This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”


“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”


“Come,” he said.


Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”


Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”

Prayer Requests 6/2/11

The prayer requests from this week's Love in Action feeding are below.

Perhaps some of you saw this "60 Minutes" segment about homeless children in Central Florida that aired in March, but I just watched it for the first time yesterday and was very moved: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3rkgrvmbBU&feature=related. It got me thinking about urgency versus complacency.

"Acedia" is the Latin word used in the original list of the Seven Deadly Sins, and it means spiritual apathy or discouragement. Because of acedia, we neglect to do things we should be doing. Our inaction is fueled by a mistaken sense that there's no rush — there's plenty of time to respond to God's call later.

We don't hear much about "acedia" nowadays, but we certainly experience it. My prayer for our community is that we will have an increased sense of urgency about relieving the suffering around us. Instead of becoming overwhelmed by the needs in our midst, we can be empowered by the Holy Spirit to become perpetual instruments of compassion and servanthood. The Bible tells us there is not time for discouragement, nor reason for it.

Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:31

Thank you for keeping this ministry and its guests in your prayers!
