(Sundaycast) God’s Abounding Grace Answers Our Prayers (Psalm 116:1; Matthew 18:26 27)

Are you waiting for God to answer your prayers calling on Him day and night? Today’s prayers are prayed with the anguish that comes when we realize how deeply we know that only God can rescue us from the desperate problems we are facing. It is this powerlessness in our praying that leads us to “hammer on heaven’s door” as the saying goes. As friends from Africa shared with me once, they practice the P.U.S.H. prayers which is, “pray until something happens.” The story that Sonja shares today from Leipzig which we visited on Friday reflects this kind of desperate praying that led to the end of the East Germany and the Berlin Wall. You may find the story presented by German media interesting.

It’s the “Daily Texts.” Their Monday prayers began with reading the verses you are using to lead your feet into the path of peace every day. May our Lord continue to encourage you in your prayers using the “Daily Texts.”
