Call to Prayer

"The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin a afresh each morning. I say to myself, "The Lord is my inheritance; therefore I will hope in Him." Lamentations 3: 22-24

We began our Prayer meeting with the whole congregation reading these lovely words of assurance from God's word. Yes, it was not a large group, but the Lord was there with us as He is with me at this very moment.

One Army. We see a God-raised and Spirit-filled Army for the 21st century - convinced of our calling, moving forward together. For the first part of our prayer meeting, we prayed for the deepening of our spiritual life. It is our prayer and desire that the spiritual disciplines of prayer, Bible reading, meditation, solitude and silence will become daily habits of Salvationists world wide. Holy living must take priority in ourselves and in the Army.

As it is Self Denial month, we focused our prayers on our partner - the India Western Territory.

We concluded the session with the prayer, "Revive Thy work O Lord."

Revive Thy work O Lord
While here to Thee we bow
Descend O gracious Lord Descend
O Come and bless us now

Revive Thy work O Lord
Thy mighty arm make bare
Speak with the voice that wakes the dead
And make Thy people hear

Revive Thy work O Lord
Create soul thirst for Thee
And hungering for the bread of life
Oh, may our spirits be

Revive Thy work O Lord
Exalt Thy precious Name
And by the Holy Ghost, Our Love
For Thee and thine inflame.

We say Amen to that beautiful prayer.
