DAY 14 – February 23rd – Learn to Fight Well God’s Way
Scriptures: Isaiah 40:21-31; John 6:45
Miss Clara tells Elizabeth, “Just because you argue a lot, does not mean that you fight well.”
If you find yourself doing the same wearisome or worrisome thing over and over again without seeing any progress or resolve; then you are definitely not doing it well! It is past time for a prayer strategy over that issue or relationship. Pray and then write down 1–3 situations in your life that exhaust and exasperate you. Then write down and pray a Scripture over each of those areas. As we progress through our War Room strategy we continue to add prayers over each of these topics (Isa. 40:21-31).*
This is the fourteenth day of the prayer journey. How are you doing? Hopefully you have brought your Bible, journal and a teachable spirit to this time with the Lord. The Lenten season is a time of discipline , study of the Word of God and prayer. Spend more time in prayer. Ask God to reveal to you areas of your life that need His transformation.
Are you setting aside each day to pray, study the Word and to meditate on the Word ? Are you exercising your spiritual muscles by taking the time to do the exercises and to listen to God?
Pray:
• Pray for the church and you to become committed to following after the Lord.
• Pray for the persecuted church.
• Pray for the city of Flint for healing, justice , resources and water.
• Pray for women and children to be delivered from the evils of human trafficking.
• Pray for those who are unemployed.-Pray that God will meet the needs of those without work in a way that they can thank God for his provision; that they will soon find meaningful employment and glorify God for it.
