Thru the Bible - Reading for Wednesday October 8th Jeremiah 10:1-11:23 Colossians 3:18-4:18 Psalm 78:56-72 Proverbs 24:28-29 As I read todays reading it reminds me of my need for more prayer in my life. I, like Jeremiah, pray for the Lord to set my path and correct me when I veer of course in my thoughts or actions. To give me guidance and teach me to rely on the Lord to defend me in times of trouble. Paul encourages us to pray and reminds me how important it is to devote time in prayer and with a thankful heart. This from a man who was sitting in prison bound in chains. He had his focus on the right priority and while he was bound, he was truly free. What has you bound and in chains today? Worry, anxiety, addiction, health, lust, power, relationships? Let God set you free today. Just ask Him. Sometimes we are hesitant to pray, that we dont have the right words or pray in the right way, or we dont pray as well as someone else. Dont worry, for while you speak, He is reading your heart. Psalm 37:4 - Take delight in the Lord and he shall give you the desires of your heart. Some excerpts from todays reading..... Jeremiah’s Prayer 10:23 I know, Lord, that our lives are not our own. We are not able to plan our own course. 24 So correct me, Lord, but please be gentle. Do not correct me in anger, for I would die. 25 Pour out your wrath on the nations that refuse to acknowledge you— on the peoples that do not call upon your name. For they have devoured your people Israel[c]; they have devoured and consumed them, making the land a desolate wilderness. An Encouragement for Prayer Colossians 4:2 Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. 3 Pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about his mysterious plan concerning Christ. That is why I am here in chains. 4 Pray that I will proclaim this message as clearly as I should. Prayer will change your life.....
