how should I pray?

 

As we hear over and over and over of the terrorists, the persecution of Christians, the horrors done to children and the ethnic killings I keep asking my LORD GOD how to join HIM in prayer.  Romans 8:26 &34

 

2 weeks ago HE gave me a verse... Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners and those who are mistreated as if you yourself were suffering.  Hebrews 13:3

 

That gets me to asking myself, what would I want GOD to do for me if I was in that situation?

 

Just moments ago I read again of children killed by terrorists and again I cried out, "How do I join with you in prayer for these, LORD?"

 

What I saw is nothing new but I feel I must share... I saw and felt a calm while all around me was a whirling storm.

 

I am to continue to pray for those suffering that they experience that calm that is found in the eye of a storm. like Stephen... the 1st martyr, I am to pray that they be so aware of JESUS's presence with them that what is happening around and to them fades from view. 

 

Will you join with me to pray for those suffering as if you were there suffering with them.  I know that if I were in the storm they are in, I would want to be with JESUS and have HIS peace fill me. JESUS said:

Peace I leave with you, MY peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

 

Almighty GOD I come in the name of JESUS.  I thank YOU for JESUS and for access to YOUR throne.  I know YOUR heart aches for these little ones and that YOU are working even these horrible things that evil men are doing for an end result of good for these little ones who love YOU.  Please flood them with the Holy SPIRIT awareness of JESUS so vivid to them that all that is happening around and to them fades and their fears melt away as YOUR peace surrounds them in a calm.  Have YOUR loving way... though I don't understand we trust YOUR love for I see what JESUS did and does for me, I trust YOUR wisdom for I see the beauty and order of YOUR creation, I trust YOUR plans and cling to YOUR promises... have YOUR way... for I know it is at work and it is best.
