Day 20 – (1st of February)
Prayer for your 10+ men (Hebrews 10)
- Draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith
- Hold unswervingly to the hope professed in the gospels
- Consider how they may spur one another on towards love and good deeds
- Persevere so that they will receive what God has promised
Prayer for yourself:
When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. (Colossians 3:4)
Hebrews 10:35-39 needs to be emphasized as it is such an encouragement to me. We know Jesus is coming, but pray, declare out loud, and believe these verses for the man God is preparing for you, and bringing to you.
“Therefore do not cast away your confidence which has great reward. For you have need of endurance*, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:
‘For yet a little while, And HE who is coming will come and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.’”
I like The Message:
“It wont be long now, he’s on the way! He’ll show up most any minute!”
We all need endurance for this journey, and in the waiting. Pray for strength and endurance for the men and for yourself.
* Endurance - Greek hupomone, Strong's #5281: Constancy, perseverance, continuance, bearing up, steadfastness, holding out, patient endurance. The word combines hupo, "under," and mone, "to remain." It describes the capacity to continue to bear up under difficult circumstances, not with a passive complacency, but with a hopeful fortitude that actively resists weariness and defeat.
AMEN!
And some added enthusiasm for the rest of your week. Remember, you can do anything! and ALL things are possible with God. This young Jessica has been in my head for days, so here she is:
