"Prayer is the forerunner of mercy.
Turn to sacred history, and you will find that scarcely ever did a great mercy come to this world unheralded by supplication. You have found this true in your own personal experience. God has given you many an unsolicited favour, but still great prayer has always been the prelude of great mercy with you…
"Prayer is always the preface to blessing. It goes before the blessing as the blessing's shadow. Prayer is thus connected with the blessing to show us the value of it. If we had the blessings without asking for them, we should think them common things; but prayer makes our mercies more precious than diamonds." ~ Spurgeon

Racism in any form is wrong and should never have a place in our society.
Racial hatred, while not new, must be courageously and prayerfully rooted out and confronted.

In the coming days, please join us in praying and reaffirming that we unequivocally reject racism, discrimination, hatred, and violence. There is no place for these elements in the world in which we want to live, and together we will continue to point the world to the one, true, living hope only found in Jesus.

Our prayer is that we would continue to be image bearers of the Gospel and reflect the light of Jesus to our hurting world.
That we would be instruments of peace.
And where there is hatred we would sow love.

Whatever you do for Christ throw your whole soul into it.
Do not give Christ a little slurred labour, done as a matter of course now and then; but when you do serve him, do it with heart, and soul, and strength.
But where is the might of a Christian? It is not in himself, for he is perfect weakness.
His might lieth in the Lord of Hosts.
Then let us seek his help; let us proceed with prayer and faith, and when we have done what our "hand findeth to do," let us wait upon the Lord for his blessing. What we do thus will be well done, and will not fail in its effect.

Beloved, whenever you are doubtful as to your course, submit your judgment absolutely to the Spirit of God, and ask Him to shut against you every door but the right one.

Say, “Blessed Spirit, I cast on Thee the entire responsibility of closing against my steps any and every course which is not of God. Let me hear Thy voice behind me whenever I turn to the right hand or the left.”
In the meanwhile, continue along the path which you have been already treading.
Abide in the calling in which you are called, unless you are clearly told to do something else. The Spirit of Jesus waits to be to you, O pilgrim, what He was to Paul. Only be careful to obey His least prohibition; and where, after believing prayer, there are no apparent hindrances, go forward with enlarged heart. Do not be surprised if the answer comes in closed doors. But when doors are shut right and left, an open road is sure to lead to Troas. There Luke awaits, and visions will point the way, where vast opportunities stand open, and faithful friends are waiting”. ~Meyer

Pray with us to be fully submitted to the way he would have us go at every turn along the road in front of us.
