Hard Work
1Thes 5:16-19 (NAS)
16 Rejoice always; 17 pray without ceasing; 18 in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 19 Do not quench the Spirit
Praying without ceasing may be the hardest thing I have ever tried to do. Heck, I've only been doing this prayer blog for a little over a week and it's getting harder and harder.
I think v. 19 is the key to v. 17. I know I can't pray without ceasing, but I also know the Holy Spirit can.
As we pray today, particularly for GodBlogCon and all the myriad details that accompany such an undertaking, let's try not to get in the way of the Holy Spirit. Let's try to make our prayers His prayers.
Hopefully there will be specifics about GodBlogCon to offer up in intercession soon, but until that time, pray for its success, pray for its leadership, and pray for God's will.
