Insulation

As we prayed yesterday, as a congregation during the morning service, the term "insulation" was brought to our attention. For whatever reason, it truly stood out.

Life happens to all of us. It rains on the just and the unjust. We all expect trials and tribulations, but as a pastor-friend of mine shared on social media the other day, things just seem to be especially difficult and challenging.

We trust in God to provide and move on our behalf when the enemy comes against us. Yet in moments of intense pressure and increased attack, we truly need a miracle.

We need God's protection. We need His strength. We need His comfort.

We need a reprieve. Insulation. Distance from the war.

It's hard to find, because life continues.
It's hard to keep perspective because the demands and decisions that require us to engage and remain involved. Yet in our spirit, there is no other option except to call down Heaven, to stand in the gap on our behalf, in order that we may continue to stand firm in our faith, for the glory of God and the witness of Christ.

In that spirit, would you join me, in standing in the gap this #seniorPastorMonday? Pray for pastors facing increased stress and challenge, as my friend and his family are encountering on a personal level. May they be encouraged by the hand of God, as He brings comfort and a level of insulation from the battles of life. Pray for renewing of the mind and a strengthening of their spirit; may there be a revival in their resolve to face and overcome the struggles of life.

May God work the miraculous
For those doing the work of the Lord.
Strength for today.
Hope for tomorrow.
Encouragement for others.
To testify to the goodness and greatness of God.
For the cause of Jesus Christ.
