::Let's pray::

This post was hard to put into words. I've been realizing how many things I take for granted. I pray within my little bubble of comfort. Sometimes I forget that there are people all around the world, brothers and sister's in Christ, dying for choosing to follow Him. What about that missionary proclaiming Christ in a foreign country? We forget to pray for them, that their message (Christ's message) would reach the hearts of the people. How about that young boy that made the decision to follow Christ? Maybe a simple prayer asking God to strengthen his heart and not lose courage when his family becomes hostile towards him.

Or a petition, asking Christ to be with the person smuggling Bibles in a foreign country. All these and so much more. Let's make it a goal... not even that... a mission to pray for all these people in these circumstances.  Some of us are millions of miles away from these countries, but prayer fills that gap! 

There is a candle in every soul

Some brightly burning, some dark and cold
There is a Spirit who brings a fire
Ignites a candle and makes His home
So carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the helpless, confused and torn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world
Frustrated brother, see how he's tried to
Light his own candle some other way
See now your sister, she's been robbed and lied to
Still holds a candle without a flame
So Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the lonely, the tired and worn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world
Cause We are a family whose hearts are blazing
So let's raise our candles and light up the sky
Praying to our Father, in the name of Jesus
Make us a beacon in darkest times
So Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the helpless, deceived and poor
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the hepeless, confused and torn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
