Hello from Macau. As you can see in this week’s photo, Macau is once again experiencing a rising flood of tourists. This is good news for the local economy, and challenging for the local population. Changes are happening so fast it is a bit shocking. As you pray for Macau, please pray for people’s attitudes and emotional adjustments to all the changes.
Please pray for:
A long time Christian friend had surgery to remove a cancerous tumor this week. May the Lord heal his body, and give peace to his family.
We know a Christian struggling with sadness and disappointment. May the Lord bring encouragement and hope to this person.
Some friends are traveling to visit family they haven’t seen for years. May they have safe travels. May they have grace to share the love of Jesus with their family members.
In “God on Mute” Pete Grieg says, “Faith in God comes from getting to know God’s faithfulness. It is a gift He gives to us when we spend time in His presence. It is a reflection of His character in our lives. … It is a relational posture of trust that enables us to receive the will of God in a way that others can’t. Faith is a pair of open hands.” (p. 145-46.) As we pray, may this faith grow in us. We come to the Father with open hands, trusting that He will give what we can’t possibly accomplish on our own.
