And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
(Ephesians 3:17-19 NIV)

Two Things We Have Heard: an invitation to pray with us




Father God,


May we not run from your calling, no matter how difficult it may be. Jesus you are Love, and we run to you asking for your goodness and provision to follow.


We question, we call out, we pray.


We know you are calling us to something greater, but God are you calling us to something different? We are feeling your tug, your waves of calling lapping at our hearts. We can scarcely believe the honor of this - could you really be saying you desire us to go for this, full time, to further your Kingdom God? Humbly we know we are not good enough for this task, and with even more submission we ask - how? - when such a thing seems impossible.


So we ask for help in our prayer, from those who love You and are thus known by You. Is our calling to jump into ministry in radical ways, to forgo the ordinary, and seek a way to love the lost full time? 


But we know You and your power, and we know oh Lord that with you we have the gift of unfailing love. And that is enough for now as we discern, fast and pray. 




 One thing God has spoken, 
   two things I have heard: 
“Power belongs to you, God, 
  and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”; 
and, “You reward everyone 
   according to what they have done.

Psalm 62:11-12
