Join Us In Prayer
June 2022
The Lord replied, “Look around at the nations; look and be amazed!
For I am doing something in your own day,
something you wouldn’t believe even if someone told you about it…”
Habakkuk 1:5
Habakkuk knew exactly what it was like to experience the misery of violence. With all that’s taken place in the last month alone, we could easily read his cry to God in Habakkuk 1 and feel just as he did. Violence, murder, and evil seem to have taken over our world, all potentially making us feel like our dear Good, Great, and Chief Shepherd has forgotten us, closed his ears to our cry, and abandoned His flock.
BUT… HE HAS NOT!
Please join me in believing what our Father told Habakkuk, “…I am doing something in your own day, something you wouldn’t believe even if I told you about it…
What Happened in May
“This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled.
If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.”
Habakkuk 2:3

Join Us In Prayer
This prayer was sung by the prophet Habakkuk: I have heard all about you, Lord. I am filled with awe by your amazing works. In this time of our deep need, help us again as you did in years gone by. And in your anger, remember your mercy.
