Praying for us

If the LORD wills it (and it seems like He does since I wasn't hurt by the 18-wheeler that rear-ended me yesterday - thank you LORD) we begin departing Searcy at 2:00 today. That's when Eric, Adam and Meghan leave the FBC parking lot (that's First Baptist not Fellowship Bible this time - both are participating in this trip). What better time to start praying for us if you haven't already.

Pray that we would put away all malice, deceipt, hypocrisy, envy and slander. Pray that like newborn infants, we would long for pure spiritual milk and that drinking deeply of it we would grow into our salvation. Pray that we would represent Christ well and share Him faithfully and that many would taste and see that the LORD is good! Pray that those we are going to would come to Christ, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious. That we ourselves will be built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For it stands in Scripture: "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame." Pray that those who are rejecting Him will fall before Him, that those who today do not believe, in the next two weeks will believe. Pray that Christ will be their cornerstone, not their stumbling block. Pray that they not be destined to continue in disobedience. Pray that GOD will raise up among them a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession. And that we would proclaim the excellencies of him who called us out of darkness into his marvelous light.
Pray that these to whom we are being sent, who presently are not a people, will soon be God's people; that those who have not tasted mercy, WILL NOW RECEIVE MERCY.

In HIM,
Eric
