August 11, 2012 - Awake & Aware

Prayer focus for August 11-17, 2012

God wake up your people in Waterford!  Let us be aware of what is going on around us spiritually.  Let's not think that life goes on "as usual."  Let us expect You to show Yourself strong all around us.  You already are here, all around us.  Open our eyes that we may see You and all that You are doing in our midst!  Let us acknowledge You and consult with You in all our ways.  In every path, every direction of our lives.

Jesus said to let the children come to Him for of such are the kingdom of heaven.  The kingdom of heaven is made up of those who with childlike-simple, trusting-faith, seek Him out and come to Him.  Be aware of those around you who are seeking Him out, maybe without even knowing it, but are looking for life and truth.  Stay alert and aware when going about your daily activities.  Walk in the light and be the light yourself.  The move of God is not always in the noisy, hyped-up activities, but often in the quiet, simple places.

I pray for the entire family of God, throughout Waterford and beyond, that they are awake and aware of all God is doing and saying.  Aware of how He wants to demonstrate His love and goodness to all people.  And that they are the salt and light He has enabled us to be!
