One week ago today, about 7,000 women came to Indianapolis to cry out to the Lord for the urgent needs of our day.

And those 7,000 were joined by women in groups across the country and around the world, as women joined to cry out to the Lord together.

When I heard the theme cry out, I knew that this was a different kind of prayer.

As the Samalcast began, there was a lot of anticipation in the room.

The Lord is inviting us to come in prayer and to cry out to him.

I cry out that the Lord will meet us in a way we could not have imagined.

This wasn't just a gathering.

This was going to be a time where women were really going to go deep, much deeper in their prayer life.

And I don't mean just pray. I mean cry out.

Call for the whaling women.

Lord Jesus, we pray tonight for our children in schools.

Lord, renew our marriages.

Father, we pray for our president, our vice president.

Lord, would you help us know this gospel? To see God bring this whole thing together and like a great

symphony or an orchestra and God is the director and we're just each playing our little instrument,

our little piece, our little part, but doing it under the direction and the conducting of the Lord.

It was a beautiful thing.

Help us, O Lord, have a deep desire to be presented to you spotless.

Move our hearts with your mercy. Draw the nations to yourself.

I hope that tonight is a beginning,

not an end.

But that it would spark
