Challenges for Prayer

Slovakia is a nation in the midst of significant change. Economic reforms and EU membership both created as well as solved problems. Increasing wealth (for some) is accompanied by the new influences of materialism and moral relativism. Depression and suicide rates are among the highest in Europe; pray that many might seek for hope and truth, and find these in Christ.
Slovakia enjoys a strong Christian heritage,but Catholic, Lutheran and Reformed churches, while many, suffer from widespread nominalism and low attendance. However, renewal movements are growing in these churches, especially among Lutherans as they focus on young people and small groups (Family Fellowships). Pray that these movements would expand and increase. Pray that the strong foundation of Christianity in Slovakia would be brought to vibrant life by a new move of the Holy Spirit.

Great Is Your Love - Matt Hoffland

Uploaded by jetsonmace on Oct 10, 2010

I will praise You, O Lord, among the nations
With the singing of my heart
I will awake with the dawn
I will sing of Your name among the people
And let Your glory shine all over the earth

Great is Your love, it is higher than the mountains
Great is Your love, it is deeper than the seas
Be exalted, O Lord, above the heavens and the skies
And let Your glory shine all over the earth

Proverbs 26 (with text - press on more info.)

shadow of your wings

Purify Me - Clay Crosse

Psalm 57

Psalm 57

New International Version (NIV)

Psalm 57

Psalm 57^[a]

    For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” Of David. A miktam.^[b]When he had fled from Saul into the cave. ¹ Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me,
   for in you I take refuge.
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings
   until the disaster has passed.
 ² I cry out to God Most High,
   to God, who vindicates me.
³ He sends from heaven and saves me,
   rebuking those who hotly pursue me—^[c]
   God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.
 ⁴ I am in the midst of lions;
   I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts—
men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
   whose tongues are sharp swords.
 ⁵ Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
   let your glory be over all the earth.
 ⁶ They spread a net for my feet—
   I was bowed down in distress.
They dug a pit in my path—
   but they have fallen into it themselves.
 ⁷ My heart, O God, is steadfast,
   my heart is steadfast;
   I will sing and make music.
⁸ Awake, my soul!
   Awake, harp and lyre!
   I will awaken the dawn.
 ⁹ I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
   I will sing of you among the peoples.
¹⁰ For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
   your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
 ¹¹ Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
   let your glory be over all the earth.
