Today's Verse:
"God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged. " - Hebrews 6:18

Heavenly Father,

Are You revealing Your answers to our prayers, from the atmosphere all around us?

Jim Coleman, the pastoral worker, was expressing his feeling of helplessness and heart aches for the souls he saw, going into the vistor's centre of Orange County Jail, because they were mostly young women, nicely dressed, carrying babies, or pushing young children in strollers. What would you do, if you were in his shoes, needing to pass by this sidewalk everyday?

He prayed.

Indeed, Father, many scientific studies had been done, and testified that prayer does help in the process of physical and emotional healing! Dr. Carl A. Hammerschlag, M.D. wrote on his blog - prayer is : "Connecting to something other than self, something that inspires you, something that fills you with awe and love; they all embolden the healing spirit."

Father, let us form a habit to pray for at least a person in need each day.

"Dear Lord,
[He/She] needs you now because [his/her] life is full of weary and [he/she] is carrying heavy burdens in [his/her] heart, mind and soul. Father, in forming the habit of reading your Words everyday, may [he/she] find comfort, healing power, joy, peace, pleasure, delight and happiness. Father, may you take away a burden from [he/she] each day, so that [he/she] may find rest in You. Amen "


In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
