DAY 19 OF HALF-MILLION MOBILIZATION
We are on day 19 of a 40 day prayer journey with Nazarenes from around USA/Canada. Join in by meditating on this verse and praying. Keep up with the daily devotions at the button below.
Romans 8:26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
Scripture Insights from Eddie Estep, District Superintendent, Kansas City.
Scripture Insights Paul is reminding us of the wonderful gift the Holy Spirit is to us. The Spirit stands by to provide the assistance we need. When we are weary and weak, the Spirit helps us. When we don’t know how or what to pray, the Spirit intercedes for us with sounds from deep in the heart that cannot be put into words. When we begin to veer off course, the Spirit intercedes to bring us into alignment with God’s will. The Holy Spirit’s power is available to us today— strengthening us, shaping us, directing us, and leading us into God’s good plan for our lives. What an advocate we have in the Holy Spirit! What a wonderful gift God has provided his people! What a wonderful privilege to live life in the Spirit!
Today’s Prayer Father, we are grateful for the gift of the Holy Spirit. As you pour out your Spirit upon us, may our ears be attuned to your voice, our hearts to your desires, and our lives to your will.
Praise God for the Baptized!

Missions Prayer Emphasis for May & June-Asia Pacific
Because we want to be people who pray relentlessly, we cover the earth with our prayers through the year. For May and June, we’re asking God to provide for, protect and direct the work of these missionaries and to pour out His Spirit of justice, grace and truth over these countries in the Asia Pacific region of the Church of the Nazarene.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3:20-21)
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Josh and the Stillmeadow Team
