This is the Prayer from 4/29/16
When you are in pain, you are more immobile, more apt to do that dreaded paper work, more inclined to take time to think about where you're going, where you have been, and what you have accomplished. You become more acutely aware of your desperate need for the healing powers from Jesus. When you really need them, Bible verses come to mind - Psalm 103:2-3 "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;"
We have been given so much that we have grown to expect, and as a result we have lost some of that deep sense of appreciation. We toss out words like appreciation and love as lightly as if we are commenting that the sky is blue. I love my home, I love my dog. When was the last time you looked at your spouse, or child and saw them as a part of you, an important part of your life? When was the last time you hugged them, said I love you, and felt a really sincere, tender moment pass between you?
Satan has been working overtime to bring into our lives new conveniences that only distract our attention from life, from one and other, and particularly from our giving time to the Lord. Be sure to weigh each convenience for what it is, and never let IT become more time consuming than the time you spend with loved ones, and let it not crowd out time you would spend in the Word, or in prayer. Forgive us our sins, Lord, and open our eyes to our ever pressing need of Your presence. In Jesus name we pray. Amen

Dear Father, graciously pour your love into my heart and pour your love into the hearts of those in my family and church family. We need your help to love those around us more. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Sometimes we have to hear someone sincerely say how much they love us, for our heart to open up and make us realize how much we love them in return. We should try to keep that in mind because we never know when that last opportunity may be. In this fast paced world, they may leave for a routine trip to town, and never come back home because an accident has taken their life. Look at your spouse, your children, know, feel, and express your sincere love for them. Amen

Ephesians 6:11-18 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with t***h, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the pr********n of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Verse of the Day for Monday, October 23, 2017:
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. â 2 Timothy 1:7
Thoughts on Today's Verse....
When we became Christians, Jesus gave us the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38; Titus 3:3-7). The Spirit lives in us, making our bodies a Temple (1 Cor. 6:19-20) and blessing us in many ways (Romans 8). We can be courageous people even in the face of attack, criticism, and ridicule because of the Spirit's presence. The fruit that the Spirit produces (Gal. 5:22-23) and the love that the Spirit pours into our heart (Rom. 5:5) do not make us weak. Instead, the Spirit's presence is a powerful force to help us overcome sin (Rom. 8:13) and live self-disciplined lives.
My Prayer...
Father, thank you for the Spirit's constant presence in my life. Please empower me with even greater courage and strength as I face the daily challenges in my life. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Dear Lord, have me be courageous when someone should say, "Oh, don't say that, it may offend someone." If offending someone when I speak of You, so be it - let them be offended, but stand by me and infuse me with the courage to then be offensive. Amen
