IF MY PEOPLE WILL…

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Host Terry Lowry reads a powerful poem by Carolyn McLarty with the Eagle Forum Board.

It begins:

“If” is a tiny word with major implications. It has the power in it to move our great nation. “If” precedes “My People” in God’s own proclamation and puts on a condition to avoid retaliation. Humility is the key to open the ears of the Lord. He waits patiently to see who truly follows His Word.

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Heavenly Father,

We lift our voices in praise to your Holy Name.

Today, and every day, may we fully and completely devote our hearts to you.

Transform our lives into your likeness.

Grant us discernment to see sin as it begins to creep into our lives; may we run from it into your awaiting arms.

Drawing near to you, we commit to listen for your still small voice.

We cry out to you, O Lord, for protection, for provision, and guidance in our lives.

May all our words and actions bring a smile to your lips.

And, dear Lord, if you grant us tomorrow, let’s repeat.

Praying in and through the name of Christ,

Amen
