Hello, fellow Heroes.
First off, some important news. We will not be meeting in the Fortress this Sunday as usual. Instead, we will be downtown in the square, where all heroes seem to do battle. Although, we won't be doing battle exactly in the super hero manner, we will be doing battle in the Christian way. That is we'll be battling in the spirit through prayer and worship. I've taken a page from the 40 days with Jesus book and applied one of its missions here.
Our next Bible hero is David. We often think of the account of when David killed the giant Goliath. We don't see too many real giants any more, but giants don't always have to be people like Goliath. A giant can be a big problem in your life. Ask God to show you the biggest problem in your life and at your school. Here's a list to help you identify those.
Lying
Cheating
Anger
Fighting
Disobedience
Divorce
Problem with a friend
Parents out of work
Problems at home
Ignoring God for the world
Stealing
Now these aren't the only ones by far. Pray for the things listed or make your own list. As you pray, believe that God is sending His angels to work in your school and at home and your city.
Here is a practical and neat way to remember to pray every day for these things. Find a rock. Not a big one, just one in your driveway or yard that is about the size of your fist or smaller. Set it beside your bed or bathroom sink or somewhere where you will see it often. Like the rock that took down Goliath, it will serve to remind you that your prayers are taking down all the giants in your life. Prayer can change things! Read 1 Samuel 17:45-47.
Much, much love
Mr. David
