all, but it is long. Coincidentally, I have also been in Jude 1:20-21, in last couple of days. But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
Feel free, anyone, to add your observation(s)!
