2 Thessalonians 3:1 - "Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored, as happened among you."
Long ago, St. Paul, asked others to pray for him and his partners in spreading the Word of God. Today, I have a similar prayer request. Would you all please pray for a young lady at our church whose name is Sydney Estill?
Sydney will be leaving to volunteer abroad on May 14th. She is going to India to teach English in the slums, Morocco to work in an orphanage, and Zimbabwe to work on a wildlife nature preserve. She will be back on July 29. God will protect her and use her to His glory. Would you please add her to your prayer list and join me in praying for her daily? You can read about her adventures on her blog: www.residentoftheroad.com as she goes out to do various service projects so she can meet the needs of people and also offer the good news of Jesus Christ.
Here's a prayer you could pray to God for Sydney, or, of course, you could lift up other prayers from your heart.
Dear Heavenly Father,
So that the good news of your Son may spread to others, watch over, surround, protect, empower, and loosen the tongues of Sydney and the teams she'll be serving with. Help them all to know your presence in their unique ways of serving the people who permanently live in those communities over the next two and a half months so that those people are changed forever with the good news of the person and saving work of Jesus Christ. I ask this in Jesus's name, Amen.
Thank you for praying for my dear friend!
How can I pray for you today? Please reply.
Praise God!
Pastor Chris
