Message:
Today we’re sharing stories of God at work through the global Church. The world is filled with marvelous testimonies of faith and hope that shine brightly even in the darkest of times. One powerful reminder comes from Psalm 9:1, which says, “I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done.” This verse encourages us to acknowledge and celebrate the remarkable ways God moves in our lives and communities. Each story shared breathes life into our understanding of faith, inspiring us to recognize and appreciate the countless blessings we often overlook. As we reflect on these powerful narratives of hope from places like Guatemala, let us cultivate a heart of gratitude and a spirit of praise, reminding ourselves that God’s love and grace are ever-present, waiting for us to share and testify to His goodness.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today with hearts full of gratitude and praise. Your faithfulness is evident in our lives and the lives of those around us. We thank You for the gift of Your presence and for the many ways You are at work in the world, especially through the global Church. We are in awe of the stories of transformation and hope that arise from places like Guatemala. These narratives remind us of Your unwavering love and the marvelous things You have done for us. Help us to be vessels of Your love, sharing these stories with others and inspiring them to seek You.
Lord, ignite within us a burning desire to acknowledge and celebrate Your greatness. May we cultivate hearts that reflect on the blessings we often take for granted. Open our eyes to the wonders unfolding around us, and empower us to share these experiences in a way that glorifies Your name. Let our lives be living testimonies to Your goodness and mercy, motivating others to see Your work in their own lives.
We ask that You continue to bless the global Church. Strengthen believers around the world, providing them with courage and resilience as they share Your love in their communities. May their stories resonate with hope and inspire others to find solace in You. Help us to come together as one body in Christ, united in purpose and mission.
As we embark on our daily journeys, remind us to carry the light of Your love into every interaction, sparking joy and hope in the hearts of those we meet. We thank You for the privilege of praising You with our whole hearts and for the opportunity to tell of Your marvelous deeds. May our lives be a testament to Your grace. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
