(white-flag strategy) countdown!

54 days ago I wrote a post inviting you on a 63 day journey with me!

A wonderful 7 week journey of prayer!

And I can hardly believe we are only 9 days away from its completion!!!!

So far, (if you have been one of my prayer companions,) we have prayed The Surrender Novena 5 times together, completing the 6th one today.

Which means tomorrow begins our 7th and final Surrender Novena together, ending on Election Day, November 3rd.

“Jesus never intended for us to live the Christian life alone.”

“The Lord God said: It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suited to him.”

Genesis 2:18

Yet, so often I forget just how much I need others.

Certainly I know that we need to live our lives out with others & throughout Scripture God tells us to “lift one another up!”

And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding… “

Colossians 1:9

Most especially God tells us to pray for one another.

“that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.”

1 Timothy 2:1-2

Undeniably, He would not tell us to pray for one another if he didn’t intend to answer those prayers.
