Wednesday Prayer

In Chapter 8 of Luke’s gospel, we read the accounts of Jesus: silencing a storm for His frightened disciples, driving out a legion of demons from a hopeless gentile, healing a hopeful woman, and restoring a daughter to life for the joy of her parents. He authenticates His claim as Lord of all creation, demonstrating His absolute power over the natural and supernatural realms. Jesus commands, “Peace, be still, come out, arise,” and all obey His authority.
In Matthew 7, Jesus instructs his followers, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.”(NKJV) Jesus tells us to ask; He, the Lord of all creation, is able to deliver. When we struggle to pray as we ought, He helps us “...in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”(Romans 8:26, NKJV) Jesus even understands our struggles. Hebrews 4:15-16 “For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”(NKJV)
The needs around us and within us are insurmountable and innumerable. The times grow more perilous. The enemy is not idle, the battle is hot, the storms are raging, and the casualties mounting. What shall we do? “I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From where shall my help come? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.”(Psalm 121:1-2, NASB95) Brothers and sisters, this coming Wednesday night, let us come together and look to the Lord of all creation to find grace to help in this time of need!
