...The LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart. — 1 Samuel 16:7 (ESV)

Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. — Isaiah 60:1 (NIV)

Praying for Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera and Family

In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: — Ephesians 1:11 KJV

But now, this is what the LORD says—He who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine! When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched; the flames will not set you ablaze— Isaiah 43:1-2 BSB

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope— Jeremiah 29:11 (BSB)

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers— 3 John 1:2 NKJV

1. Thank God for His love and purposes for Dr. Laz. Pray that he remains aligned to God’s plans.

2. Pray for inner peace and strength for Dr Laz for all seasons of His life. Pray that together with his entire family, he will experience the reality of the security, protection, salvation and redemption that we have in Jesus.

3. Pray that regardless of the fires and waters of life the Chakwera family will find solace in the fact they are God’s.

4. Pray for Mrs Monica Chakwera. Pray that everything concerning her will be perfected. Pray that she will continue to serve the Lord wholeheartedly. Pray also that she will be kept in perfect health.
