Sacramental Living

A few folks take a second hour.

Hour 20 … a young lady who is passionate about social justice enters feeling restless. She is listening for whatever God is saying.

Hours 22-23 … A husband and wife each take an hour back to back. They have journeyed with this faith community through some rough times. I’m frankly in awe of how their faith has survived and even grown over the years. They want to see newness, relevance, and the impossible happen. Lord, inspire in them your vision and give them the strength to perservere.

Hour 24 … The prayer attendent for the last portion now finishes in prayer. He’s tired, sleepy. He walks around the room sitting in various chairs, remembering where certain persons generally sit during worship. He prays for them by name.

We have spent 24 hours at the feet of Jesus. We have poured our hearts out. We have meditated. We have requested and even begged. We have been quiet and listened.

We are ready, God. We are available. Act through us for the glory of your nature and character. AMEN.

SO TELL ME SOMETHING:
Are you living a life of prayer?
