Who is Praying for Her?

I took this photo at a market tonight.  When we got home and I looked at this image, I was struck by so many things; one of which was the question that this post poses:

Who is praying for this little girl?

Is anyone praying specifically for the man selling mangoes on our street; the woman in the park; our neighbor who just spent three weeks  making merit at the temple; or for this beautiful little girl?  

Within a culture that has been so saturated by Buddhism and animistic beliefs, who is really praying for the Thai people?  

Who is on their knees, even on their faces, 

for this nation?  Am I?

We serve the great I AM, the Creator of heaven and earth, the God who loves us and sacrifices for us rather than demanding sacrifices of us.  We serve a God who delights in us and longs for us to enjoy Him.  The God we serve answers our prayers with even more than we could ask or imagine.  Our God is a God of forgiveness and healing, which is what each of us needs.  

"...if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." {2 Chronicles 7:14}

In our February update video, we said that we strongly feel that we are called to intercede on behalf of the Thai people.  We want to cover our neighbors in prayer, and those we see around town.  We want this nation to be covered in prayer. 

Please join us on our knees as we wait expectantly for the Lord to blow our minds by His mighty work here.  

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."  {Ephesians 3:20-21}

And please pray for this little girl.  I don't know her name or anything about her, but our Father in Heaven knitted her together artfully in her mother's womb.  He knows and loves her.  He longs for her.  Pray that she would come to know Jesus, the One who gave His life for her.  

In Christ Alone,

Kate
