Sacred Gathering

February 12, 2008 in church,reflections with 1 Comment

Tonight is the last night of a 3 day event at our church called the Sacred Gathering. It has been a focused time of prayer, worship and fasting. We held the same event 4 years ago soon after we arrived at FBC and it has been as incredible now as it was then! I did not come into this event praying and seeking the Lord about anything specific, I just wanted to seek HIM.

He has not failed to show areas of my life that are sinful. This is never a fun process- to wrestle with God over areas of disobedience or complacency, yet He always leaves a mark that leaves us unchanged. I am forever grateful and in awe of His tenacious pursuit of holiness for my life and for His church.

He has also not failed to encourage my heart in His Greatness and Love.

I have many things swirling in my mind and heart that I am still processing and seeking how they will be lived out daily for me. I do know some involve more specific prayer and a return to some spiritual disciplines that I have grown lax in.

I read this verse yesterday and it just poured over me and I hope that it does the same for you.

“We do make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy. O Lord, listen! O, Lord, forgive! O Lord, hear and act!”
Daniel 9:18b-19a

    The times of pruning in my life have been painful, but so necessary. May God continue to sanctify your church for His purpose and glor!
