Day 7 – The Challenge Before Us

As we end this week of preparation, we hope you have benefited from the daily devotionals. It is our prayer that you share our desire for national healing, revival in the church and salvation for the lost in our community.

Tomorrow starts our 40 day event of focused prayer. We anticipate struggles with maintaining this schedule. It is easy to be excited and motivated during the planning and early days but our schedules are full. Work, family and even church commitments can drain our energy and distract us from obedient service to God.

For many of you, today, Easter Sunday, will be filled with activities celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Let the gospel truth of His redemptive work motivate and strengthen you. As part of your worship today, meditate on the things God has shown you this week. Be encouraged with the knowledge that you have a High Priest who can sympathize with our weakness and in all points has faced the temptations, which beset us.

“Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16)
