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.

Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical.net.

Psalm, chapter 116, verse 1.

I love the Lord because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy.

Is that not a beautiful verse?

I love the Lord just simple adoration affection for God. Why? Because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy.

I just think about all these prayer requests

that I'm reading that people are sending in to radical.net slash prayer request as we pray for

specific people during this pandemic specific situations and there are so many different pleas for mercy.

So today I want to read something Steve wrote and Sheila wrote that are very closely related so

Sheila wrote I have two brothers in separate prisons serving long sentences

They are locked down due to COVID-19. There's no church, no chaplains. It seems so dark in their letters. I pray for the Holy Spirit to comfort and encourage my brothers and the inmates around them to remind them that they are not alone and for God to minister to them

spiritually and physically. And then I read Steve Wright, please pray for my sister

Aaron, she's a corrections officer and recently the virus has started to spread the prison

where she works and she's showing symptoms.

She's awaiting test results.

Please pray that this would bring Aaron closer to Lord and to be a light in that prison.
