As soon as I heard these words I sat down and wept and mourned for days, and I continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven. And I said, "O LORD God of heaven, the great and awesome God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer of your servant that I now pray before you day and night. . . Nehemiah 1:4-6
Malawi is on my heart as I've been receiving e-mails from students, asking me to please pray that God would give them peace during these fearful times. For more information about the violent rioting currently happening, read here.
I would ask you to join in prayer with me, pleading God's mercy upon Malawi, that God would bring peace to this country and that He would turn the evil things that have been happening there for His good. . . He Who has most definitely done it in the past is able!! May all find all their peace in the only place in which true peace is found -- in our precious Jesus. . . for he himself is our peace.
O Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants who delight to fear your name, and give success to your servant today, and grant him mercy. . . (v.11)
