praying for Congo. - Blessings and Raindrops

From what we have been told, there is a big meeting taking place today in Kinshasa. I, along with hundreds of others, have been praying fervently since we heard this news on Friday. There is no way to know what will come of this meeting but we are praying boldly for the outcome to bring families and children a step closer toward joyous homecomings.

As I sat quietly before the Lord this morning, asking once again for a miracle, I was led to my prayer journal. These verses. Reminders of His goodness, His faithfulness, His Truth even in this unrelenting storm.

He is near.
He is still on the throne.
I will wait in expectant hope for the miracle on the horizon.

Lamentations 3: 23-24

Great is his faithfulness, his mercies begin afresh each day.

I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance, therefore, I will hope in Him!

1 Peter 5:7 AMP

…casting the whole of your care (all of your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all) on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.

Ephesians 3:20 AMP

Now to him, who by the power that is at work within us, is able to (carry out His purpose and) do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes or dreams].

Isaiah 30:18 AMP

And therefore the Lord (earnestly) waits [expecting, looking and longing] to be gracious to you; and therefore He lifts Himself up, that He may have mercy on you and show loving-kindness to you. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are all those who (earnestly) wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him (for His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy, and His matchless companionship)!

Psalm 130:5

I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope.

Revelation 3:8

I see what you’ve done. Now see what I’ve done. I’ve opened a door before you that no one can slam shut. You don’t have much strength, I know that; you used what you had to keep my word. You didn’t deny me when times were rough.

2 Chronicles 14:11

Then Asa called to the Lord his God and said, “Lord, there is no one like you to help the powerless against the mighty. Help us, Lord our God, for we rely on you, and in your name we have come agains this vast army. Lord, you are our God; do not let mere mortals prevail against you.”

Hebrews 11:1

What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen.

It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see.

Beth Moore, Believing God

“Our toughest battles will invariably concern matters of faith — times when we’re tempted to think God’s word and His ways won’t work for us, that HE has abandoned us, let us down, or failed to come through for us.”

Psalm 77:14

You are the God of miracles and wonders!

You demonstrate your awesome power among the nations.

Will you join me today in praying these words of truth over the vulnerable and orphaned children in Congo? Praying for God’s arms to cover these precious ones in mercy and love. Praying for families waiting and aching to bring their beloved ones home. Praying for a mighty movement that will bring goodness and shine God’s glory.
