“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

for they will be filled.

⁷Blessed are the merciful, for they shall be shown mercy.

⁸Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

⁹Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the sons of God.

¹⁰Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

¹¹Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. ¹²Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”

 Matthew 5: 3-12

This month I have stood in awe and wonder of God’s amazing ability to foresee and plan ahead everything we would need, dating back to the beginning of creation. Looking at the above “be- attitudes” God has revealed to us the person that he wants his followers to be. As we ask ourselves, what is required of us by God? Who should I be? How should I act? And most importantly (for most of us): How do I attain the blessings that God has promised us? We are led back to this simple passage in Matthew. This month our themes are centered mostly on one of the Beatitudes, though we touch on almost all of them. Matt 5: 6 says that we are blessed when we hunger and thirst for righteousness for we will be filled. My prayer this month for you, and for those who will be touched by the prayers of those involved in this Prayer Relay is that God fill your hunger and thirst, and that above all, he enrich you spiritually, which will equip you in all areas of your life. Stay blessed.

Let us pray:

Father we thank you because you are God. We thank you because you are indeed the same yesterday, today and forever. We thank you because the promises you made us over 2000 years ago stand, even to this very day. We thank you because you are not man that you should lie, nor the son of man that you should change your mind, so we can rely on you and your word. I pray that as we lay prostrate before your glorious throne, as we humble ourselves before you this month, you would pour out your spirit on us. I pray that we may indeed be enriched spiritually and that you will fill our hunger and quench our thirst for you. Bless this movement and bless us your servants as we continue to run the race set out before us. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray,

Amen.
