Hope for India

From June to August I will be traveling to India to work with victims of sex trafficking through an organization named Rahab's Rope. This verse from Isaiah is my hope and vision as I encounter these rescued women. The Lord promises to bind up the broken hearted, to comfort them and restore them. I am already praying for all the women I will encounter in India and I pray that the Lord will touch them and restore them with His Hope.

"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion - to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations." Isaiah 61:1-4

10 days until departure

I love the lyrics to this song and it really gives words to what my prayer has been this week. I pray for peace and satisfaction in the Lord alone as i get closer and closer to leaving for India. I want to choose the Lords plan for my life above my own and I want a heart that will be in love with what He loves and will break for what His heart breaks for. Thank you for all the prayers and letters of encouragement, they have helped calm me down and encouraged me!

Let me be in love with what You love
Let me be most satisfied in You
Forsaking what this world has offered me
I choose to be in love with You
I will choose to be in love with You

Let me know the peace that's mine in You
Let me know the joy my heart can sing
For I have nothing Lord apart from You
I choose to call on Christ in me
I will choose to call on Christ in me

For in the fullness of who You are
I can rest in this place
And giving over this, my journey Lord
I see nothing but Your face

Let me know that You have loved me first
Let me know the weight of my response
For You have long pursued my wandering heart
I choose to glory in Your cross
I will choose to glory in Your cross

I bow down, I bow down
my beloved- here I am
I bow down, I bow down to You...

    Prayers for the Lord to go before you and lay your path with His love and grace, placing the people who need His Love to be in your path, to feel His love through you. I am moved by your devotion and will be praying for your safety and stength. God's peace,
