Anyone can come to you, and you will listen to their prayers.
Psalm 65:2
WHO I AM
“I wouldn’t be who I am if it were not for you.” These words, spoken by my grandson, have endeared him to me. I can’t recall anything specific, but I remember many times when he needed us; and we were there.
Time and again I’m in need. The specifics matter not. I search for God’s guidance and comfort, and He is there.
Prayer: Thank You Lord for hearing and answering my prayers!

In everything give thanks
1 Thessalonians 5:18
I’m going back decades to a little book by Jane Walsh Augland called A Friend is Someone Who Likes You, a small book with powerful words. It took a near-death illness for me to realize how many friends I have. I have a grateful heart.
I could feel the love and concern from my friends during those dark days - in big and small ways from prayers, to cards, to visits.
A Covenant friend gave me another small book called Jesus Calling by Sarah Young, a book of daily devotions. I read it every day and it reminds me how blessed I am even if I don’t always realize it. It, too, is a small but powerful book. It reminds me: In all things give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Prayer: Gentle Jesus, remind us again to be grateful for friends and relatives, for great and little deeds, and especially for each new day. To you we pray. Amen
