I #pray 2da frm Num. 27.23: Direct us, dear #Christ! There're various ways 2 imagine #Jesus' directing us: an orchestra conductor, a corporate board member or traffic cops. I chose this flamboyant cop video. How'll He answer ths #prayer 2da 4 u? Any of these? #PCUSA www.youtube.com/watch?v=RG-O...

I #pray 2da frm Acts 21.14: Ur will b done 4 us, dear #Christ! Ths's the bottom line, isn't it? #Jesus' will. The challenge is 2 know wht tht is, making ths my #prayer. I know it'll b rooted in #love but, still, I need Him 2 show me exactly wht direction He wants me 2 take. R u unsure, 2? #PCUSA

I #pray 2da frm Num. 21.7: Take the serpents frm us, dear #Christ! The serpents in the #Bible here r real. But I'm thinking of "serpents" symbolizing harm, making ths my #prayer, & tht #evil 's not just "over there." Will #Jesus answer ths prayer in ur own #heart or in ur world 2da? #PCUSA #faith

I #pray 2da frm Acts 19.6: Come upon r spirits, dear #Christ! In the #Bible here, the Ephesians then spoke in tongues. Tht's not wht I'm after in my #prayer.

I #pray 2da frm Num. 9.23: We keep Ur charge at Ur command, dear #Christ! The law of government's not necessarily #Jesus' law, making ths my #prayer. #ChristianNationalism is trying 2 seize state power/law, forsaking Jesus' commands. Do u see tht, 2? Wht's Jesus charge us 2 do in ths moment? #PCUSA

I #pray 2da frm #Psalm 27.4: We seek 2 behold Ur #beauty, dear #Christ! Walking yesterday--a lovely spring day--we saw a small cluster of early crocuses.

I #pray 2da frm #Psalm 25.12: Teach us the way we should choose, dear #Christ! In every moment there r choices b4 us. "Should" is a grammatical mood I avoid but the #Bible invokes it here.

I #pray 2da frm Lev. 24.2: Keep r lights burning, dear #Christ! In the bridesmaids' parable, we keep the lamps burning. Here r #prayer is tht #Jesus keep r spirits strong & burning--active against the cruelty & corruption threatening us. How'll He energize u--keep ur light burning--2da? #PCUSA

I #pray 2da frm Acts 11.29: Send us relief, dear #Christ! The relief in the #Bible here was responding 2 famine & in ths pic 2 an earthquake. Corrupt depravity in r politicians makes ths my #prayer.

I #pray 2da frm #Psalm 22.19: Come quickly 2 r aid, dear #Christ! I immediately thought of the observers set 2 respond 2 phone alerts 2 race 2 the scene of an #ICE action. They r literally #Jesus' answer 2 ths #prayer in #Minneapolis and my city, 2. Do u gratefully see wht I see here? #PCUSA #love

I #pray 2da frm Acts 7.10: Rescue us frm r afflictions, dear #Christ! Stephen in the #Bible here's not highlighting Joseph's afflictions but they pop out at me as I feel the distress of r migrant neighbors, making ths my #prayer. How does #Jesus reach out 2 rescue them & us? Is it thru us? #PCUSA

I #pray 2da frm Acts 5.19: Open r prison doors, dear #Christ! Mostly I've thought of these as #spiritual prison doors, which still make ths ur #prayer? But now doors in detention centers (truly prisons) weigh upon us & r immigrant neighbors. How can #Jesus help open them 4 us? Wht's r part? #PCUSA

I #pray 2da frm Ex. 39.42: We'll do the work as U command, dear #Christ! Ths's a humble promise tht, #Jesus knows, we often break but recommit 2 everyday, really, making ths my #prayer 2da. Wht work tht's right does He ask of u 2da? How's Jesus fill in what's left? Wht's possible then? #PCUSA #love
