Friday, March 10

 This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24

ANOTHER DAY

Another day to know the love

Of family and friends.

Another day to make amends

Before life's journey ends.

Another day to realize

The joy that life can be.

Another day to thank the Lord

For blessings given me.

Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.

Luke 11:1b

Jesus taught the disciples the Lord's Prayer, and many of us learned these words from early childhood. We also pray as the Spirit leads us. When we pray, we confess our faith and lift up our concerns, remembering that:  

The sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening; We meet challenges daily:  Health problems, financial problems, family problems, miscellaneous concerns regarding health, home, transportation, employment, civic affairs.  

Does Jesus care about these things?  The old hymn reminds us that  "His heart is touched by my grief . . I  know my Saviour cares."

What a blessing it is, when we pray, to know that God hears, Jesus prays with us, and the Holy Spirit guides us according to our requests and needs.  

Thanks be to God.
