Today’s Verse:
"Even to your old age and gray hairs. I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you. " – Isaiah 46:4

Prayer for Today :

Heavenly Father,

You promised that You will never leave us or forsake us, it is of course easy for us to trust You with our future! Although we may not see any worthiness in the time yet to come, we may even be experiencing stark, naked, cruel, brutal or catastrophic situations, worsen, we may continuously find numbness in our hearts, mind and souls. Then what can we do Father? Can we expect You to come to us and show Your mercy?!

Father, there's a faithful servant of Yours, named Pete Greig. He is one of the founding champions of the 24-7 Prayer movement, and the Director of Prayer for Holy Trinity, Brompton in London, and a facilitator for the Campus America initiative. His 24-7 Prayer movement of prayer started in 1999. He shared in His book "God on mute", about the incident of his wife Samie s fight for her life after being diagnosed of a debilitating brain tumor. He also shared his views on asking some timeless TRUE questions on suffering and how he approached to pray through this time of suffering while You, God, remained on mute.

Father, we could never ever imagine how Greig went through this time of suffering while being faithful to You as well, in organising this 24x7 prayer movement. We only know that You uses people as Your messengers of mercy. "Tough times never last, but tough people do!" We are sure we could use some words of encouragement in times of trouble.

Father, knowing that You have our best interest at heart, help us to stop and relax in You.

In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
