Answer to Prayer

Religious freedom in the post-Soviet era has seen many dynamic new Christian groups emerge, injecting new life into the nation’s spirituality. Unity between different Christian groups and denominations is very good, especially for a former Soviet state.

Challenge for Prayer

Freedom has brought progress. Doors for the gospel remain open, and evangelical positions can have a hearing in society. However, with freedom came many dangers – increased materialism, hedonism and nihilism. Substance abuse, suicide and, most sinister, trafficking women for prostitution in the West all disintegrate the nation’s foundations. Often, the most gifted leave Lithuania for more lucrative positions elsewhere. Economic growth must be paired with real social and spiritual transformation; pray that God would bring massive societal change through His people.

Psalm 138

Psalm 138

New International Version (NIV)

Psalm 138

Of David. ¹ I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart;
   before the “gods” I will sing your praise.
² I will bow down toward your holy temple
   and will praise your name
   for your unfailing love and your faithfulness,
for you have so exalted your solemn decree
   that it surpasses your fame.
³ When I called, you answered me;
   you greatly emboldened me.
 ⁴ May all the kings of the earth praise you, LORD,
   when they hear what you have decreed.
⁵ May they sing of the ways of the LORD,
   for the glory of the LORD is great.
 ⁶ Though the LORD is exalted, he looks kindly on the lowly;
   though lofty, he sees them from afar.
⁷ Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
   you preserve my life.
You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes;
   with your right hand you save me.
⁸ The LORD will vindicate me;
   your love, LORD, endures forever—
   do not abandon the works of your hands.
