Refreshing. Upcoming 40 days

As some know, we have been attending Fort Mill Church of God and we LOVE it. This Sunday we start a membership class and I couldn't be more excited. I feel so at home here. Last Sunday our Pastor talked about the 40 days of fasting and prayer. This will begin late January and continue for 40 days. I am excited to see what will happen when His people humble themselves and pray and seek his face.

"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

-2 Chronicles 7:14-

 

 

With this being said, our land needs healing. My vow for the next 40 days is to pray for just that. It overwhelms me to think my children will have to live in this world. {{it's a scary thought}}

 

HOW WILL PEOPLE HEAR IF WE DON'T TELL THEM? It's sad to think there are people in this country who have NEVER heard the salvation story. {{I was fortunate enough to grow up in a family where Christian values were exhibited. At the time, I just wanted to stay at home and didn't understand the importance of Church. Now I'm a mother, I do!}} 

 

 

My challenge to you is to do this 40 days of prayer (and fasting, if you desire) with me. Please comment if you want to join in! It's always nice to know you have a support group!

 

 

Open the blind eyes
Unlock the deaf ears
Come to your people
As we draw near
Hear us from heaven
Touch our generation
We are your people
Crying out in desperation
