Romans 7:21-25
"So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin." (Romans 7:21-25)

Sunday Focus: Pastoral Cares
Pastor Daniel: Jesus said, “Smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered” (Mark 14:27). Satan knows that if he can bring down the man of God, the work of God will be severely hindered in your city. Pray the armor of God over PD (Ephesians 6:10-18). Quote Scriptures for his protection (Psalm 91; Luke 19:10; etc.). Pray that no weapon formed against him would prosper (Isaiah 54:17), that he would not be ignorant of the enemy’s devices, and that the enemy would not gain advantage over him (II Corinthians 2:11).
Pastor Dave: Pray for strength and energy in the midst of a busy month.
Cynthia (CMD): Effective teaching at a CEF Party Club on May 10.

Pray for the world
Lithuania: The Protestant church faces many challenges. Among them are: 1) The traditional denominations (Lutheran, Reformed and Orthodox) are largely associated with the shrinking ethnic minorities, just struggling to maintain their numbers. B0 The Baptists, Pentecostals and Adventists are the most established evangelical groups in Lithuania, but are struggling to come out of a Soviet-era time warp. The hyper-conservatism and defensiveness which enabled them to survive the lean years are now barriers to their growth. Pray that the leadership might see the need for forward progress under the Spirit’s guidance.
