Tuesday

“I issue a decree that in every part of my kingdom people must fear and reverence the God of Daniel.

For he is the living God and he endures forever; his kingdom will not be destroyed, his dominion will never end.”

~Daniel 6:26 (NIV)~

 

 

 

Some reasons you might want to thank God today:

  • Jesus loves you
  • Your family loves you
  • Your house didn’t flood
  • No tornadoes in our area
  • No sickness in your family
  • A job with good benefits
  • Another year of school completed
  • You are “graduating”, despite the virus
  • Someone called you
  • Someone visited you
  • You have a church family
  • Your child/grandchild was baptized
  • You get to work in VBS this year
  • Your church is finding a way for worship despite the virus
  • A neighbor brought you fresh vegetables
  • You are not in the hospital
  • Your grown children check on you
  • Your car runs smoothly
  • Your roof doesn’t leak
  • You had a good day yesterday 
  • You were able to rest well last night
  • You have a telephone
  • Etc.

 

 

 

 

Prayers needed today!  Today, I want to ask for prayers for those who are undergoing chemo, having scans, doing more blood work, getting another opinion, quarantined with the virus, facing additional surgery, etc.

 

 

 

I also encourage you to pray for those who are lost, discouraged, depressed, losing their homes, dealing with children who are in trouble, families with seemingly unsolvable differences, families with members working too many hours, families facing an unwanted move, families with very little food in the pantry, families with more bills than money, older people who cannot afford their medication, families separated by too many miles, neglected children, families with no air conditioning in our hot climate, families needing drivable automobiles, people who need a job, etc.

 

 

 

You can pray for specific people you know in some of these situations or pray in general.  These are some of the needs around us.  Some of these needs may even be in your family or household.  You don’t need names.  They need prayers!  Hopefully, this list has you thinking and praying,
