Hello, my dears!

I have this strong calling in my heart to invite everyone to join in a time of fasting and prayer.

I believe that God is calling us to purify our hearts and rid ourselves of any spiritual slumber or worldliness. It is vitally important for all of us to pause, calm down and listen to what the Spirit of God is revealing, what He is saying and what He is calling us to do. From time to time, we all unwittingly find ourselves swept up once more in the whirlpool of this world. That is why constant prayer, listening to the Word, fasting and gatherings of the faithful are spiritual disciplines given to us, through which the Holy Spirit helps us to keep our gaze fixed on Christ and to understand what is truly happening within us, in our marriages, relationships and ministries. Let us not miss out on this grace – the opportunity to do all this together. We will begin our fast on 9 November and conclude it on 15 November. On Friday, 13 November, we will gather for communal prayer at the church premises. On all other days of the week, let us pray with our family, our small group, or find one or two like-minded people to pray with. If you have neglected your prayer life, return to it – it is of the utmost importance. The Lord loves us deeply, so He leaves nothing within us that could harm us. Let us hold fast to His hand, and He Himself will lead us to where we need to be today (see Jer 33:3). Let us do our part, and the Lord will do His. May you all have blessed days, my dear ones!

Your Pastor, Vilma Ditkevicius
