On Wednesdays, we have staff chapel. These are times when we study Scripture (usually based on what I am going to talk about on the weekend), we also pray, share our faith stories and encourage each other. These are refreshing, encouraging times for me. Today, off the charts good, though.
Today, we circled up and voiced the prayers of those who nailed their notes of confession and thanks to the cross on Sunday. If you were at Parkway on Sunday, you know that we ended the service with a powerful moment where we encouraged people to take action on things God is doing in their life by nailing notes of thanks and notes of repentance to crosses that were placed throughout the auditorium. The room was filled with the sounds of hammers hitting nails. I still can't get that sound out of my mind.
Our time of prayer today was just as powerful. There were passionate prayers. There were prayers of brokenness. There were prayers for things that we didn't know what to pray for. There were tears. I was so proud of our team as we took the needs of the people, made them our own and then took them before God who is able to do more than we could ever hope or imagine. I can't wait to see how God moves next.
