A Day to Pray II

Today is a day to do less reading and more praying.

Our "Summer of Souls" has been a battle cry. As we are told in Ephesians 5:14, "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." As we stand in the light of God, He exposes our associations with the deeds of darkness so that we can renounce them. I can tell you from personal experience that it is a wondrous thing to go through the process of deliverance.

I think a good prayer for today would be that we all confess to God our willingness to be exposed to His light, so that He can do the work of deliverance that we need in order to become children of light. It is not something to fear, but something to embrace. As the old hymn says, "the flames shall not hurt you- I only design thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine."
