JULY 2020 MBUMC FOCUS PRAYER
You are invited to join the Prayer Ministry team in praying this month’s focus prayer.
“The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you Peace. (Numbers 6:24-26 NKJV)
O Lord, our God, you are our shelter and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So we will not be afraid, even if the earth is shaken and mountains fall into the ocean depths; even if the seas roar and rage, and the hills are shaken by the violence.
There is a river that brings joy to the city of God, to the sacred house of the Most High. God is in that city, and it will never be destroyed; at early dawn he will come to its aid. Nations are terrified, kingdoms are shaken; God thunders, and the earth dissolves. The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Psalm 46:1-7 GNT)
May God pour His grace and blessings into us and turn His face to shine His light on us. So all those on earth will learn to follow Your way and see Your saving power come to redeem all nations. May all people live to praise You, Our True God; may all come to praise You. May all nations celebrate together, singing joy-filled songs of praise to You because You judge the people fairly and give guidance to all the nations of the earth. (Psalm 67:1-4 Voice)
O Lord, you speak through Isaiah saying, “Listen closely, you who are Mine; lend an ear, My nation; for My instruction will go straight out into all the world and My justice will illuminate all people wherever they are. My justice is coming closer. My rescue is on the way. My strong arm will extend justice to the nations. Distant shores are looking to Me with hope that I will accomplish it.
“Listen to Me, you who already live out what is true and right, who treasure My instruction within your hearts: Don’t be afraid of people’s scorn. Don’t let their dismissive criticism, bitter anger, or hatred get you down. For they’ll come to nothing; they’ll be eaten up as a moth eats a shirt; they’ll be consumed as a worm feeds on wool. But My justice will endure. I will extend My saving action to every generation. (Isaiah 51:4-5, 7-8 Voice). May it be so, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
“Lead me, Lord, lead me in thy righteousness; make thy way plain before my face. For it is thou, Lord, thou Lord only that makes me to dwell in safety. (H473 / Psalms 5:8, 4:8)
