Today’s Verse:
"By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going." – Hebrews 11:8

Prayer for Today :

Heavenly Father,

There are too many times that we experience lost in this world. Some people may be single or divorced and have lost their "love relationship" identity. Others may have lost their jobs and lost their "status" identity...and Father, there are just too many losts around us!

God, when we feel unease and need someone to lean on, remind us that "the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken." God, when we feel weak and need someone to hold on, remind us "For you have been my hope, O Sovereign LORD, my confidence since my youth."

Father, You have called Abraham to leave his habitat and he did. Father, You have called him to step into a territory he didn't know of and he did. And why? Father, if Abraham can bravely stepped out in faith, so can we! Father, if You ever call on us, assist us to be like Abraham, help us to step out in faith, even if we have to leave our comfort zone, to a place where we feel inadequate or unprepared.

Father, perhaps, You only asked us to go to church every Sunday, or to go to do some voluntary work or church work, or to be a good listener, or to help a brother or sister in Christ.... Father, although, we were not called to sacrifice ourselves, like the Christians in the old testiment, we are sure that You will be proud of us, even though we are only taking small steps in helping others or spreading Your words... for You will always look at our heart and mind and soul, our obedience and our faith, more importantly than any other things.

In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
