Embrace Your Poverty

We so appreciate your faithful prayers, promotion and provision on behalf of Greenhouse. Thank you for being a Builder. This summer, and into the fall, we invite you to pray through several of the themes from Matthew 5 which we briefly cited last spring.

Matthew 5:3

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Ask God to help us to embrace our poverty of spirit, in which we come to Him empty-handed and longing to be filled with His Spirit. Pray that Greenhouse will mirror that posture of joyful and expectant dependence while preparing for the new school year. Ask for God’s protection from the temptation to rely on our own understanding and our own righteousness rather than His. Pray that the kingdom of heaven will be evident in our lives individually, as families, and as a learning community.
