Day 43–February 12, 2020

Dear friends,

On Thursday, April 9, together we complete the journey of 100 Days of Unceasing Prayer and Shared Scripture. Across the territory we have heard the stories of people being inspired by what they are seeing God do in and through The Salvation Army. People have bonded together in prayer as we lifted up the various ministry expressions through daily, focused prayer requests. We have learned much more about the communities in which we serve.

Thank you for sharing this journey. Thank you for your prayers. Thank you for listening to God as he has spoken through his Word in the shared Scripture readings from Genesis to Revelation.

We want to also say thank you to those who have already completed the survey and shared with us what God has been impressing upon your hearts and minds through this journey. For those who haven’t had the opportunity yet, we encourage you to take some time during these days of “staying home” to share your thoughts.

As we began the 100 Days journey, none of us could have ever imagined that we would be in the midst of a pandemic at the end of it. We are confident that God knew what lay ahead. This discipline of prayer and shared Scripture has been used by God to prepare us for these days, and the days that will follow. As we spend these days “social distancing,” let’s remain committed to prayer for one another, and for Canada and Bermuda. Let’s remember to continue to spend time in Scripture.

We continue to count it a privilege to be partners in the gospel (Philippians 1:3-5) and together anticipate all that God has in mind to do in and through his Army of salvation.Yours in Christ,

Floyd and Tracey Tidd, Commissioners
Territorial Leaders, Canada and Bermuda

100 Days

Unceasing Prayer

Ministry Expression
Lakeview Manor, Riverview, N.B.

Praise
Our ministry unit’s contribution to the 100 Days of Unceasing Prayer and Shared Scripture is a recognition and appeal to build trust and love. We recognize the uncertainty that many families experience when they start a relationship with a nursing home.

Petition
Pray for those entrusting their loved ones into a care environment as they take this “leap of faith,” which we understand is one of life's most difficult decisions.

Intercession
Pray for us as we strive to stay open to the needs of our clients and their families, and recognize their grief and pain as unique and precious.

Shared Scripture

Passage
Psalm 103

Reflect
Having read David’s words of praise in this psalm, what would you most praise God for? What inspires or hinders you in praising the Lord?
