“But forget all that— it is nothing compared to what I am going to do.
For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.
The wild animals in the fields will thank me, the jackals and owls, too, for giving them water in the desert. Yes, I will make rivers in the dry wasteland so my chosen people can be refreshed.
I have made Israel for myself, and they will someday honor me before the whole world. Isaiah 43:16-21 (NLT)
Praying for our Mission in Kawana:
Okay Lord, We know that you have a mission for us here at Kawana. We are excited at the thought of doing something new, something that will spread your word in this neighbourhood and beyond.
We trust you, Lord and we follow where you lead – whether it’s making a way through the wilderness, parting the seas, or just sending out a light in our corner of the world.
Father, some of us are eager; keen to jump right in. Some of us want things to happen now, while others are thoughtful planners and want to know how it will work. Still others are worried about change, will they still have a place here; a safe haven from the storm. And yet others Lord, don’t know what to think.
Change is hard for some, but staying the same can be just as hard.
Lord we trust you to lead the way. We place everything under your care. We remind you of the covenant we have with you; that your hand will always be there to guide us. Lord we call on that covenant today; we complain as Abraham did, “Show us, Lord. Show us clearly.”
We pray all these things in Jesus name and in the power of the Holy Spirit, AMEN
