I Pray

Not normal, a little weird, a radical…psst, psst, psst. Opinions, whispers, conversations as they make their jokes and laugh about her.

This gossip pool where everyone judges everyone else and “they” allow only those who entertain their language in.  We are too grown for that! Brings me back to 1980 and I have been there and done that.

I see a shift and the evil one is working. He is such an influencer. Subtle and discreet making insecurity reign so that all that listen will be his puppet. He has created circles that perpetuate lies and the arrogance that fill this place is smothering.

I pray and influence where I can … cuz I know this battle is not my own. I also know that I was placed here for His purpose. My God who reigns. The discomfort I felt immediately when joining this place gave me insight into how He would use me.

And maybe I’ve been too timid. I really need to watch my words. I am not one of them and my responsibility is great here. I cannot minimize what is beyond my comprehension so I need to pay attention. My surroundings, voices around me, and the tone of the culture.

I pray…

Heavenly Father, I ask that you come in this place. In Jesus name, I bless this place with protection against any evil, jealousy, scandal, lies, deceit, and insecurity that can lead to these spirits. In Jesus name, I rid this place of gossip, laziness and arrogance Lord. Holy Spirit, be in this place. Bless those around me, our hearts, minds, families, work, and those things that worry us and confuse our thoughts. Lord Jesus, free us from the pressure of meeting the measures of this world and help us keep our eyes on you, our thoughts on you, our words on you. Lord, whoever does not know you, I pray that when you speak, your disciples listen and move to the will of your call. Give us courage Lord in grace and mercy. Lord, help us love like you. Thank you for answered prayers and your faithfulness. In Jesus glorious name, Amen.
