Prayers of Hope

Over the past couple of weeks, a few verses from Romans have crossed my path. Not once, not twice, but three times. The prevalence made me take notice and I now realize that these verses are prayers for this team. Would you pray alongside us?

Father God, Precious Jesus, Holy Spirit - Thank you for you Word. It is divinely written and is still a teacher to us as we prepare for Your next mission. For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. God, would You help us to persevere as we press on towards this mission? Would You remind us every day that You are in control of every detail? Finances, Medicine, Travel, Health & Safety, Spiritual Growth, and most of all Service in Your Name for our Zulu Friends. All of it, Lord, You will help us strive toward the goal. You are our encouragement. May our hearts leap with joy because Your Word is true and faithful and it gives us great hope.
Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus, so that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 15:4-6) Yes God, we pray that You weave our team together - using each one of our gifts at the right time. Lord help us to be a flexible and strong tapestry that has one clear picture that proudly and boldly displays the Glory of Your Name. Amen
