Praying With a Target

Today the Summit board began a regular time of prayer. Each Wednesday at noon, the Summit board will be praying together. While we may be separated physically, we are coming together in spirit to pray for our school.

Ours is targeted prayer. It is strategic. We share through email a common Scripture reading, a short devotion, and a prayer that lauds our Lord and then lays before Him our petitions...just as Jesus taught us to do.

But our prayer has also been targeted...by our great enemy. One Christian writer once said that to live lives fully committed to Christ is like walking through downtown Baghdad with an American flag t-shirt. Don't forget, the one who opposes us is the one who orchestrated the crucifixion of our Lord.

So pray for all members of the Summit family. Pray specifically for our staff and our board. Pray for our parents and their children. And pray for the families that will one day be part of our larger family. As we walk in ever greater faithfulness, our enemy will become enraged. He will attempt to thwart us with every tactic imaginable. Yet ours is the victory in Christ, secured on the bloody tree of Calvary. We do not fear, but we must walk forward in bold unity, covered in the prayers of those made righteous by Christ.
