Occupied! - A Nighttime Prayer

“But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere”
– 2 Corinthians 2:14 (NIV)

Please Pray:

God, it’s hard to live in occupied territory! I’m glad You led me out of darkness, but I’m still half-blinded by Your brilliant light. I get confused and go in the wrong direction because I’m not seeing clearly. I find myself in dark corners where I’m not safe, and then I hear buzzing bomb drones and get afraid of what’s coming at me from over the border. I know you’ve left weapons at hand for me. Help me find them, and give me the courage to use them. I belong to your Kingdom, and I will stand up for You all the days of my life. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.

    Carlene started writing professionally when she was 20 years old and has finally agreed with God that she’s a writer, not just a “hack for hire.” She has worked as a journalist, a ghostwriter, a grant writer, the editor of New England Church Life and The New England Christian, a marketing project manager, and a fundraiser for nonprofit organizations. Her award-winning marketing communications describe traffic signal systems, roads, bridges, and water treatment plants. She’s written about Australian opals, Indian wedding wear, North American hockey memorabilia, and how to repair antique steam-powered farm equipment. She’s curious enough to explore almost anything, and grateful that wherever she goes, God is already there. She looks across woods and a marsh from her writing desk in small town Maine, just a few miles from her family’s third-generation wild blueberry farm.
