ACFW Conference Prayer: For the Genesis Contest Finalists
Psalm 135:5-6–For I know that the Lord is great and that our Lord is above all gods. Whatever the Lord pleases, He does, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all their depths.
Our Father we come to you in praise and Thanksgiving for this new day. In the name of Jesus, please forgive us of our sins on yesterday. Thank you for your mercies anew.
Today we lift up each finalist in the Genesis contest. Flood their hearts with your peace that surpasses all understanding. Bind the enemy’s attempt to hinder. May they remember their ultimate prize of eternal life. Amen.

Lord, please let the aspirants ken
that the earthly judgement of their work
comes from the mortal hearts of men,
and does not Thy name invoke.
We all are human, and want to win,
to claim that long-sought prize,
but the finish line’s where we begin
to run the race for Holy eyes.
The victor’s and the loser’s stance
are the hallmark of our faith;
and our smiling, facing the hand of chance
is our defining sign of grace.
Let our striving for God’s glory
be but the prologue of our story.
