This morning I would like to implore you to join me in prayer for our
men. It remains very disturbing to me all that we see happening in Ferguson
Missouri as a result of the shooting death of 18 year old unharmed Michael
Brown. I can imagine how many mothers of young men are presently living in fear
and uneasiness as they worry about their safety every day that they leave home
until they return home.
The truth is we cannot watch them every step of the way. We see them as
precious and unique, but not everyone will have that same opinion and have that
love and compassion towards them. We can teach them what is righteous, and
lovely and pure, but they will eventually make their own decisions with or
without your advice. We may try but cannot determine the friends they chose or
the places they go especially when they are grown.
Having said all this let me remind us that things are not hopeless and we
still have a weapon that we can use that is very effective and this is the
weapon of prayer.
This morning I call on you all to pray for our sons, grandsons, nephews,
uncles, brothers, significant others and for our husbands. Let us pray for
their protection and wellbeing. Let us pray that they will walk upright and
will conduct themselves in a manner that is pleasing to God. Let us pray that
they will not depart from the biblical teachings they received. Let us pray
that others will see them as not “just another black person, or Hispanic or
white person, but as a person that was created in the image of God and is
special and full of worth. Let us pray
that no harm will come near them and thank God for His angels who are
constantly watching over them just in case they stump their toe against any
stone that may be in their way.
Please continue to pray for our various cities in our 100 cities in 100 days marathon. Today we pray for Tokyo,
Japan and tomorrow we pray for Sydney, Australia. Please check out www.mpush.org to see the calendar
In His service,
Vilma
