Publisher's Synopsis
Every one of us experiences times in our lives where we feel unqualified or ineffective in God's kingdom work. We live in a culture that glorifies physical beauty and strength, extreme skills, and dazzling talents. Life is a competition, and if we don't stand out, or have special gifts, then the world considers us mostly unremarkable and of little use.
We all struggle with moments of doubt about our usefulness to God, but never so much as when our physical bodies start to fail us. We start to grow older; we tire easily; our muscles weaken, along with our sight and hearing. Sickness, disease, or physical tragedies can steal our health at any age. Our once busy and active pace grinds to a crawl as we face the reality of things we simply cannot do. And along with those physical challenges come the emotional and spiritual battles of where we fit into the purpose and plan of God's work.
If you find yourself thinking, "What good am I to the kingdom anymore?" this devotional is for you.
We believe you are strategically and sovereignly positioned to have kingdom impact in this generation through a simple commitment to prayer. How often have you heard someone say, "All I can do is 'just pray'!" The reality is, the most powerful and effective thing we can do is pray.
What would happen if today's generation of aging saints decided to ask God for an army of laborers to be sent out into His harvest? What would happen if every believer who is limited by their physical abilities decided to focus their time and attention on seeking God's heart and pleading for God's Spirit to bring a fresh revival to our world?
God is not looking for people of strength and confidence. He is seeking those who know they are helpless and weak so that His strength and glory can be made magnified in us. No matter what your challenges or limitations, God still has work for you to do for the kingdom.
We invite you to accept the challenge and just pray.
