Today’s Verse:
"For a man's ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all his paths." – Proverbs 5:21

Prayer for Today :

Heavenly Father,

We face challenges everyday. We ask You for a dream to come true and then, we are faced with unexpected obstacles or situations. Father, if following You means banging our noses on to some brick walls, we will just do that! Father, what exactly do you want us to do, if we were given this BIG dream but don't want to get hurt? Maybe it's time to quiet ourselves in His presence and ask Him what He wants us to do.

Father, we should follow Your lead, no matter how silly it might sound, but we are quite logical sometimes and it wouldn't be easy to follow Your instruction when it felt like a blind horse leading our way, with our eyes closed.

Some of the most successful businesses in the world started with a silly idea. Think of some of the most successful people we know, say the founder of the Walt Disney or the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken. Have you ever think that cola was actually a medication drink in the 50s? How about Crystal Cathedral, which was built out of a snack-bar roof of a drive-in theatre?

Father, nothing is impossible through Your mighty hands, there may be setbacks, there may be challenges, there may be obstacles, but Father, just remind us that NOTHING is too big for You to help us resolve. Although the opportunities are not here today, doesn't mean that they are not on the way, doesn't mean that they are not going to happen tomorrow. Don't throw away tomorrow and don't throw away hope.

In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
