Scripture Prayer

Proverbs 3: 5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own understanding. Acknowledge him in all your ways, and he will make your paths straight.

Father God, here we are again lifting up to You, your faithful servants, Father Shaw and Mother Julie and Lydia Mudge. We thank You that You have been guiding them along the straight path as they discern your instructions for their mission in Peru. Help them to continue to trust You, rely on You and acknowledge You in all their ways so that through the grace of your Son, Jesus Christ, and the inspiration of Your Holy Spirit, they continue to do your will in all their ministries.

We ask specifically, Lord, that You clear the way to a resolution of the visa and residency card situation; that You be with them as they plan for seminary orientation and their course on Biblical Interpretation; that You lead them as they design and prepare on-line courses; that Julie’s interviews with ordination candidates go well; that the classes at the seminary are well enrolled; and that the services that the services that the Mudges lead are filled with Your Holy Spirit.

Last of all, Lord, we pray for the relationships and spiritual protection of all missionaries and other diocesan team members in Peru and that their ministries, finances, resources and priorities are according to Your will. Amen.
