As long as we think the next election might eliminate crime and establish justice or another scientific breakthrough might save the environment ... we are not likely to risk the arduous uncertainties of the life of faith. A person has to get fed up with the ways of the world before he, before she, acquires an appetite for the world of grace.” (Eugene Peterson) Psalm 120 “I call on the Lord in my distress,    and he answers me.2 Save me, Lord,    from lying lips    and from deceitful tongues. Psalm 134 Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord    who minister by night in the house of the Lord.2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary    and praise the Lord. 3 May the Lord bless you from Zion,    he who is the Maker of heaven and earth.” Travailing Prayer “The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.” (Romans 8:26–27) …but how?Prayer and FriendshipTestimonyWitnessing Circle 20 In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. 21 Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work. 2 Timothy 2:20
