“Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.” (Isaiah 59:1)
All of us have times when things are ‘beyond our reach’, when we just can’t see any way to change the situation, no matter what we or anyone else might do. But that’s when we need to remember that God has very long arms. There is nothing, no situation, no person, no resources, no solution, beyond his reach and his ability to change things. But he often has to let us come to the end of ourselves and our own resources to help us see that, and then, as we do, it releases his hand to act on our behalf.
So today, where do you need to say, “I can’t fix this”?
Where do you need to cry out to God?
ME – Are there people close to you who have seemed beyond God’s reach? Pray for breakthrough in salvation amongst your family and friends.
US – Pray for the children and youth in our church. Pray that they each come to a full revelation of God’s love for them and make commitments to follow him.
OTHERS – Pray for the places you go and the people you see most. Pray for the schools, workplaces or neighbourhoods you connect with.
Don’t forget the daily prayer gatherings:
