Good morning! Let’s begin our day thanking God for waking each of us up this morning.
Prayer Focus
This if going to be hard and incomplete, but some thoughts I want to share while this is still fresh in our memories and on the news numerous times every day. As sad as it is, God can and will use it in a positive way!
Let’s pray for those who were in the flood waters Friday in Texas. Thank God for those who were safe while also praying for the families of those who were lost in the flood. Pray for families, communities, and school friends too. What an awful experience and memory!
Also, pray for others in the flood. There were families tent camping there too. Many of them also perished.
Thank God for the survivors. Thank God for those who worked and are still working so hard to prevent the girls from perishing. Thank God for those who somehow survived in trees and debris.
I know You have plans for their lives. Thank for for those plans. May they be used the your service.
Let’s pray for families – parents, siblings, grandparents, cousins, etc. Pray for their friends at home, teachers, churches, etc. Each life touched so many others. Each life and each death can be an opportunity to share about Jesus.
Thankfully, many were saved. Lord, I pray you will use this awful event to draw others into your kingdom, to strengthen families, to touch the lives of teachers, friends, neighbors, etc. May each life and death draw others into your kingdom and your service.
Thank-you God for all those who have worked to locate and rescue others. Lord, let this not be “Just another call for service”, but a changing point in many lives too.
Lord, thank-you for the Christians there to minister to others on-the-spot, immediately, and every day since them. May they forever have a testimony to share that points to You.
May those like me who are not personally touched also remember how fragile life is. May we be like those parents and be able to encourage others to know, love, and serve Him. May we all be able to use this event to witness to others.
Prayer Request
Please pray for Rachel and Trey Buckley as he is again having some health issues and as they work with the doctor to develop the best plan for treatment. May the Lord guide them to the best plan to improve his health. Thank you for your prayers.

Additional Bible Reading
‘God’s Spirit Will Be with God’s
People, Forever!’ (Is. 59:21)

you and my words I have given you will not leave you. They will
be with your children and grandchildren forever,” says the Lord.
(Easy English Translation)
None of us are imperfect, but we can all continue serving God, praying,
helping, and encouraging others. etc. Take a step, even a little one, in
being a friend who encourages others in their walk with God. Consider
the opportunities you have during this day and act on them or make a
specific plan and follow through. “Take a step to ….
