Father God,
Mary’s life was full of complications in the middle of being blessed. Father, many of these ladies live in difficult situations, and they need a God larger than their situations. Please let courage and obedience be poured into them from their understanding of the magnitude of God’s character. May they experience the faithfulness of your promises and feel you carrying them in their sufferings. May you provide for them in all that they need. (Excerpt from The Glory of The One & Only Son: Devotionals from Denver Seminary for the Advent Season; p. 12; Amy Carr)
The state of Israel has been a focal point of conflict for a millennium. It doesn’t look like the 21st Century will be any different. We’re reminded of the geographical, religious, and racial tensions between Jews, Arabs, Palestinians, and Christians on a daily basis. We ask for a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of many who are turning to the Scriptures for hope and comfort. We pray that Christian workers would boldly share the gospel to all who call Israel home.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
