Today is my last full day here in Uganda. So these are just 2 prayers that I have prayed through frequently here and I’m sure I will continue to pray through even once I’m home.
Take some time to meditate on them.
“O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need for further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, so that I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, “Rise up my love, my fair one, and come away.” Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long.” -A.W. Tozer “The Pursuit of God”
“Jesus, I need to give myself up. I am not strong enough to love you and walk with you on my own. I can’t do it, and I need you. I need you deeply and desperately. I believe you are worth it, that you are better than anything else I could have in this life or the next. I want you. And when I don’t, I want to want you. Be all in me. Take all of me. Have your way with me.” –Francis Chan “Crazy Love”
Stay tuned for updates on more ways you can get involved in what God has been doing here in Uganda and also in Kenya and Papua New Guinea. The Lord has been doing tremendous things in the past few months and has brought many new children into our path, whom we have in faith taken in. Now we must respond by giving freely as He leads each of us to. Please be praying about this opportunity to serve the Lord.
