Let’s continue to pray for Gaza. There is so much that we don’t have words for but let’s keep holding them in our prayers and look for wisdom and what we can do with Gods help.
A few weeks into our new year, let’s keep looking at what God is seeing us and our community at moortown doing and pray for all those who lead us.
I share a prayer from the Lectio app from 24/7 prayer https://www.24-7prayer. com/ who have had a series on ‘rewilding’ this week.
God of the wild, in this new season I invite You to shape my soul with Your words and inspire my life through Your works. Show me where I’m clinging to comfort and lead me into greater wonder today.
I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken.
Psalm 62:1-2 (NLT)
