Teach Us To Pray: WE CALL DOWN the courage, integrity, and servant heart of Jesus—to invade and redirect the lives of our leaders; we call down his graciousness and respect—to redefine and recalibrate our many political disagreements; we call down his divine intervention—in the selection of candidates in upcoming elections, in our choices of who should lead us into a time of national renewal.
Teach Us To Pray: WE CALL DOWN the victories of Jesus—to triumph over the hearts of terrorists, domestic or otherwise; we call down his protection and discipline for our police—to release in them a predisposition toward justice, compassion, courage, and self-control; we call down his kingdom transformation—to confront and cure every system of injustice, racial and otherwise, throughout our land.
Teach Us To Pray: WE CALL DOWN the compassionate deliverance of Jesus—to be poured out with great effect upon the poor, the disenfranchised, the hungry, the abandoned, the homeless, and the sinned-against. WE CALL DOWN the empathy of Jesus—to flood the hearts of protesters; we call down his reconciling blood—to dispel hatred and racism of every kind; we call down his truth—to overcome all deceptions and lies.
Teach Us To Pray: ULTIMATELY, WE CALL DOWN a fresh revelation of Jesus—that the spectacular greatness and glory, fullness and power, authority and sovereignty, lordship and love of the Lamb of God who reigns forever at the center of the Throne would saturate the whole Church and all peoples in all nations!
Pray for 3 of us ISI staff headed to a conference about living out a grace-filled, missional life as a single person. Pray for deep encouragement, and theologically rich truths that we can also use as we disciple the many students who are longing for a spouse. Singleness is on the rise globally and is one of the issues that the World Evangelical Alliance is paying more attention to, even commissioning a book. Pray that Believers can respond to this trend with His truth.
We are planning a special student led evening of praise and prayer on Wednesday Feb 25 in concert with the Collegiate Day of Prayer. Our venue is a large room in the student center which seats 288. Please pray that there will be a full house, including international students, all to the glory of God! There are plans for another similar event later in the spring semester too. May the Lord move in power resulting in many finding our Savior!
Please pray for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit aka Revival at the University of Delaware. To that end, we are planning a special evening of student led praise and prayer on February 25th in solidarity with the Collegiate Day of Prayer. Our venue seating 288 is in one of the student centers. Please pray for a full house that evening all to the Glory of God. I'm hoping that a number of international students will be there too.
Spirit, I thank you for Judy’s heart for her Mormon brother and family. We grieve with her at how they are rejecting you. Please open their eyes to your truth and that pursuing you is worth everything. Break down every stronghold and cast down all lies. Confound attacks of the enemy and spiritual forces of evil. We do not know how to pray. It is so difficult to overcome a lifetime of enmeshment in truths buried beneath falsehood. Yet you say nothing is impossible with you. I pray for Judy’s brother, and I pray for my former college roomate and friend *D.
