What's your plan as we go into the holidays for how you're going to share the

gospel with your family members or friends who don't know Jesus? I wrote a short

resource called Gospel Threads to help you intentionally share Christ in the

fabric of your normal conversations around the table or the living room or wherever you are,

and we want to send you a free copy of gospel threads to your front door.

Just go to radical.net slash share Jesus.

Psalm 122 verses 6 through 9.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May they be secure who love you. Peace be within your

walls and security within your towers. For my brothers and companions sake I will say peace be within you. For the sake of the

house of the Lord our God I will seek your good. And so this Psalm ends and there's a ton we could talk about with this

song altogether but specifically these last four verses there's so much we

could dive into the picture I want us to see though and what I just read is the desire for peace

for goodness among the people of God in the house of God or the city of God.

So Jerusalem is mentioned the sake of the house of the Lord our God, talking about the temple.

So this is the place where God's glory dwelled among his people in the Old Testament, and it's a prayer

for peace among God's people, for God's people in that place.

So here's why these verses in particular stuck out to me

as we're praying for specific needs.

The people are sending in at radical.net slash prayer request. I encourage you to continue to send these in. It's so humbling reading through these. But this is one particular request that came in in light of the pandemic going on around us.

the state's plan to reopen. Some think it puts people at risk
