"Pharaoh said, "I will let you go to sacrifice to the LORD, your God, in the wilderness, provided that you do not go too far away. Pray for me."
But once more Pharaoh became obstinate and would not let the people go."
Exodus 8:24, 28

Living our faith. You can see the conflict that Pharaoh is going thru. He sees Moses living his faith, God is working thru him and Pharaoh is struggling with who is greater, himself or God, he asks for prayers. When we pray for those who hurt us it helps in how we respond to them. We do not take on their angst but in effect we realize how God is working within and we begin to see the change within the other. Prayer is a shield in our lives that allows God to work. Moses is in constant communication with God, he is not swayed by his environment but acts according to what is asked of him. We too are called just as Moses was called, live your faith. The culture around is in need of God who will produce miracles. You are chosen, we are all chosen to live out our faith. "But you are "a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may announce the praises" of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." 1 Peter 2:9
What is God saying to me: Wait
Dear Father, I pray for those caught up in the world. I pray they break free of the bondage of sin, I pray they step out of the darkness and into the light. I pray they take time with You and become whom You have called them to be, a royal priesthood. Thank You for the moments of peace in a busy world, thank You for Your spirit living within that guides my days and my heart. Prayers for those living with cancer, may they be living witnesses to Your saving power. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Victory, pray for us.
