Prayer for January 27

 

"Lord, please help us to understand the depth of the horrors that our new friends in Poland have endured in their lives. Open our eyes to see something of what they have seen and experienced. Open our ears to hear something of what they have heard and shared with us. Most of all open our hearts to feel something of what they have felt. By the miracle of your grace help us understand the ways of your redemptive love, and guide us to be agents of that love. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

God, Our Father,
 
Thank you for the joyful message of your love that EST has shared with students, faculty, staff, and those throughout Poland, the United States and the world. We pray with glad hearts that you will continue to bless the seminary and its work through the Festival of Protestant Culture, the University of the Third Age and the ongoing relationships that the seminary nurtures with all people including us.  May each day bring moments of joy to your servants at EST.
 
 

“In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with Joy.”
         Phillipians 1:4

January Prayer

Omniscient God,

As this new year dawns, bring hope into the hearts and lives of those who serve you at EST and in Lodz, and those who support them.  We know that your will is being done in Poland, and we pray that your eternal hope of all things good to come will be the light that shines in the darkness of winter.




"Hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us."
                            Romans 5:5
