Iron Rose Sister Ministries

Each year, I choose a focus for my personal prayers and those that I lift up on behalf of the ministry. Last year, I asked for God’s wisdom; the year before, provision—financial and workers—for IRSM. What a blessing to see His answer to those requests, for which we are extremely grateful. In our thanksgiving, we continue to lift up similar petitions for wisdom and provision. (And thank you for being part of these answered prayers!)
This year, my emphasis in prayer and in study is Listening. As someone who stays quite busy, whose thoughts are always whirling with a multi-tasked variety of ideas, dates, commitments, and people, it is hard to stop and listen—to be fully present in the moment and listen. Listening to God, to others, and to the world.
The book of Jeremiah has the most references to listening or hearing than any other book in the Bible. And it is in reference to God lamenting that His people have not listened to Him. I do not want to be the subject of our Father’s lament. And I’m sure you don’t either.
So, I invite you to join with me in listening this year.
May we listen through prayer, through our five senses, through the Word, through relationships, through nature... May we listen to and for the voice of God.
Thank you for joining us in our month of prayer—as we listen to God’s direction and blessing for the ministry.
Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,
for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints;
but let them not turn back to folly. Psalm 85:8
