Day 40

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Matthew 28:18-19

Father, You are good! You love all of Your people with a love that I'll never fully understand. You care for each child in each nation and know every heart.

Give me the desire to tell others about You. Let it begin to burn in me in a way that I can do nothing but tell others of Your love and glory.

Be with my friends who are missionaries and working in other countries. Inspire them as they teach others about You. Keep them safe. Encourage them. Remind them that they are not alone. Provide for them and their families. Remind me to pray for them.

Thank You for Your love and for calling me to be a part of sharing it with the world. Thank You for Community Christian and for those that I see on Sundays. Thank You for my Community Group and for those that have opened their homes. Thank You for bringing these brothers and sisters into my life. Thank You for allowing me to serve at my campus and be a part of what Community is doing in the Valley and in the world -- help many to find their way back to You. Thank You for the Pastors... encourage and build them up. Provide for them. Give them deep joy! Thank you for those that I've prayed for and invited to Easter services... touch their hearts. Draw them close to You. Thank You for these 40 Days of Prayer and Fasting. As we break the fast on this Good Friday, help me to continue spending time with You each day... I have loved the time we've spent together.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
