Faithful Til' the End

So the 21 days of prayer officially ended yesterday (Monday) but we have decided to keep it going for the rest of finals week. Hey, we've already been praying for 21 days, why not pray for four more? Plus, finals are no excuse to stop praying. If finals can make us stop praying, then we are weak!! What will we do when persecution comes? Will we fall away and wither like the seed that sprouted up in rocky soil? No way!! But yeah, I'm graduating on Saturday and I felt like the Lord was asking me to be faithful until the end. Today was day 22 and there were 5 of us that gathered. Everyone was pretty beat up from studying and lack of sleep but we pressed through and the Lord came and refreshed us. He is so faithful! It's such a joy to come together with other believers and delight in the Lord. We finished off prayer with a few worship songs and it was so sweet. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! The prayers of the saints are like sweet smelling insence...

From Zechariah 9

"Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your King comes to you, righteous and having salvation, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey...As for you, because of the blood of my covenant with you, I will free your prisoners from the waterless pit. Return to your fortress, O prisoners of hope; even now I annouce that I will restore twice as much to you...Then the Lord will appear over them; his arrow will flash like lightning...The Lord their God will save them on that day as the flock of his people. They will sparkle in his land like jewels in a crown. How attractive and beautiful they will be! Grain will make the young men thrive, and new wine the young women."

Behold He comes!
