Fumbling Toward Jesus: Prayer Request Wednesday

jessamynorchard (67)in #life • 5 years ago (edited)

Wednesday is one of my favorite days of the week, because it’s the day I set aside to ask you to share any specific prayer requests you may have, so that I can help you pray for these things.

When we engage in spiritual warfare, just like any battle, we are stronger in numbers. This applies to prayer, too. Sure, our prayers are heard in their singularity, but there is strength in working in a team—together.

We have been discussing prayer over the past week, and I hope you have been blessed in these fumbling thoughts and through His perfect scripture.

For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which He has called you, what are the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His great might.

Ephesians: 14-19

I am Jessamyn Orchard (@jessamynorchard), and I am a former youth pastor, worship minister, and church lay leader, who graduated from a Christian college. Most recently, however, I’m an addict in recovery who rededicated my life to Jesus about 6 months ago. I was raised in church, and saved at age 12, but I did a lot of straying over the past 10+ years, falling into pits of sin through addictions and self-pity. I’m no authority, just a believer in a big God and called to spread His word through as many conduits as present themselves to me. Fumbling Toward Jesus is a multi-media ministry campaign and includes a written blog of daily devotions on Steemit and an accompanying monthly podcast on Anchor.fm, and it represents years of study—both over the years and lately, and now combined with a whole load of human experience. I’m just a super nerdy sinner saved by a really awesome grace.
