The Lord is Good - Prayers of Thanksgiving
Today is Day 5 of our
36 Day Spiritual Adventure of getting to know and then actively praying for
Northern Thailand Impact Ministry (NTIM) and all of the various unreached
people groups in and around Northern Thailand. Thank you for joining us for
this great time of seeking the face of God on behalf of millions who have never
heard the message of our Lord Jesus.
The
Psalmist wrote this, “Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with
praise. Give thanks to Him; Bless His name. For the Lord is Good; His
lovingkindness is everlasting. And His faithfulness is to all generations.”
Psalm 100:4-5
Just a few days ago, people all over my country of
birth (the United States) celebrated the festival called Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving as a festival is also celebrated in many other countries all over
the world primarily during the season of harvest when people are bringing in
the produce from the land and thinking about the goodness of God’s provision to
them.
As
the Vice President in charge of Field Operations for NTIM, I want to express
our thanks to Almighty God for His faithfulness to provide NTIM with people,
with partners both national and international, with financial resources, and
with volunteers that have a heart and willingness to be used of God to take the
love and message of Jesus to some of the most needy and darkest places in our
world today.
We are thankful for the generosity of our financial partners like
many of you who give every month as well as those who support us from time to
time. We are thankful for our faithful prayer partners like most of you who
pray for us on a regular basis bearing in mind that our battle for the hearts
and minds of millions and millions of lost people in and around Northern
Thailand is not a battle with flesh and blood but a battle with the powers,
principalities and rulers of darkness who wage war with God, with God’s people,
and with God’s mission.
Today, we want to declare along with the Psalmist that
the Lord is Good and that His loving kindness is everlasting and His
faithfulness is to all generations.
Prayer Example:
“Lord, we enter your courts with praise and thanksgiving. We bless your name.
And right now, we intercede for NTIM and for the millions of Thai people,
Laotian people, Burmese people, and Chinese people who are still trapped in
darkness waiting for the light of Jesus. We ask you to bind the enemy and to
provide the resources needed for NTIM to reach them with the gospel. We pray
for you to protect your servants and those who wage war with the enemy on
behalf of the lost every day in the heart of Southeast Asia. We ask that you
would send more of your people into the fields so that all may have a chance to
taste and see your goodness and glorify your great name. We pray this in the
name of Jesus. Amen.”
