But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ... In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

1 Cor. 11: 3, 11 (clicking on the underlined portion will take you to this chapter in Bible Suite Online)


As women we are called to support our own husbands.  This looks different in every marriage, however it remains that Christ is the head of the man and the man is the head of the woman.   It is also true that we are to work together, as we were created to be interdependent.  Therefore, I urge you to put aside all anger, strife and things that hinder you and seek the Lord daily for His will in your life.  We are called to work together in love and support each other.  One way of putting action to this wisdom from Paul is to fast and pray, seeking the Lord daily and allowing ourselves to be led by Him and then walking with the Holy Spirit in faith and obedience. 


We are all called to love one another, lifting each other up, encouraging each other, and working together.  I believe the song "City on a Hill" (link) by Casting Crowns illustrates this point very well.  I also believe that as a city and region we have let the "light fade" and I pray that through intercessors all over this region, as we join with those who have been praying for decades, turn from our sinful ways and humble ourselves, the Lord will hear us from Heaven and heal our land.

Lord, I pray that you would hear us from Heaven.  Holy Spirit, please help each one of us as we begin this time of fasting and prayer, to seek you, hear you, and obey you more fully.  Although our flesh is weak, you are strong.  I pray that you would change the atmosphere over our city and region to be one of blessing and not of curses. Help us to turn away from everything that does not bring you glory.  Lord, heal the broken hearted, the down trodden, the sick and the weak.  Restore our families, our friendships and our dreams.  And I pray that in the process You would receive all the glory and honor.  Amen.
