"O LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, today let it be known that You are God in Israel and that I am Your servant and I have done all these things at Your word. Answer me, O LORD, answer me, that this people may know that You, O LORD, are God, and that You have turned their heart back again."

1 Kings 18:36-37

I am currently studying the life of Elijah and this prayer he offered on Mount Carmel before summoning God's holy fire is one of the most powerful examples of prayer I have heard. Simple and direct, offering God glory, declaring his allegiance with him, and asking for the turning of his people's hearts.

praise the Lord for how Matt came back into the fold. God is good to us.

It's been a hot minute but I wanted to thank those who prayed for my friend Matt. God has moved powerfully in this last month. He has found a new job (a dream job really) and Matt said that he had never felt such a physical and spiritual outpour of love and support before. He returned to the fold after sharing and shedding his grievances and was humbled by the presence of God in those around him.

Thank you all for your prayers and PRAISE be to God, for He is good and faithful above all else.

"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith,
Where there is despair, hope,
Where there is darkness, light,
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console,
not so much to be understood as to understand,
not so much to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
it is in dying that we awake to eternal life."
-Francis of Assisi

Thank you for your prayers. She is out of immediate danger and is on bed rest at home now. They still don't know what caused the dip in platelets so we anticipate a bunch more tests.
