We had a good group out to prayer meeting last night. We sang with recorder accompaniment as the twenty of us crammed into a ten foot by ten foot kitchen. After the singing came the challenge from the Word. This week brought by pastor Samuel. He challenged us from Proverbs 6.6-11 which has the classic text Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. It was a great lesson on how we need to properly use our time.
During prayer time our first round was to pray for a request of the person to our right. To my right was one of our teen girls. As I turned to her her simple request was given with wide-eyes, “Pastor, pray that my mother will let me eat at home.” She then bowed her head.
ZING! It was as if an arrow had shot through my heart. Here was one of our kids, a fifteen year old, who hadn’t eaten in a couple of days. Why? Because her mom had insisted, “NO WORK NO EAT!”
Pray as we help.
come onto me all ye who labour and are haevy laden and will give u rest, these are the words from our Lord Jesus Christ because u are doing HIS WILL, HE WILL CARE FOR YOU. SHALOM
