Awareness brings responsibility.
We have been praying, standing, and talking about the reality of this battle, but sometimes we need to see it more clearly.
What is happening is not far away. It is right here, in our backyard, affecting both Texas and New Mexico. The video below gives us a clearer look at the reality we are facing and the level of deception at work.
If you have a few minutes, I encourage you to watch it:
When we are given the ability to see clearly, we are also given responsibility.
A responsibility to pray, to stand, and to respond.
Thank you to each of you who continues to show up faithfully. What you are doing matters.
We are continuing to move forward, and tomorrow we will meet again with leaders from across the state to take the next steps, including planning a statewide march to unite New Mexico citizens and stand as one in this fight.
God is moving, and we are being invited to be part of it.
Please join us! We’ll have a photo booth, food, prizes, and an opportunity for fellowship.

Devotional for Day 35
Intention:
For clarity, courage, and a willingness to respond to the truth.
Scripture:
“For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light.” Luke 8:17
Reflection:
There are moments when God allows us to see more clearly. What was hidden becomes visible, and what was unclear comes into the light. These moments are not given to overwhelm us, but to invite us to respond. When we are shown the truth, we are also being entrusted with it. God gives us clarity so that we may act with courage, rooted in Him.
Prayer:
Lord, open my eyes to see clearly and give me the courage to respond. Do not let me turn away from what You are revealing, but help me to remain faithful in prayer and action.
Challenge:
Take time to watch the video prayerfully. Share the video and ask others to get involved. Pray Psalm 51 for Dr. Theard.
40 Days of Gift Giving
Each day, one Registered Prayer Volunteer from every vigil site will be selected to receive a small Southwest Coalition merchandise item that we already have on hand. It is a simple and joyful way for us to thank you for showing up and standing faithfully in prayer.
