Relentless prayer is a relentless pursuit in seeing God’s will done on earth.
” ‘The power in prayer is found in God’s Word, not our voice; it’s God’s voice not our words’ (VanderWeerd, A., Mountaintop Mornings, 2018).
God is so amazing in how He meets everyone right where they are in their walk with Him – every spiritual age. He is the perfect teacher who does not forget what it is like for a person who is learning how to pray or the different struggles of the seasoned prayer warrior. The beauty of God’s word is it is stronger than the heavens and the earth, which will pass away – Luke 16:17. God’s word is eternal. Jesus is the Beginning and the End, literally. He is wisdom incarnate, perfectly meeting every individual need with His word.” – excerpt taken from Revival of the Hearts, by Alysa VanderWeerd.

PRAYER
Abba! Thank You for Jesus Christ and His saving power. You have equipped us with Him and the Holy Spirit for all that You have called us to and we praise You for that. You have given us everything we need in Yourself, the Trinity – Psalm 23:1. Today, we ask that Your power save lives from being robbed by the enemy. You see the destruction of sin in the world, the want for power and control over others; You see those who are vulnerable, due to illness. You see how illness robs people of living the life they desire, and in that we ask Lord for You to protect their mind and heart; as they accept their current situation and see Your presence in it. We also ask for Your protection over the vulnerable, who long for healing. Praying they are not preyed upon by those who want to take advantage; and we pray for healing for each of them, asking ultimately for Your will to be done. We ask for Your mercy and blessing for all of these, and for Your face to smile upon them with favor – Psalm 67:1; may Jesus be known throughout the nations and Your salvation to be experienced by people everywhere – Psalm 67:2. “You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds, O God, our savior. You are the hope of everyone on earth, even those who sail on distant seas” – Psalm 65:5 NLT. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
